> but do people blindly trust them

Judging from internet posts and HN comments, many do.



>Judging from internet posts and HN comments, many do.

Judging from the HN comments in the past on Bun's rewrite. I wouldn't even use the word "many". It was literally all Anti-AI comments and reckless engineering behaviour complain.


Then that's their own fault. Nothing to do with Anthropic, it could have been any other company putting out marketing material and people blindly trust them.


I don’t understand the distinction you’re trying to make.

Yes, “it could have been any other company”, but it wasn’t, it was this one. Had it been any other company, we’d be talking about that other company; because it was this one, we’re talking about this one.


My point is that the article starts with > Anthropic is actively campaigning to end software engineering

But that's true only if one believe what they are putting out blindly. Why not just call it a bluff and move on rather than making a mountain out of molehill


>that's true only if one believe what they are putting out blindly

That's true also if we see the impact their (and other frontier AI) tools have on employment and development practices.
