    Not really. Grad students are already essentially working for free.

    This makes no sense. To believe this you have to think that the models are somehow being overfit explicitly on academic mathematics and it doesn’t carry over at all to more practic…

    So… your model is 100% vibes based. Got it.

    Anthropic: "Look at how dangerous our models are!" Anthropic next week: "Why did you ban our models Mr Trump Daddy?"

    A lot of people are slowly realizing that code generation was not the bottleneck in their internal development process, and waving a magic wand to make that go faster doesn't actua…

    This is also at the end of the tokenmaxxing era, so I'm not sure I would draw a straight line out from here. A LOT of companies are clamping down on token costs right now.

    A couple anecdotes: I noticed that were a lot of traditional, non-tech companies interviewing for AI engineers in the Feb/March timeframe that have halted hiring in those roles ent…

    I don’t get it. There’s no moat here. OpenRouter isn’t hard to rebuild.

    Yes, but the market prefers store bought bread despite the fact that homemade bread is: cheaper, tastes better, and nutritionally better. That's the exact point. Homemade bread sho…

    Agents will make all of these migrations trivial. I expect margin collapse across a lot of tech darlings.

    There’s actually a strong case that agents will erode cloud providers’ margins because the lock in migration cost will be much lower in the future. No one ever migrated before beca…

    So then your argument would be that we could see a bifurcation in the SP493 where those who adopt AI see increasing margins and those who do not have their margins crushed. What's …

    I can't take these indexes seriously when Germany is about to outright ban an entire political party. The US takes the first amendment very seriously.

    This assumes that AGI is not a winner takes all or winner takes most scenario. We just don't know that. If RSI actually happens, then it really could be winner takes all, and in th…

    You are delusional if you think China is going to let Europe have access to Mythos level models for free.

    The choice of the name Sol is interesting for those Raised By Wolves fans out there… “Praise Sol!”

    I’m surprised Claude worked on this… in the not too distant past my attempts to build human-CAPTCHAs triggered safety refusals. What model did you use?

    That's fine, but there are a lot of used EVs that have more features in the low-mid 20s now. You really have to want an _EV_ truck.

    Slate was far more compelling when we still had the federal EV incentive. Now... you can get a far better equipped Ford Maverick hybrid just around $30k (maybe less with dealer dis…

    You can think that AI is a transformative technology and still come to the conclusion that the AI industry's economics don't pan out. I do think that we will eventually develop AGI…
