There are certainly some valid criticisms of vibe coding. That said, it’s not like the quality of most code was amazing before AI came along. In fact, most code is generally pretty terrible and took far too long for teams to ship. Many folk

In the US a lot of these are pseudo postings for immigration applications. They are technically posting the job, but in pt 3 for on page 72 of a random newspaper in a hope that nobody sees it and applies so they can say “we couldn’t find an

Oracle bet the farm on AI, and that’s starting to look like a really bad idea. Commentary about delaying new data center buildouts for AI is freaking out the markets today that the bubble burst is starting. Credit default swap values are al

There’s not much serious debate on IF there’s a bubble. There is and it’s a big one. The debate is more on what happens from here and how does that bubble deflate. Gradually and controlled where weaker companies shut down and the strong thr

Chips without an ecosystem and software (CUDA) does not a serious challenger make. Thats where Amazon has, and continues to, struggle.

The circular funding is concerning, but more concerning are suggestions that supply might be vastly exceeding demand. Not that people don’t want chips but that the chip production now exceeds the ability to power them up and use them. The s

One of the concerns with the company though is are they really “software.” Many cite experiences with the where they deploy armies of people doing things to clean up data and other hands on labor for the “software” to work just “software” w

The Big Island of Hawaii and the national park there is an amazing place. One of the only places where you can (relatively) safely visit a highly active volcano.

The tech world needs more Stephan Wolframs. Yes this is all a bit quirky and nuanced but when you get into it these things are really good. It’s refreshing to see some really smart folks just focused on doing great things without blinding f

Yes. IPO talks suggests there will be rushed attempts to cash out before this all implodes, but all signs are pointing to that ship having sailed. I don’t see any big AI company having a successful IPO anytime soon which is going to leave s

Tech customers are massively AI hype fatigued at this point. The tech isn’t going away, but a hard reset is overdue to bring things back down for a cold hard reality check. Article yesterday about MSFT slashing quotas on AI sales as custome

The case is essentially seeking to put “AI powered search” on trial. It’s long been established that one can link to other content and even provide short excerpts of what one might find on the other page. Essentially classic Google search.

Increasing signs the ship has sailed on the IPO window for these folks but let’s see.

Hearing similar stories play out elsewhere too with targets being missed left and right. There’s definitely something there with AI but a giant chasm between reality and the sales expectations on what’s needed to make the current financial

It was so bad a lot of folks thought it was fake when first released! People couldn’t believe WeWork was actually that clueless about how six a thing would land.

Hey to be fair getting in the front page of HN floods a site with traffic and that’s even harder for an AI app. Just wait a bit and will likely be fine. Congrats on the launch and keep up the great work.

Mostly non-techies which surprised me. Like borderline tech illiterate folks talking about Gemini which really surprised me too. I can see why OpenAI is freaking out. They’ve massively overextended themselves financially, and if the base s

As history in tech shows you don’t need everyone copying you to be in big trouble, just one or two well positioned players. Typically that has been a big established player just adding your “special sauce product” as a feature to an existin

Anecdotally yes. Since launch I’ve observed probably 50% of the folks that were “ChatGPT those that” all the time suddenly talking about Gemini non-stop. The more that gets rolled into Google’s platform the more there’s point to using separ

That ship has sailed. CNBC talks about the AI bubble and over-valuation every day. Retail investors won’t touch OpenAI. It’s increasingly looking like these LPs will be left holding the bag when the music stops.

This. Netscape was THE browser in the early phases of the Internet. Then Microsoft just packaged IE into Windows and it was game over. The brand means nothing long term. If Google broadly incorporates Gemini into all the Google-owned things

Kind of, but there are limits. The investors still have LPs who aren’t going to be happy if things get messy. Things can still get really ugly even for a private company.

We live in crazy times, but given what they’ve spent and committed to that’s a drop in the bucket relative to what they need to be pulling in. They’re history if they can’t pump up the revenue much much faster. Given that we’re likely at pe

With GCP announcing they built Gemini 3 on TPUs the opposite is true. Anthropic is under pressure to show they don’t need expensive GPUs. They’d be catching up at this point, not leaking some secret sauce. No reason for them to not boast on
