In terms of distribution or fitting in, this is not unique to you or this moment in time. Art has always been this way, even worse back in the day of having to get a painting in the Salons in Paris where it was judged by a few people. It&#x

I think this is the main thing. Because you have billions of people competing, the people that make it do EVERYTHING themselves (until you get to 2-3+ million subscribers). This is why pretty much everyone burns out. It is probably the sing

Interesting that people miss that so much of art is about the idea, not the execution. Most musicians can play a beatles song (ex. thousands of dead on cover bands), anyone can take a photo (ex. see shot on iPhone campaign), a lot of people

What would you name it? Something that explains exactly what it does in the name like Hulu, Apple, Snowflake, Oracle, Google, Ford, or Bungie?

The funny thing is I think you're misunderstanding the scale. You wife likes videos that are not-so-obviously staged. Somone else would get purely staged videos. Someone else would get actual real videos. If you like real pilots landin

There must be a name for this bias. "Everyone else's stuff sucks but the reason my stuff sucks is because someone is keeping me from doing good work" Other people are always the problem. It's like the anecdote that most

Unless you predicted AI and Crypto then it was just really good, not 100x. It 20x from 2005-2020 but ~500x from 2005-2025 And if you truly did predict that Nvidia would own those markets and those markets would be massive, you could have al

When will this come to pass? OpenAI has many orders of magnitude more conversational data and Anthropic just keeps catching up. Until there is some evidence (OpenAI winning, or Google winning rather than Open Source catching up), I don'

Also doesn't add much, but I was waiting for this comment. It makes me laugh that non-capitalization (or non-conformative structure) is the bane of HN's existence.

If one makes $150 an hour and it saves them 1.25 hours a month, then they break even. To me, it's just a non-deterministic calculator for words. If it getting things wrong, then don't use it for those things. If you can't fin

I think thats a great analogy. What would it look like if I could have 3-500 snippets instead of 30. Those 300 are things that I do all over my codebase e.g. same basic where query but in the context of whatever function I am in, a click ha

People talk about how AI is bad at generating non-trivial code, but why are people using it to generate non-trivial code? 25% of coding is just the most basic boilerplate. I think of AI not as a thinking machine but as a 1000 WPM boilerplat

You said it yourself. The tech you're suggesting didn't meet their requirements. Once it does, they will use it. A marketing site SHOULD be optimized for the editor. This is a failure of the dev, not the marketing person.

I don't disagree. I don't really have too much of an opinion on which one we end up with. I was more pointing out that, at the limit, it's not certain that we will end up in a dystopia through abundance, more that it is extre
