He might be referring to this? https://www.wheresyoured.at/big-tech-2tr/ That figure is $2T in the next 4 years though. $2T/year would be quite silly.

yay?

The problem is that $1500/engineer/month would be a pretty modest amount of demand for labs. OpenAI/Anthropic are basing their $1T valuations on the explosive uncapped growth of un…

What, why? This is the web, so it has to be a solution that can handle old browser versions. Take away the old version and it's as small as it can be.

This forum is oddly hesitant to accept good news, a weird feature of online communities.

So just ignoring the link entirely, cool cool cool

Ya, that sounds right to me. Coastal city housing is very supply constrained, part of why it's so expensive, but it is hugely in demand and provides tons of value to many by lettin…

What's wrong with choosing to care about coding manually then?

How do you reconcile this with Ed Zitron's reporting that just the AWS bill in 2024/2025 was more than their entire revenue? https://www.wheresyoured.at/costs/#how-much-did-anthrop…

The task isn't "make something that you could plausibly call a pencil". It's "understand every step of how a modern pencil is produced".

That's the critical difference. You could always find some person who understood a particular piece of a complex puzzle. It's a very new, worrying thing to have pieces that no one …

I actually do think that Dr. Haidt is a good source for getting a fair understanding of both sides of the issue. If you've read or listened to him you'll know that it's a huge part…

Social media being bad for mental health in childhood is one of the most robust theories I've ever seen for these kind of society-wide problems. You can peruse the After Babel Subs…

This hits the nail on the head. There's a marked difference between a JSON parser and a real world feature in a product. Real world features are complex because they have opaque de…

Not exactly, this article is expanding on your linked one.

Oh you meant 0% of your usage, lol

Explains why Sam was so panicked when asked about revenues recently.

Why would that be?

Seems more like a "mega" Marshmallow Test. Instead of putting off a snack for 15 minutes they're giving up an entire year of birthday gifts for a reward years into the future.

Even if someone COULD write a great post with AI, I think the author is right in assuming that it's less likely than a handwritten one. People seem to use AI to avoid thinking hard…

No, that's no longer the case: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/open-questions/what-if-ai-...

Seriously! These two things are laughably far apart. What on earth kind of leap of logic is this?
