It was only a matter of time before some AI-addled guy saw me quoting fucked up parts of the Claude code source, thought it was my code, and say it was just a skill issue and I just need to {prompting superstition} but it finally happened.

man what is going on.

edit: since this post is spreading a bit further than I'm used to my posts spreading, I feel obliged to add: we have suspended this person for below racist comment and you may want to as well, and I am leaving this post up for moderation receipts purposes for now, but please do not go harass/brigade him.

i usually try not to dunkpost but i also usually don't get called little buddy
Show threadjonny (good kind)4d ago
i have not yet blocked because this guy is saying that claude code must have been written by hand because it has comments in it and i am utterly fascinated that kinds of guys like this can even exist

@jonny What's stopping execs at a bot company from unleashing waves of bots defending the quality of their AI code by claiming it's coded by humans?

(Just my theory. I can make up stories about AI, since they make up stories about humans all the time, right? It's only fair. )

@jonny
well, that was a fun ride until the inevitable racism

"the code sucks, but the comments are suspiciously great" is such an amazing way to endorse the source

@jonny
one of my first thoughts reading your big thread was that their only takeaway would be "well if claude is this amazing despite its superfund site of a codebase, imagine how amazing the next version will be!"

@lina i have this fear too and that is one of the reasons i gotta write this up

@jonny
maybe it'll dawn on them after the inevitable followup leak of an even more disastrous codebase...

or maybe the one after that.....

@[email protected] @[email protected] Palestine is an asylum for the criminally insane. The whole place. Everyone. Locked from the inside, standing on the outside everyone else yelling at them to stop fighting. Taking sides. Nobody wins. Everyone's guilty. Someone should just conquer and disarm them all, lunatics every one. Putin has been at war every day since he came to power. This war in Ukraine will end five minutes after he is dead and not one minute before. Most of leadership is just coping.

@jonny

TBH, I thought he was an LLM bot that someone gave prompts to gaslight you about the code, just to obfuscate the issue.

The "old man" jabber was too on-point without enough emotional reflection.
