@ImSh4yy What is overblown? Maybe my timeline different but free 100T tokens on model that does not worse, if not better than opus 5, why complain.
I gave it tasks which opus and fable run it circles, and it pushed through, maybe it took it 12h, but at least it wasnt lazy smartass
its sales and marketing as a single continuous process, not marketing in isolation
the deeper issue is the mindset shift. engineering starts from a clear vision, you break the abstraction into discrete controllable pieces, implement them, and the feedback is immediate and absolute – it either works or it does not, pure classical binary
sales and marketing take the same vision and require you to externalize it as a story that lives in other people’s heads.
you still dissect, build and measure, but the system you are operating in never collapses to a clean zero or one.
an ad, a pitch, a message can be working and not working at the same time depending on who receives it, when, and in what context. that superposition is the part that feels alien.
engineers are trained to eliminate uncertainty through verification; this forces you to act inside permanent ambiguity where the only “truth” is probabilistic and narrative-driven.
imo that is why the whole thing feels so foreign and why so many of us end up "hating it".
penn state 2025 (“mind your tone”) found very rude prompts hit 84.8% accuracy vs 80.8% for very polite ones
sergey brin also said models do better when you threaten them
not exclusively “bad people” - some of us just want the model to stop being lazy
moralizing about it is the real cope
@Kappaemme1926 Its ram that matters and if you run a lot of terminals, or there is leak like older claude.code had no amount would save you,i remember 96gb one just crashing because oom. The more the better, because you can also run local models
Shill cope’ is just when it seems like someone’s explaining away a company’s struggles as a secret big plan.
In my view Anthropic has been losing momentum for quite a while now (product, hype, everything).
So framing the silence as ‘the biggest comeback’ felt a bit to say the least optimistic to me.
That’s all I meant
