Well, would you have a better standard of living with $0 or $1000 when you retire? Even if that $1000 used to be worth $10000, that $0 is still worth $0.

I think there is a pattern it will always be nerfed the few weeks before launching a new model. Probably because they are throwing a bunch of compute at the new model.

You mean the US, right? Especially with the part 2? I know this may sound like a shock because you are privileged but 7% yoy return on capital is NOT the norm for the rest of the world. Just look at any other index not called the S&P or

Its just law of the jungle all over again. Might makes right. Outcomes over means. Game theory wise there is no solution except to declare (and enforce) spaces where leeching / degrading the environment is punished, and sharing, buildi

Anthropic was the first to spam reddit with fake users and posts, flooding and controlling their subreddit to be a giant sycophant. They nuked the internet by themselves. Basically they are the willing and happy instigators of the dead inte

This is why you are not the finance guy. My finance people care about the cents, a ROI of 7% is average but at 8.5% and now you are a world class asset of that inventory type. That’s sometimes the difference of a few hundred k out of 20m bu

What's the point honestly. Given the pace of current ai, in 2 months dark factories will peak hype and then in another 6 months it will be fully identified in its cost/benefit drawbacks, and the wisdom of the crowds will have a re

This is irrelevant and misleading. Just because many people cannot tell flavors apart doesn’t mean that the products are parity and are marketing differentiated. Sure the majority of people cannot tell flavor notes apart but there exists a

Ai can both be a bubble and also the greatest economic value add of this generation at the same time. It doesn’t have to be either or. All bubbles (dot com, housing, tech, crypto, etc) have a lot of losers and a few big winners. That is les

You are way too nice with the author, if I were you I’d omit the fake empathy which dilutes your substantial points. The author is hallucinating worse than AI. So what if other people downvote you for being too critical.

But it’s necessary to get confirmation against the hope that the grass is indeed not greener on the other side.

There are a ton of them already in game dev but they produce unfun games so you don’t hear about them. The hard part of game dev is designing actually fun experiences.

Not quite my area of expertise but I can venture a guess. It's not large enterprise deals, that's a bit too random and narrow minded. Large software companies care more about their position in market (market share). At the end of

The bet is that people will pay for services which are under the hood being done by AI.

In the comments it reveals this guy is using the sharpener wrong by doing way too many pulls with too much pressure. The cheap ikea one is fine, it will not wear out your blade. 2-3 pulls at very light pressure, no need to learn how to use

Usually I would agree with your points, especially that wounds on the soul should be treated like wounds on the body - objectively, and with the best practice medical support for proper healing to minimize adverse effects. But as she so elo

Not to take away from the article, in the comments she states that her world is filled with the joy of new things with her new baby. She is doing as well as one can be for how much she loved Jake and how much she misses him. The author is e

I mean listen to yourself… Let’s take a critical piece of infrastructure where if it goes down, billions of things also break. And have ai rewrite it.

Basic statistics. You can find 10 people that will probably not abuse the system but definitely not 100. It’s like your friend group and time choosing a place to eat. It’s not your friends, it’s the law of averages.

Sometimes the bet is not on the company but the industry. If you can argue the industry has room to grow 10x in terms of market cap, which is possible, then merely staying even in market share is a 10x growth. Ai applications have not even

I really think the effects of LLMs on thinking is the exact same as a calculator. It shortcuts some forms of thinking to open up other forms of thinking. My thinking has increased with the use of LLMs, not decreased, most likely because LLM

I think this is the one dimensionality of modern life. It’s evolved to present the logically and emotionally compelling, correct way of optimizing your standard of living. The problem is that veering off that path is scary and filled with p

The common theme was creators who didn’t monetize. That’s the old web. Now the new web has a lot of nice stuff but it’s under a paywall or an ad wall. That paywall / ad wall is like a fly in a soup, it ruins the whole dish. But it’s al

Not the commenter but saying unregulated market does not imply that a regulated market would solve it. But I also agree that unregulated market forces is the best way to describe what happened to the internet.
