The reality distortion field is strong around anthropic. Anthropic posts tons of equally bullshit blog posts, written entirely by AI, saying absolutely nothing, to the front page and they consistently average many hundreds of upvotes.
Somehow everything boris says has become the word of God. The dude is just an engineer, like you and me, who gets unlimited tokens for free.
And this is hacker news. A place where famously the most upvoted comment is the one critical of the post.
I may not be representative of the universe or have a controlled, randomized study to back it up, but that's not what upvotes are for are they?
I try to reserve my reflexive fanboy company/project votes for underdogs who need and deserve the help.
I real life I meet people who like AI and people who hate it, but nobody who’s on a personal mission to defend Anthropic from anyone that dares to question their hyperbolic marketing.
