The "Windows laptop special key" is a bit of a meme. Microsoft keeps changing it every few years to the new hot thing and it never catches on. It feels like "we have Command key at home".

I'll admit I was being a bit provocative with wording there ;)

Yes. In fact, crypto is ahead, because it does have a legitimate use case. Two, actually - money laundering and sanctions evasion.

I'm sorry, is this criticism of Z.AI and China or Anthropic and the US? Not that there is much of a difference these days..

The more I look into it, the more I am convinced, that I don't want any AI generated code in my project. I find the LLM useful to talk things through. It can offer some interesting takes during the design and acts as a decent rubber du

I don't want to hurt people's feelings, so in person I restrain myself from speaking out (it wouldn't change anything anyway)... but every person I have seen so far, who was bullish on building an AI business has followed the

It's been 19 years. Since then an entire generation has been conditioned to think that saying something bad about capitalism earns them social points. I have seen it so many times - people, who don't even know what capitalism is,

The core ideas of capitalism are private property and free market, not "rich getting richer". > It very necessarily leads to oligarchy when left unchecked. Great, let's not leave it unchecked. Unlike other -isms, capitalis

This endless moaning about "capitalism" is lamentable. You are looking at an oligopoly, degenerated through the mechanisms of American-style democracy, but you attribute it all to capitalism, an economic system, not ideology, beca

Well, it's a mania, it's stupid now and it will correct itself. There will be pain. There's always pain after stupidity. Then we will see if LLMs are as useful as we were told.
