This is probably a hot take and I am by no means a financial expert and this is probably quite wrong. I personally think that attempting to value these companies using the same methodology as the history of all American companies is fundame

What are you even talking about? Everyone knows that Anthropic is drastically subsidizing their plans. It's actually the exact opposite of what you're talking about. The costs are extremely high and the prices are actually what&#x

Yeah, it's not that computer use is the most theoretically optimal paradigm, but there's a reasonable case that given the constraints of modern software systems and how they're built, that it's the most realistically o

It depends on what you consider ineffectual to mean. Ineffectual at making new products and innovating? Yes, definitely. Ineffectual at preserving business momentum and continuing to grow profits? Well, the latest numbers speak for themselv

Is there really a killer app here though? I've tried it and I think the hardware is really cool, but it doesn't really strike me that any of the software justifies the purchase price.

If I may ask, what devices would you consider to be "with the times"? If there's some dope AR headset that I don't know about, I'd love to learn more.

I'm starting to get the sense that Anthropic is the company that will fulfill the prophecy laid out in AI 2027.

I'm just not sure that Google, or anyone for that matter, really has the capital to do that with Anthropic. This is a near trillion dollar company.

Can you go into a bit more detail about what exactly it is that you are predicting? This is interesting, and definitely cuts against the grain that the rest of these comments are going with.

Any sources on this?

That's exactly what I'm saying is the problem. Side projects aren't as fulfilling when you can literally just have them done in 10 minutes.

Ask HN: Do you find vibe coding / agentic engineering to be fulfilling?

Wow, it's starting to seem like the choice is essentially between an intelligence cap that pops the bubble, and an increasingly chaotic and unpredictable cybersecurity environment with major hacks and exploits left and right.

This comment thread really has me thinking. Is it possible that we might be at peak "consumer AI" in terms of intelligence? If it's basically impossible to verify that security-proficient AI is used for beneficial purposes, t

I find it pretty hard to see how Meta could possibly catch up to the existing frontier labs. Distillation, I guess, if you want to go that route, but between the fact that they're already way behind and the constant deluge of negative

The thing about all this is that there's not a chance in hell that Anthropic can retain control against the wishes of the USG. Like, the USG has the guns, simple as. They're not going to tolerate a private company controlling this

I have a question. If A were to basically just release Mythos as-is, what would happen? What outcome are they so afraid of?

This article asserts a pretty strong, contrarian thesis... and then fails to dive into it whatsoever. The "evidence" consists of one paragraph of random insults towards major tech CEOs. I have to say, I found it to be a complete w

Conversational Siri - yes, absolutely. All the rest - probably not.

All I want the ability to talk to Siri while I'm in the car. My buddy's Tesla has this feature with Grok and it's actually really awesome. Let me have an on-demand CONVERSATIONAL assistant, meaning something I'd actually

I don't disagree that theoretically there could be some kind of test ban treaty type thing. But the mere fact that the primary rhetoric we see from leaders is around "winning the AI competition with China", I personally can&#

How do you resolve the security dilemma? A cursory knowledge of international relations shows why a "global pause" is basically impossible, and that's to say nothing of current international conditions. These Anthropic guys a

Super cool project, thanks for sharing. Definitely conforms to my own battle-tested assessments of Opus, it's the smartest model by a long shot.

I wish China didn't have such a hostile government to the West. Because I'd love to buy a BYD car and see this for myself, or try the Xiaomi car that MKBHD was so keen on. But because of the hostility I kind of get why there are b

Fair enough. I'm feeling more than a bit pessimistic right now to be honest, looking at the CEOs gleefully talking about how we're gonna have to find new jobs. Hopefully the pendulum does swing the other way again. On the dress co

Office work removes corporate friction at the expense of personal friction (commuting, dress codes, etc), while WFH removes personal friction at the expense of corporate fiction in the way you've just described. It's an interestin

This has got to be the most thin, vague, stupid article I've ever read. It doesn't go into specifics whatsoever, and just retreads the same points people have been saying since 2023. A complete waste of time and I wish I hadn&#x27

I think you're just wrong on this. Stadia did flop, but that's a Google problem, not a tech problem. I play online games with multiple people who only play through GeForce Now, and they've never complained. Especially in an e

Yeah, absolutely. I feel like we've replaced "deep work" with constant context switching, breakages, and friction. I got into this line of work in order to go deep and build cool stuff, but now the vast majority of my day-to-

Unfortunately, we don't experience creative destruction in abstract terms like reading about it in a history textbook. Most people are really just focused on their own lives. Losing their job AND the economic value of their skills is n
