The preference rankings keep fluctuating on every release for me. A year ago it was Gemini dominating coding tasks, then it was Claude, now it is the latest Codex again. With the next point release(s) the cycle will continue.

> Perhaps a society not in slow intellectual decline would have chosen otherwise. The "slow intellectual decline" has circular causality with advancement of mass media and convenience tech.

I am not a finance pro, but is it not normal and expected for secondary equity markets to be hesitant against large unloads of pre-money company stocks, even in cases where the company in question isn't in water like OpenAI is? Does th

Here's how I think Microsoft can get a quick and sustained longterm win in GUI (/s but only partially) - 1. Drop all its GUI stacks apart from legacy Win32 2. Port KDE Plasma to Windows (with aliased bindings to support traditiona

Do you contest the fact that Microsoft royally fumbled OpenAI out of sheer incapability of providing what's supposed to be its core business despite having all deals in its favor? Because that's the most damning validation against

Yeah but I can't conceive a world where a Board would care about technical complaints from an employee about engineering decisions several levels downstream of the CEO's executive domain.

You massively underestimate the difference in employee productivity not having to fight user-hostile software every step of the way can make. Not to mention cascading cost savings and infra flexibility distancing yourself from Microsoft pro

I use to think that too. But if you really look at it the "comfort zone" problem isn't too big of an issue in itself that a few training workshops and brief acclimatization periods for other tool suites can't solve. Maki

Weakening your own domain to get powerful sounds clearly contradictory, yet there are so many examples of elites doing exactly that despite the fact that doing so must've required foresight and planning elaborate enough to not blind th

Honestly speaking, it has started to look like AI coders could actually do a better job than 80% of app developers in writing efficient apps just by being set to adhere to best-practice programming conventions by default (notwithstanding th

Yes, that's what "in the country" means.. It is also exactly these same people of the USA whose thinking is going to matter for determining what happens next, not anyone else. It is immaterial what "everyone else outside

You mean a complete collapse of social media, not the whole internet. The internet is a telecom ecosystem and has a lot more to it than just forums and link aggregators. I honestly believe it might not even be such a bad thing. People were

Who is stopping you from licensing your code that way then?

What do the people who are deep into open source mean by the term then, in your understanding?

> The licenses are completely ignored. Where and when? In cases where LLM coding assistants reproduce copyleft code in someone's work assignment? The responsibility in those would be on the user, not on AI.
