The price of something is not necessarily the function of the cost of producing it. It is the value to the buyer. Of course, you have edge cases on both sides of the scale, some things are of less value (to some markets) than the cost of pr

It’s always been the case that if you sell results that are obviously cheap for the customer (you give measurable value that’s a multiple of your fee), your sale process was much easier.

It’s a personal choice, and both early and late(er) can be valid rational choices if it’s you who is making the choice and not just following a crowd (or even a single person).

Great idea and execution. I like your thinking.

It’s ironic. I also doubt the validity of the AI writing detection.

The best way I can describe the approach I take is having the ability to "smell" what the AI might have gotten wrong (or forgotten completely). It happens all the time, even when I only scan the code or simply run it and use it. I

I agree, and it's context-dependent when to use what (the author mentions use cases for other solutions). I'm glad there are multiple solutions to choose from.

Only major media can get away with this kind of bloat. For the normal website, Google would never include you in the SERPs even if your page is a fraction of that size.

That sounds like a very good environment. There are always restrictions, just maybe not major and/or ones that seem arbitrary.

Wasn't it automatically used when it was implemented?

AI is a tool. It is humans who abdicate their responsibility (and thinking).

I think it’s dishonest to use a paying client as a test subject for fundamental functionality they pay for, without their prior consent.

That's an interesting angle. I'm not sure I see the direct connection, but it can be a user choice.

If you know it exists and becomes popular, in the right situation you will make sure to have it. The dynamics don't change with this.

Interesting and simple idea to implement. Any actual evidence agents actually use it?

My Bluetooth headphones are great and very rarely have any glitches. I use wired headphones only when listening to high-resolution lossless music (using the right hardware). I would guess the fact that some streaming platforms have these no

These were always personal preferences (I’ve used all types at different times and contexts), and I don’t think AI will have any major effect on their usage numbers.

I never get to more than 20% of the 1M context window, and it’s working great. (Have the same experience in Codex with 5.4.)

A business has the right to set the rules by which it is willing to contract with you. You don’t have to buy their product or service. Trade only works well by mutual consent.

The only reason I can think of for this change is governmental pressure. I don’t see how it benefits the platform itself (nor its users).

I find that restrictions not only don't kill creative work, they enable it. Measuring anything makes you consider constraints, which helps foster better creativity - at least for me, and I see the same in others as well.
