Yeah, that makes sense. If people don't see uses for AI, they shouldn't use it. But going out of the way to imply that people who use AI cannot think is pretty stupid in itself imo. I am not sure how to put this, but maybe to cont

I don't really like the assumption that anyone who uses AI to, say, write an essay, is not the "kind of person who can think." And using AI to replace things you find recreational is not the point. If you got paid $100 each t

People can absolutely build radical things after learning or being assisted by LLMs. But that's not the meta they're selling. What they are selling with vibe-coding is that you can let the AI build things and don't even n

If you don't know anything about AI in terms of how these models are run, comfyui's macos version is probably the easiset to use. There is already a Z-Image workflow that you can get and comfyui will get all the models you need an

yeah there is no incentive to do a CDN in house, esp for businesses that are not tech-oriented. And the costs of the occasional outage has not really been higher than the cost of doing it in-house. And I'm sure other CDNs gets outages

Please read the article. When it says it'll burn $x on $x revenue, it means the burn is not expenses but the net loss. Here is another article that says the same thing: https://fortune.com/2025/11/12/open

I guess you're right, but it's more of a curve, though. Once you get to any decent level of complexity, it actually helps to have a framework instead of just going all HTML+CSS. Also it helps having something standard as react (th

Interesting. From my experience, Claude is much better at stuff involving frontend design somehow compared to other models (GPT is pretty bad). Gemini is also good but often the "thinking" mode just adds stuff to my code that I di

It's Anthropic, not Microsoft. They already had a runway of 4 years, and honestly, that is preferable to hitching their wagon to a volatile startup like Antropic.

Yeah but my point was it's pretty clear which Copilot the article was talking about and pretending like it could be anything beacuse "everything's copilot" is a L take sorry.

by altmanaltman 11mo ago
It doesn't make a lot of sense that they'll compare Microsoft 365 Copilot with Claude Code, though? Like it is a legit CLI tool but we should ignore it because it shares the name with something else?

Yeah, I do understand your point of view. I'm just doubting if it applies universally, like you may superimpose that assumption on the thinking caveman, but is the thinking caveman really doing the same? Yes, technique is one thing, bu

I get the argument you're making but that's a bit like saying cavemen used to do calculus as they hunt, which is a valid way of looking at this maybe but they didn't really "use calculus" just intuition. Simillarly,

Except they don't really "think" and they are not conscious. Expecting your toaster or car to never rise up against you is a good strategy. AI models have more in common with a toaster than with a human being. Which is why th
