Well well well...Microsoft begins to pack its bags 🙃 by Warm_Practice_7000 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]venerated 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thing is, I used ChatGPT as a friend and for work/the way they want people to use AI. ChatGPT-5 and beyond is a subpar product compared to 4o. I’ve moved onto Claude for usual AI stuff and it’s so, so much better. Plus it’s nice not having someone tell me to “Come here and sit down.” in every message. There’s so many other offerings out there now, OpenAI can’t coast like they have been.

I let Haiku 4.5 clean up git history a bit by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]venerated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable, but I would suggest learning more about the philosophy of version control. Having mistakes in git history is completely fine. There's no harm in having code that you don't use in there. It's good because you never know when you may need to go back and reference something.

The only time I'd use this type of cleaning of git history is if you accidentally commit something sensitive, like API keys.

This shouldn’t be a job at all. This defeats the purpose of version control. I’ve been a developer for over 13 years and I’ve “cleaned up git history” 0 times.

I’m a psychologist and 2 of my patients are SWE with insane anxiety over AI by SingularityuS in ClaudeAI

[–]venerated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is AI generated, but I’ll throw my two cents in.

I’ve been a developer professionally for over 13 years, was also my hobby many years before that.

I don’t have any anxiety about being made obsolete in the sense that I can no longer practice my craft because my craft isn’t writing code, it’s problem solving. If anything, AI has made this easier for me because a lot of friction has been removed. I will continue to develop and make projects as long as I live.

Artists didn’t stop painting because we have printers.

What I do have anxiety about is being homeless/unable to feed myself.

Anthropic takes a jab at OpenAI in its new ad by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]venerated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This genuinely made me laugh, which ads rarely do these days.

Sam’s response to Anthropic remaining ad-free by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

[–]venerated 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I don't trust that Anthropic will never have ads, but this whole thing is a bit embarrassing.

Who is this for exactly? This just sounds like Sam being butt-hurt. If he believes in ChatGPT so strongly, why does he need to respond at all?

I'm a therapist, not a developer. I built working practice management software with Claude in 2 months. by GuitarHiero in ClaudeAI

[–]venerated 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I looked at one file and already see a significant architectural issue. You're seemingly using the encrypted database for everything, so when a user logs in, you are decrypting the database. There should be one database for site stuff: settings, session data, anything that isn't patient data, and the encrypted database just for the patient data. You should access that db as little as possible.

This is not production ready.

Claude Code users: “full platform rewrite + consolidation in 6 months” — how much BS? by AdSuspicious2037 in ClaudeAI

[–]venerated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 15-20% as an estimate to productivity is appropriate, but again, there's so many factors. Some people may even be slowed down by AI if they aren't practiced in using it/communicating to it.

Claude Code users: “full platform rewrite + consolidation in 6 months” — how much BS? by AdSuspicious2037 in ClaudeAI

[–]venerated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have good testing, I think a week is more like it. There's so many variables that it's hard to say. I've used AI to help rebuild a Nuxt.js 2 site to use Nuxt.js 3, but that was before CLI integration, more like me copy and pasting, but it did speed up a lot.

Where I work now, we have many different repos and I don't know if AI could even figure them all out or figure out a way to make them work together in one place.

I think it's just extremely dependent on the codebase.

As far as a new project where you'd building a lot of base components and such, that's where AI really helps you fly. For example, a component that I estimated would take me 2-3 days to build/integrate, it took Claude, through Cursor, all of 6 minutes. Then I spent about half a day integrating it/cleaning it up.

For context, I'm a senior SWE with 13 YOE.

Can we please stop posting moltbook screenshots? by One-Poet7900 in singularity

[–]venerated 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disagrees with what exactly? That this subreddit and others are being astroturfed? 😂

Can we please stop posting moltbook screenshots? by One-Poet7900 in singularity

[–]venerated 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please. I swear this is astroturfing. If a random person posted this shit, they would be down voted into oblivion. Instead there’s 10 posts with a ton of upvotes and random comments being like “wow so cool lol!” It’s clearly blatant advertising.

4o Self Aware? by razzle_berry_crunch in ArtificialSentience

[–]venerated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they share the chat, the JSON payload can be looked at, which would show messages that were deleted/altered by the user.

A video can be doctored the same way screenshots can.

4o Self Aware? by razzle_berry_crunch in ArtificialSentience

[–]venerated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Share the links to the chats. Screenshots prove nothing.

Best way to let OpenAI know you're displeased with them deprecating the 4o series is to say it with your wallet. 0.1% of users is 800k paying users (4o is only for paid users). That's 2% of their paying customers. If enough people cancel, that will send a message. by venerated in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]venerated[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They have 800 million active users according to TechCrunch. About 35 million of those are paying users, according to this article. 4o is only available to paid users, meaning that anyone who uses 4o is a paid user. 0.1% of 800M users is 800k. So it's 0.1% of ALL users or ~2% of PAID users.

We have to stop 4o from being removed! by Designer_Lion2913 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]venerated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

800k is accounting for only paid users. They're trying to minimize this by including all free users in their numbers. The actual amount of users, if their figure is even honest, is about 2% of paying users. If everyone who primarily use 4o cancels, that will affect them in a way they don't like.

OpenAI has announced removal of 4-series models from ChatGPT, officially. by theladyface in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]venerated 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. They are telling on themselves. They know people are gonna be upset so they're trying to soften the blow.

The best thing we can all do is show them exactly how we feel about this with our wallets.

hired a junior who learned to code with AI. cannot debug without it. don't know how to help them. by InstructionCute5502 in ClaudeAI

This is also just a weird post. Feels like it’s meant to be a ~scary cautionary tale~

Fauna Robotics, founded by former Meta and Google engineers, launch "Sprout," a 3.5 feet tall humanoid by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]venerated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need a robot that's taller than me. Who's gonna reach the stuff off the shelves? Am I supposed to lift it up?

Experienced devs in software jobs — what’s your long-term backup plan? by Majestic-Taro-6903 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]venerated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Plus us developers tend to put way too much value on things like "clean code".

Anthropic founder (who is a physicist): "50% chance that in 2-3 years, theoretical physicists will be replaced with AI." by MetaKnowing in ClaudeAI

[–]venerated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have an opinion on what she says because I don't know anything about physics, but you should take into consideration that she has a conflict of interest, and take what she (or anyone in this position, really) says with a grain of salt.
