There's a very big difference between building onto an existing system and rewriting from the ground up. I'm not opposed to making progress and trying things differently, but saying things like "we need to completely rethink

One of the most seductive (and destructive) forces in software is the desire to rewrite from scratch because rewrites never, ever, ever go as planned. With AI, we're now thinking it's a good idea to rewrite the entire platform fro

FWIW, iHeart Radio probably manages his ad runs. He likely has no say over which ads get run on his show, and as I understand, the podcast advertising market has slowed tremendously in 2026. Podcasting platforms can't be as picky as th

It's a few hundred bucks per month for now, but that's not going to last. At some point, the industry is going to pivot towards tracking token-based productivity because it's not going to be cheap forever unless FOSS models c

They may be for now. Problem is that when foundation model pricing goes up, you're paying not just the increase in tokens you consume directly, but also for all tokens you're consuming via vendors as well. If your company has Figm

This is right. Both I and my non-technical brother can ask Claude to generate a rough draft of a complex data model, but only I can assess the output and make sure it solves the problems that I need it to solve for. Saves me a ton of upfron

I completely agree. Fundamentally, prohibition showed that legislating morality ultimately fails. As immoral as mobile gambling is (and I firmly believe it is), people are going to do it. And when you start coming up with top-down technolog

The fundamental problem with these frontier model companies is that they're incentivized to create models that burn through more tokens, full stop. It's a tale as old as capitalism: you wake up every day and choose to deliver more

100% this. We've seen enough model releases at this point to know that there hasn't been a single model rollout making bold claims about its capability that wasn't met with criticism after release. The fact that Anthropic pro

You also have to look at how exposed your vendors are to cost increases as well. Your company may have the resources to effectively shift to cheaper models without service degradation, but your AI tooling vendors might not. If you pay for 5

You're confusing collusion with being informed. The concept of market rationality is based on the premise that all participants in said market more or less have access to the same information. Fools can choose to not be informed before
