I ask Codex (I am not using Anthropic anymore) to always generate a plan file first, unless explicitly told otherwise. I also tell it to write deviations and rename plans accordingly once done. That way I keep the codebases I have to or enjoy to work on in my head and don't become too dependant on any provider or on stochastic parrots in general.
Anthropic Left as the Only Private Company in the World? CEO Dario Amodei Pushes Back on Criticism From Critics: 'I Do Not Agree That…' https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/anthropic-l...
Hence why the Anthropic employee is telling you to not use it and just aimlessly throw tokens at a wall. It'll eventually get you there, sure, and consume more tokens. This sounds absurd, but trust that Anthropic (and any large company) is hyper aware of how customer behavior impacts their revenue, and they certainly will try to steer you into behavior that increases revenue. Also this is a way less removed process that I want nothing to do with. The more removed I am from the process the more I hate my job, get burned out and genuinely wish that Anthropic never existed. Even if it could "just know" or infer my intent. It wouldnt be desirable. Edit: Oh yeah its Boris, hes one or the most disengenous shovel sellers on earth right now.
> But anthropic is the supply chain risk? OpenAI is bending over backwards to research and win those juicy government contracts to ensure their place as a strategic supplier worthy of protection and bailouts as needed. Seriously though, it would be interesting to learn how these ended up being targeted. Unfortunately there's lower odds of full public RCAs with governments.
The pen analogy doesn't help. Anthropic and similar services will restrict what you can use them for, and they'll change those rules at will. DoD understandably doesn't trust that if Anthropic is saying themselves they don't want their AI to be used for autonomous weapons.
> Pixels weren’t real in the CRT days :) True, but it gets more purely true if we add the word analog in front of CRT. While no CRT had pixels native to the display in the way LCD & LED monitors do, it's worth clarifying whether we're talking about the video signal's native traits or the display's. Most techies today were raised in a digital video world, so they learned to think of display output as being natively digital. Many struggle to fully wrap their heads around how a natively 'non-pixel' analog video signal is even a coherent concept. Often, they'll start by conceding "Sure, I get that in the 'old days', video output was converted into analog somewhere downstream before it 'hit glass', but raster image data in a digital computer was still 'born' as discrete pixels in a frame bu…
Downvoted for misinformation, likely out of ignorance, despite the reasonable argument made on top of it. Anthropic was not asking for the ability to review and block particular uses. Those are classified and wouldn’t even be running on Anthropic’s servers. They just wanted the government to promise not to use it for killing people without a human in the loop.
So planning is tied to the spec. This much is clear. What the author I think is hinting at is not planning alone but "the development and evolution of any program and the state of this program throughout the planning, elaboration, and eventual runtime". I chuckle at the thought that throwing an md file or a prompt at this problem is sufficient. So, I posit that if we want any agentic code to evolve meaningfully in the short future and over the long run, we have to have a system which holds and presents this information, the state of a program, in a coherent manner to a human operator. No other way. No other way. And this I say to both nay and yay sayers. You can argue also that this is part of an even bigger thing. But it is not part of the current discussion on planning and speccing in a…
>>>> a sandbox that a half skilled human operator could have broken out of easily >>> Are "half skilled human operators" "easily" able to find zero-day vulnerabilities in a sandbox >> Calling it zero day makes it sound elusive ... like 40 CVEs this year alone. > [The CVEs] came from openai or anthropic research? In fact, every CVE in the last 2 years came from the last few months I still don't understand how you can specifically point to zero CVEs being discovered by humans for year(s), then ~40 being discovered once OpenAI/Anthropic start looking at it, as the only(?) piece of data you provided to support the claim "a half skilled human" could have "easily" found/done this?
> Calling it zero day makes it sound elusive ... has like 40 CVEs this year alone. 1. I clicked into ~20 of the recent CVEs, and it looks like about all of them came from openai or anthropic research? 2. In fact, every CVE in the last 2 years came from the last few months -- i.e. other than these recent CVEs, you'd have go back more than 2 years ago to find a single other CVE.
Fair point, it does seem to be changing recently. It seems less religious and more practical than at Anthropic.
> You can agree with the rules anthropic wanted, but having rules set by a private company at all that apply to the military does seem fair for the military to object to. Oh the hypocrisy and irony. This coming from a country whose military sets rules on other countries' armed forces how weapons systems bought from US can be used.[ß] By this standard US itself should be designated as a supply chain risk for everyone else. ß: for a very long time in the Ukraine "conflict", US refused to allow their gear from being used to attack targets outside of Ukraine's borders.
Sure and sometimes that is what happens. Sometimes it's not. We should be doing a lot of things, but have to triage issues and act pragmatically. In the case of what I'm currently working on, filing bugs for every issue I found, and then factoring out each fix, and then running each change through the 8 hour ci/cd system, and hoping an unrelated issue doesn't get misattributed to me... No, I'd rather just wrap it up into one coherent refactoring change and be done with it because when I'm done there are several more like it waiting for my attention.
Yer, it’s probably best to face reality and understand that for actual software engineering / complex coding work - Anthropic models are way ahead of OpenAIs…
Incredible. TBH Anthropic was used for target selection in Iran and if Amodei oversold operational AI and was reason why US bled so many highend munitions... only for Iran to survive than basically everything downstream of the shit show including energy prices is on their heads.
> Do you think this is a good practice? For who? The more control you hand over to the AI and let it think for you with no supervision, the better it is for Anthropic
OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Moonshot.ai have all "had this happen" now. So, either they're all liars, or incompetent and negligent (and still liars).
I'm not an Anthropic model user, and the true frontier of the frontiers is beyond my budget. Maybe it's better in the rarefied atmosphere of Astra, Fable and Opus 5.5? But with GPT 5.6 Sol, I'm still finding that the model makes conceptual mistakes, or gets edge cases wrong, or assumes incorrectly (making an ass out of both user and model). In many cases, I need to at least refine the proposed approach, or amend, correct, or flat out just stop and start over. Not planning and catching these errors, and just letting the agents code their code, would mean I'd have to rollback and redo many times. What a waste! For a current project, which is ~33k lines of code, I'm also finding that I know the codebase better than the model, and that's vital at the planning stages too. If I wasn't in the pl…
Okay, so what relevancy does this thing, which anthropic didn't do, have to anything we are talking which right now is using Claude code in line with its terms of service?
So your argument is that the government is punishing Anthropic for its public statements? And it is correct to do so? (I think it's also the case that Anthropic didn't make any public statements about the negotiations until after the DoD was already publicly threatening this designation. But that seems less important than the question of: is it good for the US government to try to destroy companies whose public statements it dislikes?)
