If it was, they would have released it. Another problem is the definition is not well defined. Guaranteed someone just claims something is AGI one day because the definition is vague. It'll be debated and argued, but all that matters i

No, only Datadog has done that to me.

They already made smart decisions. This money is for dumb decisions that may pay off big. Imagine having so much money that you've already invested in stocks, bonds, real estate, you own everything, you got bored going to Vegas, and ha

It's also heavily subsidized in products like Cursor and Windsurf. In fact, these tools are literally marketing vehicles for the LLMs if you do the math and look at who the investors are. This stuff costs so much, they need mass adopti

We used to know everything to get the job done. Some of us still believe in that.

Expectations are absolutely way too high. It's going to lead to a lot of toxicity and people being fired. It's really going to suck.

Know what really kicks me in the nuts? Stupid kid me didn't buy Nvidia when I told my father to back in like 2002 for $16 or something. He did. And holds it until this day. Fortunately that means taking care of him is easier haha, but

Or any other open source solution. They're all going to be the same or better. Cursor is cooked. Trying to compete with open source lol. They should study the thing they're so dependent on - VS Code. A history lesson in how VS Cod

They aren't the reseller. Also, that wonderful big beautiful bill in the US just limited what states and government can do to AI. It's a clear and open highway for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc. They don't have to worry abou

Dropped it long ago for Roo Code personally.

by tom_m 1y ago
Roo Code manages context a LOT better than Cursor or Windsurf. Cursor and Windsurf don't care about this because they want people to use more tokens. Their investors want more people to use tokens. Think about this one. They don't

Confusing pricing models generally don't tend to do well.

There's is absolutely nothing that Cursor has that anyone else can't easily and doesn't already. In fact better. Open-source solutions already outpace Cursor. The difference is open-source doesn't exactly have a giant ma

The search engine was just a tool for their real product. Ads. Now, AI. They're so unconcerned about search that they are replacing it with Gemini answers.

Basically...but, no, I mean they have some features that provide UX around prompting an LLM and then taking the output and using it to edit files for you. It's a "quality of life" or productivity tool. It's useful and ha

They built nothing that someone else couldn't...and didn't. They got nothing. This is also a bit of foreshadowing for all SaaS by the way. Remember, nothing prevents anyone from simply vibe coding anything they see out there in th

And also if they can keep up. Imagine not just selling that many GPUs, but selling that many new GPUs every few years for the same amount of money or more. Where the previous generation hardware becomes almost worthless. The insane thing he

Supply and demand says otherwise. I think costs are actually going to go up. Right now they are trying to make sure the AI you run on your phone can't be used for coding or other tasks. They want to keep it expensive. They have no ince

It was obvious that they over raised. It's insane to raise that kinda money to go sell an open-source and otherwise free code editor that wraps an LLM that you don't own or host. So you're not providing the service, you don&#

It's all about marketing sadly. Marketing and connections. This industry has been full of theft for years.

Really good thoughts here. You do become like the "new guy" on the project. It's becoming a black box. I think that should be some sort of signal to people...but my dear is people not caring or being complacent with this or n

Honestly, they produce what they were trained on -- mediocre code. That doesn't mean people can't use that to make money, deliver customer value, etc. but is it code that's going to win any awards or be inspiring? No. Not in

Yea, that dipshit judge just opened the flood gates for more problems. The problem is they don't understand how this stuff works and they're in the position of having to make a judgement on it. They're completely unprepared t

And illegally too. Anthropic didn't pay for those books they used. It's too late at this point. The damage is done. These companies trained on illegally obtained data and they will never be held accountable for that. The training

What drama. Hype it up. Make the bubble bigger. If Sam Altman is upset, he should look in the mirror for making his people work so many hours. They didn't leave because of the pay.

That is prompting. It's all a prompt going in. The parts you see or don't see as an end user is just UX. Of course when you obscure things, it changes the UX for the better or the worse.

What a lot of "AI doomers" don't understand is that if they are right, then most of their businesses are done. The CEO that sits there thinking "it's now so easy to make software and we can move so fast! Faster than
