It feels like collectively our industry is going through the five stages of grief at present with respect to LLMs.

@neilhenning That's not a real thing.

And seems to imply you think everyone using slop is inevitable.

@yora I think it depends on the progress this year and next but if you extrapolate out Claude’s 4.5 -> 4.6 progress then it is inevitable.

As someone who takes great pride in my code and being a coder this brings me no joy.

@neilhenning @yora I read that 4.6 uses around three times as many tokens ( i.e, electricity ) as 4.5... I also read elsewhere that claude is *massively* subsidised.
