Who cares about Pangram? Why do you care about Pangram? Why not leverage our own intelligence? How does this post read to you? To me, it does not read like it was written by AI.

It's just the ol', "I don't need privacy because I have nothing to hide" routine, which is, in fact, the naive perspective.

Codex turns over 256k windows for *days/weeks on end* without seemingly much fidelity loss, especially with a goal that anchors it to a durable plan/ledger.

by timcobb 2mo ago
Did you give it access to a planner/analyzer?

by timcobb 2mo ago
Codex uses 256k masterfully, 1M is luxurious but still quite expensive and seems not necessary as a default.

This kind of reads like a blood libel. My guess is they're buying all those books that University libraries are throwing away these days (to see other HM threads for that), kinda sad but probably aren't "rare books" in t

For some new custom small thing you'd be better off using not this though, right?

The worst stack overflow in this regard was meta. Most pathological corner of the internet I've ever encountered, up there with 4chan if you ask me.

Humans aren't sheep but in the broad average it seems like we have a strong tendency to fall inline. Fwiw I was mostly joking. I agree that the techno overlords have no reason to keep us, unlike in Roman times.

I can't stop wondering myself.... I'm writing some software with AI and wondering, why am I doing this? Will anyone need this? Will anyone have money to buy this? Best I've come up with is we'll need to be adopted by tec

What do you like about AGPL in this context? Building a similar product and curious! Thanks

I meant working around the big tech hegemony, working around code just takes patience and is nice.

Well, no. If the project is being shut down because its target(s) went away, then that seems unavoidable. It would be good, IMO, if people could come together and build out an open mobile platform not subject to SV hegemony, so I think what

From the minimal context I got, it seems like there are underlying platform access problems in the way. In my experience, attempting to work around these issues is demoralizing.

by timcobb 3mo ago
Thank you! So in your mind, it would be a big investment of human time/tokens and the big obstacle, ultimately, is Big Tech?

by timcobb 3mo ago
So what's the point of spending months and months and months of your time just to shut down your project when it could possibly be worked out for several $100? Is the situation that the authors have a lot of time and no money? Could we

To me I seems like it was an attempt at a privacy focused application for communication, but it's now in maintenance mode.

Who spent the time to make this? If those people spent countless hours doing it by hand, maybe they would be willing to spend an analogous resource? It seems reasonable to me if you've already invested so much and paid in time. But yea
