> the smartest minds in the world

Dunning–Kruger is everywhere in the AI grift. People who don't know a field trying to deploy some AI bot that solves the easy 10% of the problem so it looks good on the surface and assumes that just throwing money (which mostly just buys hardware) will solve it.

They aren't "the smartest minds in the world". They are slick salesmen.

The other day someone referred to Claude Code as “the most complex terminal app” they’ve seen.

Meanwhile folks are rendering videos in the terminal.

  • And if you didn't know, Claude Code is actually based on React and they are struggling to keep it at 60 FPS, whatever that means in the context of a terminal app

    They are writing markup to render monospaced characters in a terminal lol
