There are multiple top-tier LLMs on the market right now. The competition is intense and the product differentiation is minuscule in many cases. Claude Code had a half-life of 1 or 2 months before getting sherlocked by the community. We don

Gloat about what? They're describing an A/B dichotomy of how they treat AI at work, and how they treat it in their personal life. Their employment is corollary to telling this story, it's not any kind of subtle brag.

Or as a phenomenon, financialization. Economists have been pretty clear about this, and it makes sense why everything in America is so shit now. You buy an imported smartphone from an American company that pretend to be entitled to recurrin

Google only won the deal because they have great cards in their hand. Apple's homemade PCC nodes were never going to scale, but the TPUs would. Investors expected market displacement in all the wrong places. The tea leaves were prett

Their point seems pretty clear? They aren't passionate about their job, they're pissing away AI-generated productivity to fill OKRs and collect a paycheck at the end of the week. Then, knowing how the sausage is made, this person

A bit bizarre that you're dragging a six-month old post, but I stand by what I said. Nothing in that comment is pejorative. I explained my reasoning for avoiding the word downthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id

Not really sure what you're talking about. Apple just licensed Gemini for Siri, Google and their TPU hardware is starting to hit primetime audiences that OpenAI can only dream of.

Avicebron is correct. I avoided being specific because I didn't want to derail the thread with responses from people that fulminate over specific keywords.

That's a form of collective punishment that rewards their stigma. It would be like revoking tax breaks for farmers because you dislike rural American voters.

Your response is also a common trope. What has Elon actually invented? What code did Elon write on-par with Carmack? We can judge him by technical merits very easily. But if you hold him to the standards of Carmack or Feynman, Elon's a

Well, that was a bizarre turn even by the standards of Cringley's recent pieces. Throughout the piece he conflates "trust" with "trustworthiness" and ignores the branding layer altogether. For instance; users overwh

Your statements are about "evil" which has no objective measure. Ethics isn't on any benchmarks, because you cannot objectively measure it. > let's just say that doesn't fly with the free world, at all. How come?
