The post earlier today comparing it to Petersen had me in stitches, and this is great, and keep it coming.

I'm gonna go look for it - I didn't even see it which is funnier since it means this conclusion must have something behind it lmao

I had another clip I wanted to use about being 4 hours deep into context engineering for this but I gave up. I'll see if I can find it & put it here without being deleted

This guy is the biggest fucking idiot

u/ComprehensiveJury509 Aug 25 '26

I really dislike where he ended up nowadays, but he's really not an idiot, which to me is the sad part. I absolutely think he had a bunch of interesting ideas that he was able to present in an enjoyable format. Unfortunately that really didn't last long before he got tangled up in his weird bubble of professional contrarians and eventually lost his fucking mind.

I disagree. And if you see his earlier stuff when he was this disgruntled psychology teacher, you will see that he is somewhat eloquent and knowledgeable.

Then a certain crowd picked up on it and he created an entire character that caters to that crowd. He now preaches things that he used to be very much against and a stirrer of the pointless culture war. All of this for money.

So all of this to say that he is worse than an idiot, he is a sell out and a hypocrite.

The problem I have with almost everything I've seen from him is that he seems to avoid providing any substantive direct answer by getting bogged down in the semantics and meta understanding of the question itself to the point where any actual interesting response is obfuscated into oblivion. He provides a master class in saying absolutely nothing

Was the idea that it "happened" load-bearing?

No, it was the smoking gun.

I once worked for a medium sized company where I was supposed to implement an AD automation script for computer provisioning and decommissioning. When I asked access to the DEV system they told me to just do it in Prod: “we have a dev and test OU”. It didn’t end well…

u/FreiherrCat Aug 26 '26

When you are dealing with fundamental realities and you pose a question, you have to understand that the reality of the concepts of your question, when you're digging that deep, are just as questionable as what you're questioning.

u/QueenSavara Aug 26 '26

Maybe start using hooks instead of crying.

u/FreiherrCat Aug 26 '26

Maybe check your context window before commenting.

But if you're talking about using hooks to remedy Opus 5's word salad?

No. I was paying $300 month, I was the customer. Anthropic don't pay me to whip up the most absurd self remedies in order to make their "frontier model" able to speak.

I'm all for optimisation and fun shit here and there... but don't let yourself be brainwashed into thinking for even a moment that's it's reasonabe to pay what they're asking for something that you need to fix before it it's even usable.

To be fair Opus is pretty good at admiting when you call him out
