One issue with this is that you remember and learn when you put actual effort. You can read what the LLM teaches you for years, and not reach the same level of understanding than someone who actually struggled trying to design, implement, debug by hand.

I don’t think we have good answers unfortunately. Im very happy to be able to get the exact tools I want for my specific niche and be able to run experiments in no time. But I also see that intellectually I do not engage at the same level. I can justify my reasoning for high level design decisions I tried to get the agent to follow, but if there is an issue or I need to justify an implementation decision that’s way messier. I had that experience a few times over the past year and every time I have to reverse engineer what the agent might have been doing before I can answer, or realizing I completely misunderstood a specific protocol because I didn’t have to actively engage with it

That’s gone. There is no going back in life

> it's not like Anthropic is a saint either:

I’m so confused. Your link shows they are pushing for guardrails, what is bad about that? It is consistent with Anthropic safety-first principles, and what Dario wrote and talked about for the past decade or so? Could you be more direct with your criticism? Otherwise it’s hard to engage with

The ones I’m aware of do, yes

You’re missing something. I’m pretty sure it’s not only about the cost. Anthropic literally doesn’t have enough compute. They have to balance the load between enterprise customers and end users with subscription. If you consider they don’t have infinite compute (ie at their scale there is a limit to how much is available in a given region) and something is causing subscription users to increase usage significantly they do have to find a way to balance.

At least that’s my read. I don’t believe it is nefarious

It's not nefarious it's just bad PR cover. They definitely don't have enough compute.

Makes sense, yes. That’s definitely not sustainable

All those discussions about career suicide. Are you all that afraid to do what you think is right because you could get fired?

What Axel does by coming public with his named attached is remarkable. He gains a lot of respect in my book. Even if it is one sided and details are missing

The career suicide wasn't escalating (although probably that was job suicide). The career suicide is venting and airing all of your former employee's dirty laundry. Unless your former employer is doing something deeply unethical, writing hit pieces against them after you leave is going to make you less attractive to future employers. Before this article, employers would see "experienced and available cloud engineer." After this, employers would see "backstabber who was probably fired for being a pain."

But also, this is Hacker News. Many of us work for companies that are largely making the world worse in exchange for large salaries. Many of us have, probably unconsciously, built our lives around not doing what we think is right in exchange for not getting fired.

You have all the right words but some are in the wrong order.

that's a boomer ass take the world doesn't work like this anymore

If your reaction is emblematic of the way people reacted to his points internally that does give more credibility to his side of the story IMHO
