    I think it more likely reflects using bigger phones, where swiping across a while keyboard is quite slow, but also, I hate typing with two hands with any other app than Fleksy. You…

    The thing is, with Fleksy, as long as you get within a few characters of the letter, it counts, and you also switch auto-correct choices by swiping up or swiping down, so you can f…

    But none of us decide what our cage looks like, now. Our cage now is capitalism, wage labor, disease, death, suffering. We already are tossing the environment in the meat grinder, …

    Is a human zoo such a bad outcome? We stake our identities on being in control and on top, but do we need to be? Clearly the author is invested in his image of us as rulers—this is…

    I don't really get swiping. It's always going to be quicker and more efficient to type because you can use both hands, right? And you don't have to swipe your finger across the scr…

    13 billion in revenue, 7.5 in cost of revenue. Can we finally put to bed the idea that inference is subsidized?

    Fable was trying to verify a UI change in my game. I was working in another window and noticed a program opening on my task bar. Fable had opened the game through the CLI using a m…

    Very well said. People are making a lot of claims when very little knowledge of the financials is public. If you actually look at the numbers, there are plenty of ways in which API…

    They are losing money because they are training new models and building new data centers. The claim of the video is that they're losing money just serving current AI models. There'…

    Ahh yes, the "human dignity" of billions of people toiling away to make Americans cheap widgets. There never was dignity to capitalism. We can strive to replace it with something b…

    If you paid attention to proponents of a wealth tax in the US, you would be aware that they only ever suggest it for vast wealths of like $10 million+.

    Yeah the multi-agent workflow just hasn't been satisfying to me. The more chats I try to run at once, the more I got lost and overwhelmed. I trust Claude to implement a plan correc…

    Yeah but the tech doesn't end here. Sure, it doesn't make anybody particularly happy that the tech started here. It's kind of a bummer to automate creative labor that gets social e…

    Speaking specifically about food insecurity and homelessness in the US, it's not simply greed, it's "just deserts" ideology. It's a belief in the lack of merit of the poor to recei…

    That's not a very good analogy. When the mine closes, democracy doesn't save the town, because the town only has control over the economic activity inside of it. AI or no AI, the U…

    Exactly! The rich don't want to see mass starvation any more than the rest of us. We only permit homelessness and food insecurity now because of scarcity and a "just deserts" menta…

    Democracy is what allows regular people to have negotiating power vs the rich, and the majority of these battles are actually won through legislation, not union negotiation. I unde…

    Counterpoint: Work sucks. Of the billions of workers on the planet, the number of them who love their job and would truly be doing it even if they didn't need to in order to surviv…

    Exactly, and that's why this maxim about "understanding the code base" being the bottleneck is also somewhat misleading. Claude is even better at helping you understand the code ba…

    Thanks for the genuine response. When you put it like that, though, if all seems a little ambiguous. Like, Dario isn't necessarily lying, and there's no proof he is, and on the con…

    We don't need AI in the same way we don't need washing machines and dryers. Like, sure, we don't need a machine to do our laundry, just like we don't need an AI to do our skilled l…

    Thanks for the link. There's not much of an argument here from Ed, though, besides that it's an unusual way to view or report margins. But it's not that unusual, right? If I build …

    Thanks for the link. I'll admit I'm not an expert on the business side of this, but is this really much of a response? He seems to just call it strange accounting and then he moves…

    Most small features take 80-150k tokens to implement, and most large features take 200-250k. For a hobbiest working like 10 hours a week, they can get stuff done but not nearly hit…

    All subscription models are subsidized by users who don't use much. The fact that somebody on a $20 sub might get $50 in value isn't crazy if there are 3 people who only get $10 in…
