Fair, hopefully the gitlab employees won’t get totally screwed!

Yes but that’s also pre-Sundar Google when there was some semblance of vision. Now that Ruth runs the company behind the scenes with a vision timeline that is measured in exactly 3 month increments…well, good luck.

They kill more than they allow to live, and doubleclick slowly hollowed out Google search by skewing incentives away from great content to maximizing display revenue via link bait. Doubleclick is to Google what McDonald Douglas’s is to Boei

I was actually looking at them as a GitHub alternative and their homepage has so much vaporware AI BS on it that’s as far as I got. Ironically I was very open to paying for a service, but the “AI AI AI!” lost them at least one sale.

Eh, Google it goes to the graveyard (rip Google code), Amazon it gets buried, JetBrains would be cool tho.

Slash costs/headcount in short term, sell, pocket the cash and get the hell out of dodge.

The photos look like an AI was given the prompt “tech ceo, headshot, for press release”.

Other factor is I use local LLM first because I don’t trust any of the companies to protect my data or software IP.

I have an A6000 with 48GB VRAM I run from a local server and I connect to it using Enchanted on my Mac.

You can also saturate your network link as well. I do like these improvements, but I’m old enough to know it’s always a game of “move the bottleneck”!

I have several local models I hit up first (Mixtral, Llama), if I don’t like the results then I’ll give same prompt to Claude and GPT. Overall though it’s really just for reference and/or telling me about some standard library function

It’s clever marketing.

That’s the wrong question. The only question is “is this price reflective of 10x performance over the competition?”. The answer is almost definitely no.

I consistently get significantly better performance from Anthropic at a literal order of magnitude less cost. I am incredibly doubtful that this new GPT is 10x Claude unless it is embracing some breakthrough, secret, architecture nobody has

It almost definitely ingested hundreds of books, short stories, and film and television scripts from various online sites in the “machine goes rogue genre” which is fairly large. It’s pretty much just an autocomplete of War Games, The Matri

Exactly, “it’s bad now” != “it won’t get worse”.

Counter point: you’d see a corresponding exponential increase in QA labor, and just like with the web, Steam will be absolutely flooded with slop. So I see the most likely outcome is a lot of dogshit and Steam being forced to make draconian

Who knows, maybe they are thinking we’ll buy VMWare for $x, use the implicit lock in to extort customers until there’s nothing left in three years, get a tax write off, and pocket $3x.

If you haven’t seen it this may be the best use of ai-podcast I’ve seen: https://youtu.be/gfr4BP4V1R8

Given how much of the web is ai generated slop now, I think going forward it’s even worse than you suggest. I have a copy of refined web locally so I have a billion pre-chatgpt documents for my long term use.

That’s a fair complaint then.

I know the norms of science, I also know norms of present day Google. Nobody from Google should have the gall to accuse others of anything.

They have literally been caught faking AI demos, they brought distrust on themselves.
