This feels like a desperate attempt to stay relevant in a post-LLM world. They’re basically wrapping an LLM in a "professional" skin and calling it an expert review. The problem is that once you start letting an AI "expert&qu

Sam really fumbled the top position in a matter of months, and spectacularly so. Wow. It appears that people are much more excited by Anthropic and Google releases, and there are good reasons for that which were absolutely avoidable.

Not sure WTF I read here. Just more vibe coded "products" and "blogs", as it seems. This "padded room" architecture fails because isolating the host OS does nothing to protect the user's data; if the agent

While that might take it a little too far, Lex surely is a dangerous individual. On various occasions did he sympathize with the war and terror that Russia is doing in Ukraine. I do not click on any of his content because I will not support

So how many more LLM-generated "products" do we need to see here? This is inconsistent, with contradictory information, partly blatantly wrong and overall horrible from start to finish.

You might as well ask an accountant why he/she uses a calculator. I really don't think you're asking the right questions here. These questions will lead to obvious answers that you don't need to interview people for.

Consulting has weak margins compared to SaaS and scales poorly. Providing the interface for companies to spin up their own consultants (=Agents like Claude Code) is a superior business model in every dimension.

Can you point me to a human written program an LLM cannot write? And no, just answering with a massively large codebase does not count because this issue is temporary. Some people just hate progress.

Not an Apple fan at all, but damn, in the views of some of the HN community, one can only do wrong. Pathetic.

More often than not, things don't turn out too well if engineers decide what to build without tight steering from customers and/or upper management. This is exactly what it sounds like here. Tech for the purpose of tech. I underst

Nice catch. Looks like engineers tried to take care of the GTM part as well and (surprise!) messed it up. In any case, the biggest loser here is Europe once again.

Hard to believe that this is an official OpenAI repo, but it is indeed. This looks like the weekend project of a college freshman and adds no value compared to the existing RAG tool landscape. An interesting road to a 1T IPO...
