The endless cynicism in this thread is so very draining. Can we not do this terrible circle of excessive criticism?

The productive comments here are so far and few between. I have no issue with people criticizing Anthropic or AI companies in general, but for the love of everything, at least make worthy criticisms. Not these incessant sophisms.

View on HN

The one I've gotten extremely tired of is every single AI thread now having dozens upon dozens of the exact same joke where people talk in Claudish.

It was funny the first time. But I genuinely don't understand people 6 levels deep or 30 comments down the thread thinking, "wow - this'll really knock their socks off".

The cynicism will stop when the musical chairs of money fueling the bubble does.

How does endless cynicism without purpose help this situation you describe?

There's something deeply wrong with HN, like a mass psychosis when it comes to Anthropic.

I think all the sane people just don't bother to comment anymore.

You’re not wrong. We used to call that demographic the self-loathing left. FWIW, Opus 5.5 has been successful for my application building so far. Minimal complaints. When I try out the app it built after, it works.

Yeah this website is almost unreadable

It almost makes you understand how a well-coordinated artificial superintelligence could wipe us out, eh?

I for one welcome our AI overlords.

I am mostly excited about all this but also feel incredibly sad at times about many aspects of it. We need a new word for this feeling pronto.

blursed?

Deep Blues.
