thierrydamiba··on You'll need nerves of steel to work with AI agents
For me I’d trust Luna to do anything I would a high school student but once we get to college I lose faith.
thierrydamiba··on Anthropic's growth just flattened
The answer is ~5 million in case you’re curious how much the penny is worth after 30 days of doubling.

~5 quadrillion after 60

thierrydamiba··on Our position on open-weights models
“Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models.

Open-weights models that don’t have dangerous capabilities are a public good…”

A bit confused on this part, what model doesn’t have dangerous capabilities?

thierrydamiba··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
Awesome story, thanks for sharing!

Or you’re getting steered into la la land because of your prompt
thierrydamiba··on The classifiers Anthropic puts in front of Fable are too zealous
Have they ever talked about what goes into the classifier? I wonder how much your past chats impact it.

For example if it knows you do X at Y company is it more or less strict?

Is the harness more valuable than the weights?
thierrydamiba··on More Molly Guards
Awesome article! Love the way you went from physically to digital.
thierrydamiba··on Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?
There’s also the uncomfortable reality that a lot of people spent a lot of time learning how to do things that anyone can prompt now…

We tend to ignore that reality but it hangs above all these discussions like a dirty cloud

thierrydamiba··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
Did your son behave in a way for that to be installed or did you do it by default?
thierrydamiba··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
People will pay out of the nose for software if they find it useful enough.
thierrydamiba··on The dead economy theory
I’m not sure this is so true. Anthropic and OpenAI are both heavily hiring for humans in enterprise roles. Safe to say they are using AI as much as possible and they need humans too.
thierrydamiba··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
Can you be more specific?
thierrydamiba··on Mexican government breached by solo user with Claude, 150 GB exfiltrated
The scary thing for me is most of the vulnerabilities have been revealed due to silly mistakes.

If someone really knew what they were doing and had bad intentions, I fear we would never find out.

This story deserves a movie, or at least a long video essay!

Haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.

This is as close as you get to a win win in life.
thierrydamiba··on A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro
Shoutout to you-I will match it if they need other resources. (I don’t work at OAI, just think this is cool)

Is your stack really that rough?
thierrydamiba··on Magic: The Gathering took me from N2 to Japanese fluency
Recommend everyone take this test: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/03/09/business/ai-w...

You might be surprised…or you might not. I’ve found it’s a good barometer for whether you actually don’t like AI writing or you just don’t like bad AI writing.

They basically bought OpenClaw right?
thierrydamiba··on Jujutsu megamerges for fun and profit
Something really magical about “Distributed Version Control System” sharing an acronym with “Disney Vacation Club Services”.

What’s different about the market in China that enables this?
thierrydamiba··on My minute-by-minute response to the LiteLLM malware attack
Isn’t this a great use of llms?

Clone the repo in a sandbox and have the llm identify if the issues are real and the appropriate response based on severity level.

Wouldn’t be perfect but would have caught something like this.

Same reason people get scared to fly but drive everyday. Humans are simultaneously wildly irrational and terrible at calculating risk.
thierrydamiba··on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Defends Pentagon Work to Staff
This thread is simultaneously horrifying and hilarious at the same time.

Hilarious because onesociety2022 seems so earnest. Someone who is shocked at the idea that job search isn’t a pure meritocracy.

Horrifying because kuang_eleven points out just how easy it is to pass a qualified candidate if you want to.

The truth is somewhere in the middle…

I don’t understand this comment?

I’m guessing you’re suggesting it’s ok to lose time if you’re away from your computer enjoying life, and I agree. I also don’t see the issue in finding ways to be save time with work.

If you mean something different, please elaborate.

thierrydamiba··on Pi – A minimal terminal coding harness
I actually look at this another way. I think we’re going to see a lot more open source. Before you had to get your pr merged into main. Now people will just ask ai to build the tool they need and then open source it.

Maintainers won’t have to deal with an endless stream of PRs. Now people will just clone your library the second it has traction and make it perfect for their specific use case.

Cherry pick the best features and build something perfect for them. They’ll be able to do things your product can’t, and individual users will probably find a better fit in these spinoffs than in the original app.

On the other hand, you lose a lot of time if you step away from a session and it gets stuck asking for permission to do something simple.
thierrydamiba··on How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week
Can you talk more about this? What’s wrong with cloudflare pages plus Nextjs? Why do you need Astro?

Thanks

thierrydamiba··on AI is destroying open source, and it's not even good yet
No I don’t think it’s a bad thing!

I’m just predicting what will happen. I think it’s a really good thing.
