reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS.

it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.

Personally, I like how the Pakistani defense minister phrased it. Doubly funny if the reports of Pakistan being a key intermediary are true.

So many chilling lines! This one...

"When every student in a class processes information through the same language model, they are learning to reason through the same system. This introduces a new threat vector on the developing mind.

The model's statistical biases become the student's default framing. The model's reasoning structure becomes the student's reasoning structure. LLMs homogenize not just language but also perspective and reasoning strategies."
