“A substantial patch used to imply substantial effort, and that effort was a reasonable proxy for good faith. That assumption no longer holds.”
Nearly all human input (consultations, research survey, job applications…) relied on this assumption.

I often wonder how much of Claude’s token usage and hence Anthropic revenue is pure waste (e.g. Claude not following instructions or doing things repetitively that it should have done once).
I expected it to be high but not this high. 😱

So much energy wasted and pollution generated because people cling to the idea that the amount of words used is representative of the value of the work.
Wishing they learned from Blaise Pascal: “I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter."

I’m legit scared about #WWDC27
After moving part of my spreadsheet app to subscription (with countless upsell prompts) will renaming files becomes a Finder + premium experience?
Will Quicktime player force LLM dub any movie that's not in English (like Youtube)?
Will the UI get even more light grey on light grey?
"Always check the outputs for errors" = "please recycle" for

I guess fundamentally my objection to vibe coding and LLM contributions in general is that, at least to me, the process of figuring shit out is the point.
I think cutting out that journey is bad engineering, because design docs are rarely correct on the first try.

They literally want to kill personal computing forever.
And replace it with “agents” that they run and make you addicted to and you have to rent from them.
They’re spelling it out what their plans are.

“You know the phrase, “If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product”? AI takes that one step further. We actually are paying for it. And we — our correspondence, our photos, our very lives — are both the raw material and the end product, everything constantly mined and sorted and fed back to us in new ways. Some of them might be incredible; all of them will require this trade”
Good thing Google, Meta and X are all super trustworthy right?
Do not want.
