Same, 1400s are difficult, but 1500s is at least understandable.

Should be easy, considering they don’t exist to begin with.

The problem is that we’ve had a culture of people who don’t know things very well control the purse strings relevant to those things.

I mean that has been the case for a long time, AI may enhance the effect of it, but human stupidity is nothing new.

So we have executives who don’t know their work or customers at all and just try to bullshit while their people frantically try to repair the damage the executive does to preserve their jobs. Then they see bullshit generating platforms and see a kindred spirit, and set a goal of replacing those dumb employees with a more “executive” like entity that also can generate reports and code directly. No talking back, no explaining that the request needs clarification, that the data doesn’t support their decision, just a “yes, and…” result agreeing with whatever dumbass request they thought would be correct and simple.

Once again, yes men have also been a historic phenomenon, and yes AI might speed this up, but it is nothing new per se.

Ai is a tool, not a perfect one, heck most of the time, barely functional, but it is a tool and in order to use it, you need to understand what it can do, and what it can’t do.

I think if you’re aware of the environmental impact, learn how to use it responsibly and avoid many of it pitfalls, together with a critical mindset, it can be usable for some cases.

Thanks for the chuckle

My own advise for people starting to use AI is to use it for things you know very well. Using it for things you do not know well, will always be problematic.

I would love to be able to cry, but my medicine (ssri) make it impossible.

His setup is, in his own words, “surprisingly vanilla.”

…

Boris runs 5 Claude Code instances in his terminal simultaneously, each in its own git checkout. He numbers his tabs 1-5 and uses iTerm2 system notifications so he knows when any session needs input.

He also runs 5-10 more sessions on claude.ai/code in the browser, hands work between local and web sessions using the & command or --teleport flag, and kicks off sessions from his phone via the Claude iOS app.

I’m not sure I’d call that workflow vanilla.

I do however appreciate efforts and workflows to reduce errors and logical faults in the output.

Yup, welcome to AInflation
