It's going well in terms of being a valuable tool. It's not going well from an economic point of view. There's going to be winners and losers in this bubble. Things will settle and it will be commonplace technology in the future. Not going anywhere. It's just over hyped right now.
Then you consider the massive spend in data centers, the ram shortage, etc. The writing is on the wall.
Get tested. Get it treated. It could change your life. No joke. It's not a big deal. I know there's a stigma, but really, it's not a big deal. 15%+ of the population has it. Just go get it checked out. Promise.
Here's one thing I'm a little nervous about, because it doesn't make sense to cut off distribution channels.
Anthropic should be profitable from the inference alone. That's their product...but they (like others) aren't.
This makes some sense now why they want to control usage/distribution. I bet they have a very good chunk of subscribers to Claude Code who aren't using their credits. So they probably don't have any chance at being profitable without this. Not a great place to be.
Claude Code isn't a good as the other tools. The models are the attractive part about Anthropic. I love Opus 4.5, but won't ever use it with Claude Code. Ok... never is strong...I won't use it any time soon. It has a long ways to go. Might get there, we'll see.
I don't know, we hired a junior developer and are about to hire another. Not sure it collapsed. I just think it's really hard to get a job across the board right now.
They are getting worse. I don't know why but people keep tweaking and touching them and probably maybe I think it's that they want to make them work for a ton of different models and tools. There's some I use I wish I could just revert to an earlier version.
