@chris__martin haha very good point. I just see a lot people talk about their use of Claude as though it is some benevolent tool to _help_ them.

@cursedsql Yes, this is true too. That's should be the goal of most people/organizations.

The industry capture of these companies is ridiculous and seeing a future where there are alternatives to the rent-seeking tech landlords is becoming harder and harder to see.

I feel like people who are using LLMs for their work are not considering the motives and impact of the corporations hosting and serving the model. The goal isn't to make you a better developer, or even a more productive developer, its to make you dependent on their service and start driving up the rents to access it.

The goal is to extract your time, your money, and your knowledge feeding these models your plans for the work you want to achieve. They are not benevolent.

@jaywilson1988 dang what a blast from the past!
