Phil Freo(@philfreo):Everyone’s been complaining about Claude-speak in the last couple months but can I just point out that I think it’s actually been changing engineers own vocabulary? I’ve heard more (verifiably human) engineers non-ironically say “gate” and “byte-identical” and “load-bearing” in the last month than in the many years before. AI evolving real language. Maybe that’s what they meant by “language model” all along.
