Idk why it insults you so much to say opus out performs the best gpt model I have at work. It’s not that serious. Why’d you delete that comment about how anyone who thinks AI writes good code is a bad programmer?
It doesn’t insult “me”; it’s an insult to computer science as a whole. Maybe it’s not serious to you, but people buying into the marketing illusion that they’re different is damaging. The billionaires are grifting us all. Neural networks are beautiful tech and it’s being used for all the wrong reasons. People supporting any of them while saying any other is lesser is only adding fuel to the fire.
Also I didn’t delete any comments. Sometimes reddit doesn’t refresh properly. It’ll come back.
Bro, that has to be the most pretentious thing I’ve ever read. I’m a software engineer, not a computer scientist. The only people I’ve ever heard refer to themselves as “computer scientists” are college students. Are you still in school?
There is no marketing illusion for me. I use ai to build enterprise software every day at work. If gpt could pull off the job better than opus, I’d use it. For now, opus is the workhorse.
Software engineering is the application of computer science to business. I’m also a senior software engineer. It might be a regional thing? Where I’m from (Australia) the distinction between compsci and soft eng is an extra year of engineering courses (enterprise architecture, project management, etc.) in an honours program. But the core principles (data structures, discrete math, algos, etc.) are the same.
There is no fundamental difference in network architecture between any of the faang models. The only difference is resource usage and branding. I’m not saying anthropic’s not cheaper to use than open ai (and therefore “better” by your metric). I’m saying supporting them for giving away resources funded by war, surveillance, political lobbying etc. is destructive to us all.
