I read that at first, it says, "Clawed.ai unbelievable." And I thought, "It is, it's a liar."

You're going to crash the server.

Wow — I'm user 404!

I'm user angry unicorn... :}

It was going to crash, anyway.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing, kind of an unfortunate name. Why? It makes you think of a DILD*. Then you have to remind yourself, they probably mean armadillo.

Yeah, it's funny. I would expect to see more enthusiasm versus just basic run-of-the-mill, "oh, there it is". Leave it to the HN crowd. This is incredible. I don't even like OpenAI.

LLMs make for great day 1 demos, but in a few weeks I promise you many people will be able to tell nearly all of the images generated by this are AI. It just takes time and exposure to figure out the new common flaws.

Frankly, I am not sure if they will ever actually be able to solve this problem or if it'll be a continuous game of whackamole, but regardless there's a large crowd of people out there where if they can tell something is AI generated they will not support the company behind it. Being able to tell anything is AI generate cheapens brands.

You're thinking is like everyone else's, and it's backwards. The world will learn to accept it as the standard way of doing things and people will appreciate one generation over another and look at manual image creation as a niche activity like blacksmithing vs assembly-line manufacturing and automation. With the latter, you appreciate the intent and the end result. Same thing here, people are just adjusting to it.

HN is engineer heavy so its a bunch of people who spend their days looking at code. If it's not a coding model they'll likely never use it.

To the average HN'er, images and design are superfluous aesthetic decoration for normies.

And for those on HN who do care about aesthetics, they're using Midjourney, which blows any GPT/Gemini model out of the water when it comes to taste even if it doesn't follow your prompt very well.

The examples given on this landing page are stock image-esque trash outside of the improvements in visual text generation.

Exactly. God, it wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't gaslight you and act like it was nothing. Just put up a banner that says Claude is experiencing overloaded capacity right now, so your responses might be whatever.

Are you saying that Claude will help you perform malicious attack against infrastructure if you ask it to and that anthropic should be able to stop that? I could see reasonable use cases for this like penetration testing against your own infrastructure. That’s not the same as making weapons or meth.

Sounds like OpenAI trying to control another narrative.

That's what happens when you're so untrustworthy as Sam Altman. This is coming to roost now. Ever since Paul Graham even said he'll get whatever he wants by any means necessary, basically. And then his board turns on him.

He's a constant liar.

I wish being untrustworthy and being unsuccessful were linked in this way, but sadly they are not.

Altman's untrustworthiness goes all the way back to Loopt and Paul Graham's comments about him were meant as praise, not criticism.

OpenAI's problem is that in addition to Altman being untrustworthy he has also just been flailing in terms of focus.

> ...just been flailing...

Brains fried post late-00s to 10s endless ZIRP waterfall helping them fail up. Not used to reality where everything they touch does not turn to gold.

Something I don't quite understand is why software developers are flocking to CC - product of a company whose CEO literally said they will be out of job because of it.

I am a software developer that believes LLMs will ruin the market for us in terms of destroying a lot (not all, but more than enough to be devestating) jobs and depressing wages, but I still have no real option but to use them to remain relevant for now.

That said, I dont have a horse in the race and have used all the available options and find it very easy to switch among them, so I'm not a specific booster of Claude Code or any other option.

Because whether I use it or not doesn’t affect the fact that it’s going to take my job. It’s still the easiest way to get things done today.

That's like asking why people who shovel shit all day started using backhoes to do their shit shoveling

ostrich, meet sand. I mean, have you tried CC? It's fun to build stuff with it. I think developers that don't use it (or something like it) will be out of a job, yes (unless they're very niche).

Like Jensen Huang said the job of an engineer is to solve problems not writing code. The code is a means to an end. This is certainly true for me as an engineer and why I'm not worried about AI.

If he's right they'll be out of job regardless whether it's because of Claude or another AI.

Because fear sells easily to those who do not know the future.

Dario constantly fearmongers to them and 98% of software developers all fall for it, and he needs to sell you access to his product.

The future is local LLMs and Dario knows this is their main threat. Just as Cursor, they don't want to pay for Claude anymore and are going with local models.

It’s just because ChatGPT is worse than Claude as of today. If that flipped, which is probably will at some point, if only temporarily, OpenAI will be back on top. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with Altman’s morals.

People don't know who Dario is yet.

Sam looks like a used car sales man. Dario looks like he'd hand out coolaid at Jonestown.

What are you actually claiming? Your take on their looks is irrelevant, and I don't know if you're hinting at anything specific when you say "People don't know who Dario is yet".

Death

That's what I call a feature wishlist.

Not millions. Many many billions. (not on virtual events, but on the platform itself--that's the crazy part)
