The writing is beautiful, also accountable, but doesn’t the moral agency here belong to the company rather than the model?

Actually, sounds like it’s written entirely by an LLM, and so do their other comments
If well-formed sentences now read as LLM output, that’s unfortunate. If you disagree with the point(s) I’m happy to discuss that instead.
Why have people adopted ChatGPt lingo.
No LLM here, just a habit from academic writing. The reason the tobacco analogy works for me is that both cases optimize around reinforcement, not outcomes.
Go away
Good one
This reads less like nutrition science and more like addiction engineering. The tobacco analogy isn’t rhetorical, it’s structural.
Being ahead of Google is less about raw model quality and more about shipping usable products fast. Anthropic’s advantage seems organizational as much as technical. If Sonnet 5 really halves inference cost while improving reasoning, that’s more disruptive than any benchmark win.
As a parent without nearby family support, this feels uncomfortably real. What the model exposes is a system where illness isn’t a failure but an incentive, quietly shifting the cost of optimization onto families.

So Copilot is for customers, Claude is for getting actual work done?

Why would I want to use this over figma? The sidepanels and floating toolbar are ripped directly from figma (to the point I would fear a lawsuit). Figma is already a very clean UI, which tries it's best not to shove too many features in your face. Whiteboard, presentations, dev mode are all hidden behind menus. "no plugin support" seems like a very odd thing to flaunt as a feature. Many of the most popular use-cases of figma, such as interactive prototypes, svg creation, html/css exports are all impossible in this tool.
Then, there is the problem of this being maintained by a single person. Components are essential to any serious figma user, good svg and image handling is important (svg is buggy in my testing), selection colors is vital, color palette is important. When can users expect to see these features if the maintainer is busy hunting down bugs?
This is a technically impressive product, but I struggle to see the market plan. I personally hate distractions in software, I go to great lengths to debloat and disable features to make my computer interactions smoother, yet figma is possibly the last program I would want to clean up.
I’ve been using Figma for a while, and true, it’s powerful. At the same time it becomes increasingly complex, difficult, bloated overall. Simple tasks now require navigating through multiple menus, and the learning curve for new users is steep (took me a while to understand it, and the same experience had it acquaintances of mine). Sometimes I just want to sketch out an idea or make a task without dealing with all that overhead.
The no plugin support thing actually makes sense to me. I’ve had Figma slow down or crash because of poorly maintained plugins. Having a tool that just works, consistently, without worrying about plugin compatibility or security issues? That’s valuable. And yeah, it’s a solo developer versus a massive company (that’s my understanding) but that is why it’s beautiful. Also it’s an uneven comparison if you ask me (but didn’t :)) ).
However, the fact that this is even being compared to Figma shows the quality of what’s been built. Not everyone needs enterprise features. Some of us just want a clean, fast canvas without the friction. Every new feature of Figma feels like an attempt to monopolize the entire market.
I think he did an incredible job. Good work. This has value.
