| Same as anything else. It’ll go down sometimes, people will take a break and chat, then it will come back up. Like Slack or GitHub or AWS or whatever. It’s almost always a net positive to wait vs do it yourself. |

| I think the scenario was more of, if really everyone depends on claude, then better nothing critical(medical software, aviation, traffic controll ..) breaks while claude is offline. |

| ▲ | andrewl-hn 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | At least some of the projects in these industries now specify strict no-AI-use policies in contracts. I participate in a few of these, and it’s becoming a bit of a pain, because all dev tool vendors insist on adding AI features, and if there’s no way to turn them off completely we have to migrate away. However, the temptation of productivity gains are strong, and few of the customers look into relaxing these rules. | |

| I'm more scared at everyone outsourcing their thinking to a private, for-profit company. What could possibly go wrong. |

"AI" is the ultimate sleeper agent. | | |
| ▲ | nz an hour ago | parent [-] | | I have been saying things to this effect for a few years now, and have literally been laughed at. I feel like that guy that suggested that doctors should wash their hands before operating on patients -- they laughed at him too, before they put him in an asylum. What's going to happen, is that everyone who realizes that these policies are a mistake, is going to quietly retcon their own role in that mistake, while scapegoating everyone that they don't like. Also, would bet money that the derived data from the meeting-summarizers is being sold to hedge-funds, to give them a bit of an edge. | | |

And if it isn't already, you can be that they're probably to start. All those "difficult to program but easy-if-time-consuming-for-human" tasks, will 1000% be farmed out to models at unprecedented scales. |
