such a business plan has not yet created economic value, being able to roll out features at rocket speed is not a huge determinant of a startup's success.

sam and dario would be extremely happy

why would you even hire 2 AI friendly people when you could just prompt it yourself? we wouldn't even need you anymore

we are already at the point where AI proponents are planning to have the review cycle be replaced by llms

i doubt the users really care as long as they get the job done, AI in 90% of use cases is just a race to the bottom, nobody cares as long as it's cheap and gets the job done.

fraud that cannot be reliably be prevented, which makes the business model in-question fall into 'questionable' category.

good, then the money could be potentially put to better use

The official reasoning they use is sanctioning 'intellectual theft' due to distillation.

VCs have been horseshit for some time and throwing money at horseshit startups to increase their AUM, their incentive structures are fundamentally misaligned with their clients.

Why would model progress slowing be necessarily bad for China?

if this is true, the frontier labs are not able to justify their trillion dollar valuations, they are barely making anything on subsidized plans.

I believe they will last until they IPO, and not long after that. $200/mo plans are not good for their P&L when their users using $10000 worth api credits. That's -98% margin loss …

until they put their money where their mouth is

claude code is free to use, you can use claude code with any non-anthropic model, so harness stickiness doesn't benefit the AI labs at all.

the reselling of fixed price plans by resellers are causing american labs to lose alot of money and that's why they're trying really hard to stamp it down.

it's not like the protests are working anyway

does demolishing homes to build data centers count?

guess that's what AI trained itself on

or i can just not do it? this absolute garbage of a music video is not worth a single cent, let alone a $100.

more features doesn't mean anything if they don't translate into economic value, refactoring prs and dependency updates are easily automated now and it saves alot of productivity, …

when they IPO, their financials will be under scrutiny, and exponential revenue growth would be required to justify their trillion dollar valuation

that's why i mostly use it for asynchronous work, the inefficiency is something i can bear with because the subscription costs are dirt cheap. if it's token-based, it wouldn't make…

churning out assembly code would cost far more in tokens, wouldn't make financial sense for the improved performance which doens't matter that much for most use cases.

they use React to render their TUI :)

would i hire a phd grad if they cost the same as a degree holder? sure, why not. but if they cost twice as much?
