    What absolute scares me is how even if you download Windows Enterprise IoT, which already comes extremely clean out of the box, and then run your favorite debloating script (removing even more crap)… the system still shows a noticeable delay when opening the right click menu, or the start menu, or a new Explorer window. So the most basic possible tasks, that you do constantly, for some reason are slow on a modern multi-core processor and a clean build of the OS.

    How the hell did they manage to downgrade… the start menu? the right click menu? How?


  • Can you imagine the absolute nightmare that the digital world will become once major infrastructure and every other app is poisoned by AI codebases filled with vulnerabilities and nightmare convoluted setups to do basic things?

    Have you even seen what Claude does, randomly, if you tell it a simple bug fix you requested didn’t work? I’ve seen it simply say “Oh, sorry, let’s try something else” and start rewriting everything - from top to bottom - trying to fit previous code in it’s limited context window so it ends up generating this abhorrent mix of code segments that do nothing but look important, fragments of the original code base, and a lot of new code that doesn’t even fix the issue in the first place.










  • It’s important to note that the AI isn’t actually talking about it’s internal system.

    It’s predicting how an AI model would reply to this question.

    This is something people keep getting confused about LLMs. It’s the same with those viral “I asked Claude to describe how it feels to think about himself and got this amazing reply with analogy and philosophical conundrums!”… Yeah that’s not Claude describing how it feels to be himself, that’s Claude generating a reply based on how people tend to talk about LLMs and the tone you requested (first person).


  • And yet they still haven’t managed to get enough people to pay the subscription costs, except the guys trying to package it as a SaaS and hoping the customers don’t notice they’re just a fancy middleman.

    They can scale up training all they want, there’s a natural price point most customers won’t go over. And if you’re thinking about businesses paying that extra cost because they can save money on actual workers… Sure, for a few months, and then they realize what happens when they leave their super intelligent AI agents alone for a few weeks and a website changes the default layout, breaking the entire workflow, or when an important client receives an absurd automated email, or when their AI note taker and financial planning agent is incapable of answering why $20000 disappeared.
