yeah, I see what you mean. healthy is more about a diet and even then it's about the diet and the person

I didn't say let's put a "healthy" label on healthy foods

cannot stand this utterly useless category. let's just say what makes foods healthy or not

Surveillance is not a purely philosophical issue with purely esoteric harms. Surveillance is a sensitive and often faulty trigger that summons armed agents of the state with impunity that can take away a person's freedom.

should have asked what people think of ChatGPT too. people hate "big tech" but when you ask about individual companies they love them all

when claude is good enough, "just a claude agent SDK wrapper" can do a whole lot!

No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user The viral claim that Anthropic loses $5,000 per Claude Code subscriber doesn't survive basic scrutiny. Let's do the actual maths.

heh, did you catch this? I don't think it's the most rigorous way to make the argument but I agree with the direction β€” I think people are way overstating the amount of subsidy

I agree however that breaking things up into better pieces is an important part of dealing with this

this doesn't solve the problem because even if you break them up into more reviewable pieces, we're still producing more of them, plus they can interact

this is what I was getting at here β€” there are only returns to someone spending more time to review code if they are uniquely well positioned to review that exact code. I think that describes fewer actual code reviewers than we would like

I think it depends a lot on the quality of review you get for that $30. even at $100k, $25 is 30 minutes of dev time (generously). I don't find it hard to imagine the bot review being significantly better than 30 min of $100k dev review time. it's probably better than 30 min of my time

I know you're kidding, but that is exactly what this is doing for the $20

10.03.2026 05:03 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

the relevant unit isn't really the individual PR, it's aggregate bugs found. you'd pay $30 per PR because you don't know which ones will turn up bugs and which won't. if you knew a PR didn't have bugs you would just merge it

10.03.2026 04:07 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

right, exactly. $30 is like 10 minutes of my time and what's the likelihood I have the exact expertise to review your PR

10.03.2026 03:24 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

well Iβ€˜m sure part of it is checking initial positives against the code and running tests and stuff

Again Zitronβ€”to his creditβ€”accurately describes the situation, but doesn’t realize he’s giving away the game entirely if he admits that people are choosing to pay for higher quality.

Because model developers hit a wall of diminishing returns, and the only way to make their models do more was to make them burn more tokens to generate a more accurate response (this is a very simple way of describing reasoning, a thing that OpenAI launched in September 2024 and others followed).

As a result, all the β€œgains” from β€œpowerful new models” come from burning more and more tokens.

this is why I say here Zitron is giving the game away when he says oh, people are only getting better results by paying more for them. that’s the whole thing working as well as it could!

I don't think people have grasped yet that if you were really confident the tokens were good, you would never stop jamming money in the machine

same reason successful companies grow: they're machines that turn labor and money into more money. add more labor and more money and you get more money
