Have you even tried it? I don't know anyone who has seriously used the latest models and stuff like CC and still said that with a straight face.

I'm not. That edge eventually converges to 0 when you have 10+ competitors that offer the same for 10x less money. If you don't have some kind of cult following like Apple eventually you'll get margin-squeezed till death and

But eventually people will catch up you can basically create a working product alone with the help of AI. My prediction is that this will lead to a margin free-fall for many software products where the main moat is the software itself. And

But what's the endgame? What if Google has the "best" AI offering if most of their revenue that comes from ads is gone?

We are probably entering the post-copyright era. The law will follow sooner or later.

I guess the clock is ticking. Probably OAI will try to IPO soon also.

The problem for Google is that there is no sensible way to monetize this tech and it undercuts their main money source which is search. On top of that the Chinese seem to be hellbent to destroy any possible moat the US companies might creat

A lot of people here have overgrown egos and really believe they are irreplaceable. And reality can come at you really fast.

How they're packaging it now? Terrorism? Child porn? Russian agents? Either way politicians prefer to push unpopular stuff like this via the EU because the responsibility gets muddied - "we didn't want it, the EU regulation r

1) Not long ago Altman and the OpenAI CFO were openly asking for public money. None of these AI companies have actually any kind of working business plan and are just burning investor money. If the investors see there is no winning against

If these numbers are true then OpenAI is probably done, Anthropic too. Still, it's hard to see an effective monetization method for this tech and it clearly is eating Google's main pie which is search.

There's also the aspect of control - because of how the shares and ownership are organized he answers essentially to no one. In other companies burning this much cash as was with VR or now AI without any sensible results would get him

The allure for companies of exploiting H1Bs for cheaper and more effective labor I understand. But it is not companies who (at least officially) set the rules and laws regarding immigration. So the questions is why the government is not tur

by margorczynski 11mo ago
The most baffling thing is that even now the H1Bs, etc. are still pouring in. How can you say there is a shortage of IT talent and you need to import them where most grads can't find any work?

That's a very simplistic view of what Microsoft offers. They don't sell an office software package but a very robust solution for running the software side of a business. The OS, office package, email (server and client), calendar

Well the complexity comes not from Kubernetes per se but that the problem it wants to solve (generalized solution for distributed computing) is very hard in itself.

LeCun seems like an extremely smart person that suffers from an overgrown ego. I got that strong impression from seeing his Twitter feed - basically "smarter than thou".

The problem is people (not sure if it's coping) present an argument that either it can perfectly replace someone 100% or it's an useless fad. Even increasing the average productivity by 10-20% is huge and in some areas (like copyw

Most accidents in cities are simple fender benders. The worst are on the roads that interconnect different cities and major areas - especially if they're two-way roads.

The same shit NK says about SK and the USA but still I don't see nukes flying. You shouldn't mistake propaganda for the masses with the leadership being crazy fanatics.

Yeah the timing seems strange. Considering how much money will move hands based on those results this might be some kind of play to manipulate the market at least a bit.

They're probably feeling the heat from e.g. Google and Gemini which is gaining ground fast so the plan is to speed up the releases. I think a similar thing happened with OpenAI where incremental upgrades were presented as something muc

Is it AI or just good ol' offshoring? Mix of both? If AI can just make any dev 10-20% more efficient that's a whole lot of jobs no longer needed.

With how stochastic the process is it makes it basically unusable for any large scale task. What's the plan? To roll the dice until the answer pops up? That would be maybe viable if there was a way to automatically evaluate it 100% but
