The idea is interesting and I’ve been thinking about tools along the same lines but Claude’s paws are all over the landing page - non-meaningful icons attached to specific concepts, not-optimized for mobile, the contrasts, etc. The bar is higher and if I determine that the author is using coding assistants without touching up the various elements that the agent spits out, it looks bad for the project.

A couple more gigs and I can FIRE

Collecting user data directly by competing on price. The next step would be figuring out how that data can bring them closer to SOTA.

Yes ok but that doesn’t give them the thinking tokens, how to reason about the prompt, which is precisely what’s most important.

Generalization is a tool, not something inherently bad or evil.

Just like how the small web never disappeared, people writing will not disappear. Your ability to find them will be impeded but it won’t be impossible.

Yeah, a lot of Claude Code users(me included) found in March if rework is free or not.

The Google lover to Google hater pipeline is still going strong.

You’re not coding in Vim?!?! /s

Isn’t it better for all parties if the user is informed that they’re being investigated?

This way they might stop from doing the act for which they’re investigated instead of actually carrying it out.

No. We want to catch and send you to the slammer. Criminals and terrorists usually NEVER STOP trying.

Thank you for exemplifying this point. The justice system isn't about stopping crimes. It's about inflicting punishment. In some cases, the justice system even encourages or creates crimes, so it can punish someone.

Sometimes crimes are created by governments to control behavior or punish those that opposed their preferred views. Think about those ideas about criminalizing not calling someone by their pronouns, for example.

But yours is a ridiculous conclusion that prison does not stop crimes. Of course sending you to the slammer STOPS the crimes you were going to commit.

Also, we don’t have to send criminals to the slammer. We can send them to live with you and your family, but something tells me your performative statements stop short of allowing that. And that is the issue, some people like you want “society at large” to bear the cost of crime, but don’t want to bear the cost themselves. This has to tell you everything you need to know. It’s basically suicidal empathy. I could ask you to ask Pava Lapere how that worked out, but she is dead.

Or they stop using the means of communication that has become compromised and find a new way starting the cat&mouse over again.

This is like saying that an undercover agent must answer "yes" when asked by anyone if they are part of a law enforcement agency. What would be the point of being undercover?

The problem is the abuse of the invasive searching. If the evidence is compelling enough, then present that evidence to a judge and have a legit signed warrant. Unfortunately, there will be judges with a rubber stamp.

The appeal to authority is strong here. A tool stochastic parrot can be useful too.
