I don’t think end users will purchases subscriptions out of their own pocket for work en masse. If the value is there, companies will.

Funny that it bashes a future where AI destroys jobs but embraces one where it destroys relationships and wellbeing.

I avoid subscriptions like the plague and I was getting enough value from Claude that I was paying for the Max plan for a couple months. I don't know how much Anthropic needs to ma…

I’m exploring how to use AI for faith oriented experiences and products. There are two specific areas I’m interested in. I’m furthest along with this app in the App Store. https://…

I have Claude implementing features from a spec, running tests, creating a build, and then publishing to TestFlight. All I have to do is verify that the build works once I get the …

The cost per token is super low. If you're used to paying OpenAI or Anthropic API-based fees then the same workload on DeepSeek feels free.

On DeepSeek's platform page yesterday I saw that prices during peak hours would be doubled (IIRC). Today, it's just a generic message that prices will go up significantly.

If you want to make money, work in big tech. If you have an insatiable itch to build something (product, business), start a company or startup.

Took a look at StepBible. Looks really cool. My email is in my profile if you wanted to connect.

I tried using Deepseek with Claude Code and it under performed. The use I was referring to was within a product and I feel it's a lot of value for the cost. https://api-docs.deepse…

That’s okay, IMO. Ultimately it’s the readers responsibility to apply their own intelligence. But the app should not misquote scripture itself.

It’s pretty polished but you’re asking the wrong person. Feedback has been positive so far :).

Philosophically, I don’t believe we should outsource the accuracy of scripture to any single entity (let alone a for profit secular one). So it’s less about model choice and more a…

Very true. The verses selected come from a tool call. The LLM queries the app for relevant verses. It picks the keywords - so perhaps there’s bias there but the verses are handed t…

Comment #49122614
You’re correct. The hard line for me is ensuring that any scripture presented to the user is verified correct. LLMs can’t be trusted in this regard. One feature of the app is that …

Huge difference while both are competing. But it’s a huge risk in a market with such high cost of entering. If either divests then it rapidly degrades.

I’ve been using v4 flash for an app I’m building [1] and it’s amazing how cost effective and good it is coming from having always used gpt, opus and sonnet models. It’s so cost eff…

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying but I said before any of this mess, and just dealing with the ticket purchasing experience, that this would be the last World Cup I attend.…

The experience interacting with FIFA is so terrible already. I can only imagine how much worse it would be if it turned into a profit machine.

Tobacco is a good example. Legislation that you could not smoke inside or nearby buildings did a lot to curb usage. What’s challenging now is that corporate interest in government …

I agree with everything the article says. I think there are two questions that we should be asking. 1. Can we point to a time when Capitalism peaked in terms of a balance of maxima…

They employ 3-4 people to man their drive through. No wonder it's such a great experience. Subconsciously, I think I pick CFA over alternatives, in part, to not have to deal with p…
