    I'm no OpenAI apologist here, but I appreciate this perspective. Apple definitely played their timing right for maximum pre-IPO damage. It gives them tremendous negotiating leverag…

    Laws around breaking and entering date back to WELL before mechanical locks were commonplace or even affordable to residences.

    I get this sometimes when I wake up at night and once or twice when looking in the mirror. A persistent notion that "wow, this is really weird to be in a body, what a weird experie…

    Quality of output of both Fable and Opus seems to have gone down quite a bit over the past week. Many mistakes.

    Generally the industry DOES lobby for regulation. In a deregulated industry, there's a rush towards the bottom - which means trust in the industry implodes. They don't want that. I…

    I reckon that if you replace "find" with "make", you might be closer to the truth about what this data will be used for.

    Pretty foolish of them to play so unethically only to lose such a big account and now gain an open-and-shut lawsuit that will seriously damage their ability to compete in hardware …

    I'd say it's because we're tasking ourselves with dumb stuff. No one half-asses building a shelter that keeps their family alive, or throwing a new favorite bowl on the pottery whe…

    I think this is a larger question we should be asking. YES, we can build this world: a world where robots do our chores, serve our coffee, check us out at the grocery store, and le…

    Knowing the cost of home ownership, it’s not unlikely to imagine the reported damages are well within what he’s asking. Given that repair work, filing paper with the courts, etc is…

    Perhaps it's just regional, but I've been noticing more and more people saying "chat" to describe ANY ai chat interface including ChatGPT. They might have a Kleenex problem on thei…

    Doubtful these clowns even have commercial insurance for these rentals. What a deceitful and dangerous way to build a business - to save (what?) a few thousand per rental?

    I had the opportunity to live with Drew back in 2006 when he, I, and another pair of YC founders Adam and Matt were living together and hacking away at our own startups in Cambridg…

    Love the concept! Some feedback: I went to sign up to give it a go, but the set up process left me feeling a bit untrusting - so I backed out for now. I'd prefer more explanation a…

    I agree with this sentiment. And it's hard to change. But there are plenty of examples of people exiting the normalized system and choosing a different life. Even small changes can…

    It seems strange to me that our laws allow someone to declare personal bankruptcy to avoid paying on liabilities, while somehow maintaining interests in other companies… resulting …

    Fin is actually Intercom’s branded agent, so if Anthropic is using their own model for support at all isn’t clear.

    Love it! I appreciate the ethos of doing more with existing hardware. Adding an actual touchscreen would add real COGs to a macbook, and many potential failure points. Using the ex…
