claude performs acceptably at repetitive tasks when I have an existing pattern for it to follow. “Replicate PR 123, but to add support for object Bar instead of Foo”. If I get some of this busy work in my queue I typically just have claude do it while I’m in a meeting.

I’d never let it do refactors or design work, but as a code generation tool that can use existing code as a template, it’s useful. I wouldn’t pay an arm and a leg for it, but burning $2 while I’m in a meeting to kill chore tasks is worth it to me.

Seconded!

C-2 has already been retracted, and the warrantless queries for service provider records won’t be making a come back in the next iteration apparently.

Minority governments are great.

Of course it is, LLMs are inherently regurgitation machines - train on biased data, make biased predictions.
