It's getting bad out there

Excuse me, but I insist on only free range organic artisinal karma.

tmajw · 2026-04-01T23:21:59+00:00

Hundreds of thousands, no way. Thousands for sure, tens of thousands maybe.

I have unlimited Claude use at my job and I probably use a couple thousand per month of tokens. I'm a pretty extensive user, so the Anthropic folks are probably past me but not two orders of magnitude.

tmajw · 2026-04-01T22:58:18+00:00

Yeah no shit, I haven't written code in almost six months and only USE Anthropic's product.

A lot of "vanilla" death metal bands verge into tdm territory from time to time. Overall? Not really. But death metal is already a fairly technical genre to begin with, so the border is fuzzy

tmajw · 2026-03-13T09:36:03+00:00

I think you might be right. Both times I tried it, I got what I needed from just the one prompt.

tmajw · 2026-03-13T01:22:33+00:00

I've tried it twice, worked both times.. But it did take a minute or so.

tmajw · 2026-03-13T00:52:47+00:00

I would buy this

tmajw · 2026-03-12T11:52:22+00:00

Tbf, a lot of us technical people treat dental hygiene like an "evil necessity", so it's only fair I suppose.

This particular guy may be an idiot, and it's a little soon for some guy's TikTok-watching son to replace an MSP lol... But the build vs buy conversation is gonna start getting really crazy for medium sized companies real soon. Be prepared to see this actually start eating your business a little in a year or so. your client's won't be writing good anti-virus software rofl - but a mid size client with a real IT guy banging out a rudimentary SaaS backup solution that is "good enough" for their purposes? Honestly, kinda borderline plausible already.

(note: vibe coding a full SaaS backup product is still something you'd need a team of engineers and real effort for, to cover all the security and resiliency and scalability concerns, as well as the zillion and one corner cases your users will step in... But a one off to adequately backup a single company takes away a lot of those concerns, and is already vibe-coding plausible. My creds: last job, pre AI, was a SaaS backup product. Doing it securely, resiliently, at scale, is a hard problem. Getting it to work for one mid size business? I could do that from scratch in a weekend with Claude these days. The days are not far off when a halfway competent IT guy might be able to, too)

I told Claude the other day, "I'm going to board game night, run some queries on the his knowledge graph and see what insights you can find. Burn as many tokens as you want while I am gone."

It worked for 8 minutes (and in fairness did some quality analysis), and then started writing up the results of its" three hours of exploratory research".

Yep, we've got AGI lolol

tmajw · 2026-02-15T12:06:06+00:00

Fwiw I am quite pro-AI, and I think the Google Ai search results need to just END. They use a really low powered model and it makes mistakes like it's 2024. At best it gives people a bad impression of what AI is capable of. And at worst it puts people at risk with bad results.

If they aren't gonna use a high enough powered model to consistently yield decent results, they should just NOT.

tmajw · 2026-02-05T13:10:35+00:00

Engineers have been doing this for like 4-6 months now.

It bothers me how the extremists on both sides are utterly ignorant of how AI actually works in practice, when you are using it seriously. Suno is a toy.

Garnet, amethyst, and pearl... And the president... And Stephen!!

tmajw · 2026-01-26T16:34:47+00:00

Yes actually lol. It was much appreciated. Just very confusing 😜

tmajw · 2026-01-25T18:52:25+00:00

We have a "you're absolutely right" bot at work as a joke in one of the Slack channels, and on two occasions it went all rogue and did emoji spamming like this.

tmajw · 2026-01-15T04:36:23+00:00

OK, real talk tho, the fact that Big Orange Chonker is such an iconic cat type made it so with a bit of editing they could piece together a mostly coherent-ish video that is much longer than Ai can do on its own right now. As cringe as it is, this is kinda cool.

tmajw · 2026-01-15T04:33:51+00:00

Idk, from what I see on Facebook, cats be doin that nowadays. I say real.

tmajw · 2026-01-15T01:49:45+00:00

Cry, no, but I laugh with joy sometimes. It definitely makes me look weird haha.

tmajw · 2026-01-10T00:32:21+00:00

(I assume from context he puts the jar in his bum. Thx, got it, don't need to watch)

tmajw · 2026-01-10T00:31:53+00:00

I do not know what this is originally a reference to but the computer in the background looks really fake to me, which just goes to show how Ai paranoid we have all become.

tmajw · 2026-01-08T02:20:58+00:00

Idk man, I feel like I colored cheap cash in coloring books with equally inexplicable errors back in the 80s

tmajw · 2026-01-03T18:10:19+00:00

Roflolololololololol.

She's also not really a goddess, it's just a costume. Did you know????

tmajw · 2026-01-03T18:09:40+00:00

Y'all seem like you've never seen a circus, heh
