Finding issues is normal. But the bold claims they had on their website is what makes this a bust.

Right, when Rachael Gunn (Raygun) embarrassed Australia and the whole of breakdancing on the olympic stage, the nice thing to say would have been "congrats on getting this far, fixing the issues won't be easy, etc..." but what really should be said something like "I'm not sure how it got to this point, but everything about this is wrong, and you should probably focus on something else".

Previous attempts were strange, to say the least: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/pulls?q=is%3Apr+par...

Even the PR description reads like it has been generated by an LLM.

What a waste of CO₂.

Honestly best thing to do is to delete this and wipe out its existence and start a new project from scratch and rebuild the reputation for the company.

No one in their right mind will use this product ever.

I am wondering how this was allowed to be tested from a corporate strategy point of view of the company Orkes.

This is such a huge reputational hit, seems like a terrible outcome for a Series B company funded by big name VCs

What does this say about their main product?

> how this was allowed to be tested

I can see it happening if they genuinely had no idea of how defective / non-existent their internal QA & testing processes were.

Exactly, this is the takeaway. The agents are running everything, the humans have no idea what is going on.

You know how some people think that LLMs are magic? I assume that's more or less what happened here; the database was a result of prompting the finest LLMs, so how could it _not_ be perfect?

Yeah, wouldn't touch anything this company makes with a ten foot pole.

100% AI psychosis. They are all high on their own supply.

If anyone had any fucking clue they never would have engaged with Jepsen with the software in this state.

This company and everyone involved are going to have to legally change their names to have any shot at future trust.

It is a database for AGI bro. Sounds like you are not psychologically ready for the AI revolution in the age of AI.
