Moat is whatever thing is stopping the next guy from simply drinking your milkshake. People conflate "I could smash this out in a weekend" with "and therefore could also build a mu…

How? Nothing stopped cypherpunks in the 90s+ from meaningfully innovating in the space. Table stakes entry for competitive LLMs runs to nation-state budget-levels. There will be no…

The only way for companies _that raise nine figures chasing decacorn status_ to survive

Agents.md is just a prompt pre-pend. This is like asking "do prompts help coding agents".

I am shocked, shocked to hear that there are ulterior motives behind age verification and that the stated benefit is in fact exactly the opposite of what happens irl. Shocked!

Though this is how it will stay, and it won't be changing back. Anthropic has understood clearly for a while that they need to capture the stack. They will subsidise Max for as lon…

"To the manifest glory of Rome, greatest of all cities, forever shall it stand" - circa the collapse of Roman empire. Or something like it. NGL it sounds like so much bleating of t…

Oh man, if only. The top brass driving this screaming frenzied MORE AI crusade will never face the firing line no matter what happens. It will either be a) "mistakes were made" and…

> As the cost of producing software collapses, demand for it will expand. This is a non sequitur. Jervons paradox doesn't apply here. No-one is sitting around going "you know what …

"Not native" doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily (dot com is available for a few grand). Concept is solid, an ingenious name even.

I wish I could better articulate the rage I feel that is accumulating strand by strand, year by year, for the corporate over-lording, abusive, user-hostile, person-hostile practice…

This "just keep leaning into the outrage machine" is a terrifyingly effective strategy. I realize lobbying groups have had the "we only need to slip past once" strategy forever, bu…

Or a Torment Nexus!!

> People will bear crazy stuff and still show up to work Because the "in the real world" alternative is so much worse. In theory: "Workers unite!", in practice: "Lose your home".

I like this. I'm genuinely curious whether you could create a Delve [0] for security. Companies could pay for the "security review and package and dashboard" virtue signal, put an …

No, just a product they'll pay for
