the flip side of that, right now ai coding agents try to generate code, not software. it seems semi intuitive to me that a typesafe, functional programming language with referential transparency would be ideal if you could decompose a progr

i dont think this should matter, plenty of conglomerates have brands across quality levels. think old navy, gap, banana republic. the quality difference is important for the conglomerate same with netflix vs hbo, the corporate benefit is be

if you want to compete with google it seems like ad space is the single most important thing to push out quickly. no matter what openai does if its not accepting customers the ad budgets will flow to meta amaz and goog and be used as weapon

they're deep into a redesign of the gemini app, idk when it will be released or if its going to be good, but at least they agree with you and are putting significant resources into fixing it.

ads always start on only the free version, then either the free version has a minor fee that slowly gets ratcheted up over time or the paid version gets ads and theres a higher no ad tier version added.

for whatever reason gemini 3 is the first ai i have used for intelligence rather than skills. I suspect a lot more will follow, but its a major threshold to be broken. i used gpt/claude a ton for writing code, extracting knowledge from

you see content about openai everywhere, they spent 2b on marketing, you're in the right places you just are used to seeing things labeled ads. you remember everyone freaking out about gpt5 when it came out only for it to be a bust onc

It feels like it should be true that a referentially transparent type safe language would be the 'right' language for ai coding since each code block is stateless you should be able to in parellel decompose problems and test them

only if you're cynical, google found a much better solution though, make them IC's again and redistribute the junior talent to places they can grow and offer buyouts for anyone who feels like they're not into it anymore.

tsmc(taiwan) will blink for the same reason europe did and japan did, and for the same reason india and brazil did not. when you take a step back and look at the deal breakdown, this is protection money not a trade negotiation.

can someone help me understand how the following can be true: 1. TPU's are a serious competitor to nvidia chips. 2. Chip makers with the best chips are valued at 1-3.5T. 3. Google's market cap is 2T. 4. It is correct for google to
