Only a short matter of time before agentic tools start serving ads too - paying user or not. You want to refactor your codebase ? No issue - taking 30 seconds - please view this ad meanwhile.
- nerdponx 11mo agoExtra convenient because people are already used to these things taking several seconds to respond.
- mmoll 11mo agoYou won’t just be viewing an ad, you will have to actively engage in a minute long sales talk with the LLM.
- placatedmayhem 11mo agoIn my head, it'll be like the high pressure timeshare sales pitches or the dreaded car sales transactions, where they pull out all the tricks to convince you to buy something you don't actually want or need, regardless of whether you can afford it.
- simianparrot 11mo ago“That’s a great point about your finances. But did you know this company offers credit to someone in your position for only this low interest? I can apply on your behalf if you just sign this statement”
- teeray 11mo ago“We’ll finish up your feature soon. In the meantime, have you considered a timeshare in Vegas?”
- jijijijij 11mo agoThe code will come out just fine, so your atrophied brain will remain dependent on OliCorp's parasocial prosthesis for strenuous thinking, dissolving wariness in experiences of super productivity. Then elsewhere, when plausible, OliCorp will progressively nudge you in some direction sold as predefined weight bonus to third party customers. You won't even notice and really, isn't it a fair price for all that productivity? Of course, AI isn't always right yet, but I'd say in a very practical 95% of cases your goals and expectations are in alignment with OliCorp AI. Don't forget, every website and service monetized automated access as a consequence of the AI scraping boom and made unauthorized web-indexing impossible, traditional search dried off. And when OliCorp finally turned off access to their legacy index monopoly in favor of AI interfacing, you really have no choice but to trust your friendly chat buddy. Who else are you gonna ask for the fix? Former friends, your family or neighbors? People you've grown to hate because sympathetic local clustering is discouraged through four color divisive information shaping. I mean, those guys really are at fault for your lack of self-efficacy, the hate is warranted. And you're too tired to bother anyway.
- elemdos 11mo agoMaybe that could result in a free tier? If the numbers work out
- tarruda 11mo agoOnly a matter of time before using coding agents with local LLMs is a viable alternative.

- yorwba 11mo ago"Join the Waitlist"
- edoceo 11mo agoMac only :(
- adam_patarino 11mo agoWe will have windows and Linux early next year! Just starting with Mac for first beta testers
- pimeys 11mo agoWhy it needs to work only on a Mac? And why is that better than running the gpt oss with llama.cpp and codex on my Linux box?
- adam_patarino 11mo agoOur model is bigger and more capable than gpt OSS and can run at full context at 40 tokens / s. We are rolling out to Mac to start with plans to release windows and Linux within 3 months.
- fxtentacle 11mo agoI’m quite happy with my offline AI solution: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45845049 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45845049
- xiphias2 11mo agoThey don't need to make us view ads anymore...just say ,,Allow Vercel to use credit card stored by OpenAI''...click to continue refactoring
- soared 11mo agoStripe already built this out and it’s in ChatGPT. Some merchants let you buy directly in the chat interface, and payment credentials are shared through the chat interface to the store (securely, etc)
- solumunus 11mo agoI highly doubt this one. These agents are pretty interchangeable, any one of them could decide to not show ads and steal huge market share. Programming is one of the few areas they can actually make gross margin, so ads would be a terrible business decision given the above. The ad revenue from it would be insignificant against the API calls / subscriptions.
- LastTrain 11mo agoIt’s worse than that. It will be more akin to ad placement in movies, except in this case it will slip this proprietary library into the suggested solution instead of that one. Or embed ads in the solution code.
- tcoff91 11mo agoI think getting a model to do this without hurting alignment significantly will be very difficult.
- sidrag22 11mo agoeh, maybe for the super vibey tools. I can't imagine anyone who wants to maintain the trust of devs would do this, they would so quickly pivot to something else, its not like the general public, where AI == chatgpt in their mind.
- soared 11mo agoGemini kind of already does this. I use builder in AI studio and it tends to use Gemini in places where other solutions make more sense. Last week I needed users to input their address, validate it, and geo code it. Rather than using google maps APIs (way cheaper, free tier) it used Gemini to do it.
- isodev 11mo agoWhy stop there? You want to refactor your codebase? Sure, but you need to adopt this dependency and this cloud service. Mixing Ads or sponsorships to influence LLMs is a really, really bad idea. Especially when they're competing with Search ... which means that for some, "AIs" are the only window into the world when looking something up.
- fn-mote 11mo ago> Sure, but you need to adopt this dependency and this cloud service. THIS. Asked to make an app using AWS? “I can do that, but have you considered the lower lifetime costs of using Azure? I can generate a configuration for AWS, Azure, or produce a price comparison table. Let me know which you prefer.”
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoAbsolutely no business with any real money is going to be swayed to use one cloud provider over the other based on one vibe coded app. There is so much other stuff that goes into why business make decisions about any large contract. I’m not in cloud sales. But I venture just close enough to the sun not to get burned
- marcosdumay 11mo agoThat's a nice, sane world that you live in. How can one get there? AFAIK, one wrong person getting an answer like the OP's is more than enough to force a medium sized (dozens of people) business to migrate.
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoHow many medium size migrations have you done? Its never that easy even if you are just hosting a bunch of VMs. Let alone if you are using any cloud specific services. I have been involved in a few on the periphery working in cloud consulting (first at AWS itself and now an outside company). I actively avoid the “lift and shifts”. I come in for the “modernize” portion. https://www.synatic.com/blog/lift-and-shift-vs-modernization https://www.synatic.com/blog/lift-and-shift-vs-modernization
- Eggpants 11mo agoIt will be like AdWords, pay to have specific token output replaced by your trademark. this_variable_is_sponsored_by_coinbase = 42 I’m just exaggerating … I hope.

- Ekaros 11mo agoHow soon will coding agents start injecting paid saas service calls in the code? And when in agentic mode, automatically sing up the coder to them?
