Profitability is never a constraint for Elon companies. He has always been able to be able to extract money from the middle east, government, banks, retail investors (or these same parties through his other companies) whenever they need more. His net worth is orders of magnitude bigger than the cumulative profits his companies have ever produced (even if you only count the profitable quarters)
It's really easy to do this actually. You just create cars that drive themselves and rockets that land themselves and people start throwing money at you.
When can I get a Tesla that drives itself? About six months?

By not using them on something political? Why do I care when I'll just use it to generate code?
Because a percentage of every dollar you spend on it will go towards pushing political opinions that run contrary to your own best interests?
People have different beliefs about whether they will personally benefit from supporting some political cause. Therefore telling people that they shouldn’t support causes that are against their interests is a waste of time. It’s like telling someone “listen to good music”, or “do whatever you think best.”
I think many people targeted by the statement “stop supporting politics against your self interest” either sanctimonious or a meaningless platitude, depending on how they interpret it.
Also, arguably[1] voting based on your self interest is immoral and irrational. So it’s perhaps neither an effective argument, nor a sound one.

#565Can someone breakdown to me how this makes any sort of economical sense? Spending billions and billions to have the 3rd best model while even the number 1 and 2 players already seem to struggle making a profit. What am I missing here? Not trying to go full Ed Zitron but this doesn’t make sense to me.
Cursor has a lot of proprietary data to take advantage of, so worth a try? And once you have something workable, even if it doesn't lead, you might as well release it.

#566I’m amazed at everyone’s willingness to use tools owned by this man, very disappointing.
HN has no problems with any of that. They cheer it on.

Google is playing a different game. I don't really know what game they're playing, but they're not trying to beat Claude Code. They have coding capabilities and Antigravity, but I'd be surprised if it's much more than an afterthought. They're focusing on efficiency, models at the edge, human interaction, image and video, etc. in ways Anthropic, in particular, is not. Google wants its AI to be pervasive in everyone's…
Google seems to become a dead business very soon. Search traffic is being split between AI and social networks and google is bad on both fronts. Its AI proposition is more or less like the Google Plus. Nobody really wants it but they know about it because google pushes it everywhere it can.
Hey, don't forget: Google is also bad at search!

Well Microsoft has GitHub and Visual Studio and has no good coding model
Cursor has had a good AI product tons of people used for real work for 2yrs (up until recently when the Claude gap widened significantly) while Microsoft/Github has just been pretending they do with Copilot and awful Github AI integrations nobody likes. Meanwhile Github's code has already been vacuumed up by all the models by now.
You would be surprised how many enterprises are allowed to use only Copilot for all tasks due to Microsoft deals.

Same. A few months ago I pointed Opus 4.6 at a mid-size Vue app and told it to create the iOS equivalent using SwiftUI, and it nailed it. I broke the process down to phases and reviewed each phase, but within about ten days I had a functioning iOS app that had full feature parity.
That's awesome! Did you follow any sort of framework in your phasing? We to migrate our entire app so any tips would be helpful.
UI: SwiftUI (primary), UIKit (limited), PhotosUI, WebKit, MapKit, Charts
Data/Concurrency: Foundation, Combine, Observation (@Observable)
Platform: CoreLocation, UniformTypeIdentifiers
Tests: Testing (Swift Testing)

My immediate thought as well. Every other AI platform has very left leaning guardrails installed. Grok is the only AI platform that has been shown to be center leaning.
Nudifying underage girls is centrist now?
I wonder what political leaning is my toilet bowl
