I'm not fan of Anthropic, but to be fair, every major model release makes it to the main page. In the case of a model like this, hyped and with a jump in capabilities, it doesn't need astroturfing.
replyWell to be fair, it that hype and that "jump in capabilities" (that I don't see) might be astroturfed? You ever think that all that hype isn't organic?
replyNo, but I think it's real in this case. Claude models have always been superb, I can definitely see another improvement in capabilities. Price is outrageous, though.
replyIt's the real deal. Before Fable nothing I tried worked. It has finally helped me finish my teleportation device. I can't show you or anyone the proof but trust me it's true.
replyYes, this is also my feeling.
replyIt happens for every single Anthropic release. Then I try it on real dev and the result is laughably bad. Except in design where it has been doing a decent job for a while. I am not a designer and my bar is pretty low.
In frontend sonnet and opus take more than 5 $ per query to fix any problem
replySo unless you have unlimited tokens it's better to learn frontend
Corporations have done worse for much less money involved. Now we have trillion dollar companies going IPO. With so much at stake, it’s not unthinkable that there’s astroturfing happening.
replyWouldn’t be surprised if there are marketing teams writing positive comments for more positive engagement
replyMarketing teams entirely composed of Claude models, of course
replyI’m convinced that’s the case, this place looked totally different around 4 years ago
replyYou're right to point that out! Most people did not think of this but you did -- and that's a rare skill to have.
replyI see a lot of negative comments right now surprisingly.
replyYeah, this whole post is a GIANT AD.
replyI don't think it's weird that the post made it to the front page, but watching the downvotes roll in on my own mildly critical comment has been intriguing. I saw it go up to +2, down to 0, up to +3, and now it's on +1.
replyNow if only they had some technology that was really good at generating authentic-looking comments they could use to spam praise all over the internet...
replyWhere do you see them exactly? The comments are pretty much in line with how the model performs IRL.
replyTheres several comments that sound like „I“ve had this REALLY DIFFICULT problem (no specification whatsoever) and threw Fable on it and it solved it immediately, additionaly it cured aids and found a solution to world hunger“…
replyThis is… not at all the case. Most observations on pricing, some on specific projects, some on speculation about Anthropic and many about the model getting nerfed.
replyIt is the case.
replyI think you can't read because half the posts are about the nerfing and price.
replyThe early posts were largely AstroTurfs.
replyThen people started realizing we're getting literally rage-baited by Fable 5 and started posting their criticisms.
Both can be true at once.
to be fair, the top comment from simonw is most likely legit unless anthropic hacked his account too
