I called this out when I saw Claude Code CLI source code reach for regex on a certain task a while back and got told it was very unlikely that nobody reviewed the diff. Looks like the bar was lower than imagined.
They’re idiots who hacked together a shockingly useful tool by leveraging the billions of dollars they received from shamelessly hyping up chatbots. The Claude Code leak makes this very clear.
replyPretty wild to say that the company with one of the best models (arguably the best) is a bunch of idiots.
replyThe people working on the models almost certainly aren't the same people writing the code for their harness.

replyIt would be pretty wild if they didn't considering all the money thrown at them!
You're looking at one of the largest investments business (as a collective) has ever made. They had better be one of the forerunners in the space :-/
And you think with all of this money they are employing idiots?
replyThey're completely vibe-coding one of their flagship products. It's not unreasonable to consider that the people who took that decision are, indeed, idiots.
replyEven idiots can succeed if you uncritically funnel them hundreds of billions of dollars.
replyYou can't just burn money in a pit to get the best AI model out. Undoubtedly some of the smartest people in the world are working on frontier AI.
