Because there's less drama? I use Claude 3.5 Sonnet every day for helping me with coding. It seems to just work. It's been much better than GPT-4 for me, haven't tried o1, but don't really feel the need, very happy with

Gravitar isn't such a terrible idea, just look at how successful something like Linktree is. The problem with Matt's ventures in general is that they're half-assed. Wordpress.com sucks compared to Wix.com. Gutenberg sucks com

I don't know anything about security, but why does an airgapped system even have a USB drive? Seems obvious to me that you want to disable all IO systems, not just internet? OK, sure people can still take photos of the screen or someth

What is a good alternative to WordPress? I don't want a headless CMS, I want a CMS I can log into and edit pages & CPTs. Ideally using a pagebuilder like Bricks. I don't want to ever have to open a code editor. Is there a good

Where I'm at in Europe, the app is rife with anti-American & pro-Chinese & Russian propaganda. I think that even if the Americans ban the app, it's too late, the entire world is now addicted to this app and it'll have

I wonder if the backlash they received from inventing transformers and then allowing OpenAI to eat their lunch has changed their attitude towards how they'll commercialize future inventions.

EU: 440 million people, 60,000 EU bureaucrats. US: 330 million people, 2 MILLION+ US federal employees. Maybe what they need is more bureaucrats, so we don't get half-assed programs like this.
