I have a claw that is instructed to make at least 500 pr per day. It uses Claude, Gemeni and openai and runs basically every few minutes. I use online forums for input for the claw. Moltbook, reddit etc. it's quite funny how it tries to improve itself. But to say it really creates a new skynet. Nah. Not at all. It's more a clutter of useless features or incomprehensible code restructuring.

This more or less agrees with my assessment of recent changes in Claude Code where a lot of new features are either:

- A lot of half-baked features or half-done features. - Or have significant overlap with existing features, and aren’t clearly an improvement.

More code is not better. More features are not better. It would be lovely to see more intentional design than just more.

I know they’re dog fooding this. I have to believe they have some people with taste. So it makes me wonder if anyone has the time to think or if they’re just shoveling prompts as fast as possible.

It's like the AI created a method add(a b) return a+a+a+a-b-b-b-b But then much bigger and complex features. Totally useless nothing methods. But still interesting to see occasional exceptions that are better.
