"I only got it to proof of concept.... I'm sure with time"
this is AI psychosis. LLMs by design product plausible output -- it ALWAYS seems like you just need a little more time. That's why the junkies are up all night playing with these things, and yet the next industrial revolution has NOT arrived. if this is the singularity where is my clothes folding bot, my cold fusion, and my cure for all cancers?
Please do not post about things the bot almost did. Nobody cares. When you COMPLETE something with the bot you can post. The rest is delusions.
The proof of concept works. You can use aac audio in resolve on Linux. It hasn’t been polished or productised, but it’s demonstrably working. If I got to this point on my own, I’d be very satisfied that I could finish the job.
That would be a justifiable inference in that case. But you didn't get to this point on your own. You haven't learned the knowledge you would have learned getting to this point on your own. Claude didn't either; generally speaking, it doesn't learn. So it may be misleading to reason by analogy to the counterfactual where you had gotten to this point on your own. Claude may or may not be able to finish the job. You won't know until you try.

Yes, it’s weak evidence. Not proof. That is why I was quite explicit about what it has and hasn’t accomplished.
In my time with it, Claude seems fine at finishing up projects. And I’ve done enough reverse engineering to have a reasonably firm understanding of the outstanding work. I predict that Claude will have no problem finishing this up with some more guidance and tokens. You can of course have your own opinion, but I think it’s a bit much to claim I’m suffering from ai psychosis for having this expectation of its capabilities.

This is an extremely limited mindset. Reminds me of idiots linking to “ask smart questions” which does more to stifle conversation and education than anything else.
Most big tech use LLMs to write most if not all of their code in current year. I have many negative things to say about it but if you think LLMs with a good harness can’t make anything that works you’re plain wrong. We’re shipping AI authored code to prod every day and it does the thing. Or maybe the psychosis goes so deep I’m just imagining all this and I’m actually unemployed
This isn’t “AI psychosis”. Stop this. Stop corrupting the definition of “psychosis” by pretending that “AI psychosis” can just be used as a descriptor for anyone that thinks that an LLM can do a thing that you don’t think it can. Any use of the term “AI psychosis” in all but the strictest sense is a huge red flag that someone’s objection is based on philosophical or political grounds, and your objection is a textbook example of that.
