Here's some more greatest hits: https://clawd.rip - a whole site dedicated to them. Unfortunately the owner seems to have stopped updating it though.

I love that it's made with AI/LLM, maybe even claude itself. Even the site that lists the flaws of the system is made with that system. Simply shows me that people are not scared off by all those flaws.

Claude also has the highest number of apologists on here, so watch them come up with every possible explanation of why Claude can do no wrong. You can already see the top comment brush the issue off like it is nothing wrong.

> deterministic hooks not firing.

We went from building skyscrapers to building a house of cards.

using an imaginative tool to do a deterministic task is more idiotic than... i can't come up with a metaphor.

LLMs were meant to be the ministers, not the king.

Treating them like kings was our mistake in the first place. Give it another year, we're going to see a lot more blunders.

Both things true but not actually the same.

Or would you be fine with a deterministic king?

faidit | root | parent
Generally speaking, yes it would be preferable to a fickle or arbitrary king.

I’m honestly fascinated by how our profession is simultaneously having something of a crisis over all these arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities that keep getting found, and totally hype about explicitly granting the ability to execute arbitrary code and commands on our developer workstations over to an opaque third party service running on servers operated by companies that are now known to be unbelievably lax about cybersecurity.

i'm sure somebody will come up with a solution; the barrier has never been lower to reinvent the flat tire...
