A good article on the #Claude #code #leak:
"The Snake That Ate Itself: What Claude Code’s Source Revealed About #AI #Engineering Culture"
'... The Uncomfortable Truth
The company that sells AI coding tools cannot build a quality product with its own AI coding tools...'

Seeing a lot of hot takes on the ongoing #anthropic source leak hilarity bemoaning just how terrible the code is.
Folks, you're missing the point. Their idea is that code is now a low-level implementation detail, it's not for reading. You only program with prompts, and nobody cares how hard it is for agents to read their own code. That humans still need to review it is considered a temporary inconvenience, which they are solving (for now) in the usual way: hiring more bodies. (cont.)
First things first: Meta is a terrible company that has spent years making terrible decisions and being terrible at explaining the challenges of social media trust & safety, all while prioritiz…
Eventually the AI industry believes "we will develop similar practices around unread code"[1].
They don't know how, they just believe.
It might even work out, given the amount of talent thrown at it. But right now nobody knows.
But what I'm saying is that "lol this code's a mess" is not such a slam dunk you might hope.

It's April 1st.
Insert joke about me retiring from #jellyfin for #roku, using #ai to rework all the code, rewriting the Roku client in #rust, removing all features from the client except watching Jury Duty with Pauly Shore, accepting ad money so you must watch pre-roll ads, locking features behind $$$, or us merging with #Plex here.
Ivan's explainer of why you should bother and go to protest rallies.
1. If people living under an authoritarian regime do nothing, it solidifies, and a few years later you (or your family member) find yourself in a war with some state or another. Or in a famine. Or in a genocide.
2. Coming out on a peaceful protest is a way to avoid item 1 without violence. But for it to work, the numbers must be overwhelming. It may take several times.
So come out to get counted. It's not hard.
