Investment is debt lol. Maybe you can make the argument that you're increasing the equity value but you do have to eventually prove you're able to make money right? Maybe you don't, this system is pretty messed up after all.

Usually the snarky guys have precious little useful to say in the service of having any understanding of civics or its processes.

Well they're not improving that much anymore. That's why Sam Altman is out there saying it's a bubble.

Leakiest abstraction of all time.

OpenAI and Anthropic are practically subsidiaries of Microsoft and Amazon. Neither would exist without billions in cloud compute credits from their corporate benefactors. Competing in Generative AI requires the kind of resources that are on

I wonder if the popularity of a language that is dynamically typed, interpreted, and incapable of using OS features like threads has wasted more money than its proponents claim to have saved in so called development time. Languages like Go

Unless you're using a model that was built for pixel art, you will never get a usable piece of pixel art out of a model using a diffusion based image generator because it does not understand what a pixel is. You'll always get pixe

Generative AI is not a search engine.

Yeah it's weird that people who agree with each other don't distance themselves from each other.

I for one am shocked that the man responsible for one of the more visible apparatus for neoliberal capital allocation, one responsible for such luminaries as doordash, with which you can rent a poor person to bring you treats, has some shit

It's all well and good to deny that this group represents SV, but I do think they're more representative of the leadership class than most would like to admit. They were among the first people to call out that layoffs were coming.

It's the opposite. The more I learn about the financial state of these companies the worse my opinion gets.

LinkedIn is a great place to talk to recruiters still. If you're not picky about where you work, you can find a job pretty fast by working with recruiters directly and skipping the cold apply.

I stand corrected. It's still a funny bit of marketing.

It's kind of an ingenious way to weed out people who are engaging in bad faith. Like if you're choosing not to use a very useful piece of software because of some aesthetic sensibility, maybe I want to be able to identify you more

Anubis is funny because I think it's in the license that you have to keep the mascot. If you want to remove it you have to pay them.

Not true. The people who are screwed right now are juniors. There's still a lot of hiring happening for traditional development.
