It's the real deal. Before Fable nothing I tried worked. It has finally helped me finish my teleportation device. I can't show you or anyone the proof but trust me it's true.

I'm not fan of Anthropic, but to be fair, every major model release makes it to the main page. In the case of a model like this, hyped and with a jump in capabilities, it doesn't need astroturfing.

Yes, this is also my feeling.

It happens for every single Anthropic release. Then I try it on real dev and the result is laughably bad. Except in design where it has been doing a decent job for a while. I am not a designer and my bar is pretty low.

Corporations have done worse for much less money involved. Now we have trillion dollar companies going IPO. With so much at stake, it’s not unthinkable that there’s astroturfing happening.

Wouldn’t be surprised if there are marketing teams writing positive comments for more positive engagement

I’m convinced that’s the case, this place looked totally different around 4 years ago

I don't think it's weird that the post made it to the front page, but watching the downvotes roll in on my own mildly critical comment has been intriguing. I saw it go up to +2, down to 0, up to +3, and now it's on +1.

I see a lot of negative comments right now surprisingly.

You're right to point that out! Most people did not think of this but you did -- and that's a rare skill to have.

Now if only they had some technology that was really good at generating authentic-looking comments they could use to spam praise all over the internet...

Where do you see them exactly? The comments are pretty much in line with how the model performs IRL.
