Interesting read. Chasing perfection can be a real trap, as we are essentially trained to find flaws and improve things. That can easily turn into a never-ending cycle of fiddling with code without any clear end goal or time frame. One thin

I think the author's point isn't that it's easier, it's the fact that being in an isolated, low judgmental environment allows you to express edgy ideas more uniquely without the prepackaged style you often find in big ci

That’s the point of using AI in the first place. If your product is just a polished interface on top of a prompt, then your moat isn’t that strong, and chances are your product will be commoditized soon. By building a good UX and integratin

We might live in a world where veto-ed assistants get VIP access to use the websites impersonating their owners without much second thought as long as you're at least on the paid Flash Max Pro™ plan.

The fact that both systems scored well on ARC AGI 1 shows they can handle unseen challenges without heavy human input, unless I'm missing something about why you see humans as the best interface for real world exploration.

The price comparisons there don't make much sense. DeepSeek V2 is far worse than 4o, so a better analogy would be to compare the pricing of V3 and R1 instead. For example, if you check https://artificialanalysis.ai/mode
