my only concern if the same specs today would cost 10x more given the trajectory of the growth of memory prices lately.

not at current inflation levels, no way to "print" if it means causing inflation to spike beyond unhealthy levels.

wouldn't take long for them to find out with the developer bragging about it. he one-shot vibe-coded a sass app (keyword: one-shot), that says alot about the quality.

you mentioned a very good point about scalability. we're seeing alot of productivity gains, but only from SWEs, which are but a very small segment of the global economy. all other economic use cases require thorough last-mile developme

so your company runs on a vibe-coded saas app, that sure is a confidence booster for your would-be customers.

Unfortunately, the economics of what you suggest do not justify the trillion dollar valuations of OpenAI and Anthropic.

unlikely scenario as the main mandate of the federal reserve is to keep inflation in check. inflation reaching such levels would also cause interest rates to rise astronomically, and this would make the debt harder to service

gpt 5.5 regularly wastes tokens on wrong commands, requires lots of handholding. I highly doubt there's substantial improvement

it's destroying consumption before destroying jobs, which is somehow even worse than initially imagined

the language the original wow code is written it doesn't matter because translating programming languages is trivial for a llm.

you understimate how large the international market is, for example, half of google's revenue is generated from international markets.

some people will, but they will have to bear the costs being the only users of llms sustained through billions of dollars of funding.

not if they run out of investments to train their cutting edge models. Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs are going to be a massive flop if they aren't able to sell their best models to the world.

10x developers were not slightly better than their peers, they were vastly superior and faster. OTOH, the lead of frontier llms is diminishing as training is getting diminishing returns. Also, on that note. Not every company needs 10x devel

most ai use and spend is still by humans. laying off humans would (ironically) reduce ai spend and use.

i don't think training is necessarily the right solution for such attacks. a proper harness would be more effective

you're not a corporation, corporations are price-sensitive and the decision-makers are typically not the end-users.

it's really not much compared to the amount they are spending on training. 100 developers at $200 per month is just $20000
