"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's an interesting theory. I don't think it's right, particularly because the motives make zero sense, but it's interesting nonetheless. In the same way that 'lizard people are controlling humanity from subterranean bunkers', 'the Earth is flat' and 'birds aren't real' are all interesting theories.
Maybe I'm just missing the facts.... What closed source, proprietary software does Anthropic have for sale, that there is an open source alternative for?
I don’t think it’s a coherent goal of torpedoing a direct competitor but the way the sloppers seem to do things is a lot of “just trust me bro, use AI for everything”. No actual thought given to anything, especially guidance in how to go about using it.
In that regard, any decently-engineered software is competition to them. And therefore “break everything so LLMs are the only tool” seems to be the strategy they’ve chosen.
The other less-malicious possibility is that they use those tools and want to submit patches, but of course they’re eating their own dog shit so no one wants it. So they try to hide it.
Proprietary software developers are sabotaging their open source competition, why doesn't that make sense to you?
