I really despise how Claude's creators and users are turning the definition of "skill" from "the ability to use [learned] knowledge to enhance execution" into "a blurb of text that [usefully] constrains a next-token-predictor".

I guess, if you squint, it's akin to how biologists will talk about species "evolving to fit a niche" amongst themselves or how physicists will talk about nature "abhorring a vacuum". At least they aren't talking about a fucking product that benefits from hype to get sold.

    I can't help but get secondhand embarrassment whenever I see someone unironically call themselves a "prompt engineer". 🤮

    Isn't this a thing that authoritarians do. They co-opt language. It's the same thing conservatives do. The venn diagram of tech bros and the far right is too close to being a circle.

    You can pretty put any word out of the dictionary into a search engine and the first results are some tech company that took the word either as their company name or redefined it into some buzzword.
