Be realistic, demand the impossible.
"I demand a purple unicorn build the things I want to." Now what?

It would be a deep irony if LLMs ended up ushering in the social rupture that never arrived in the industrial era. When the pigs turn hogs and refuse to share even the scraps, they shouldn’t be surprised if the system they depend on becomes their undoing.
We should all hope so. It's clear that mass surveillance, the vast psyops architecture including social media platforms, autonomous drone warfare, Starlink & Neuralink, the whole Silicon Valley project in general is intended to have everyone eventually so discombobulated and "interfered with" that they can't even tell they're experiencing exploitation that should cause discomfort and radicalization (and quickly dispa…
It sounds like you have not read Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut.
E.g. a Terragonlabs subscription is 25/month for 3 concurrent tasks and 50/month for 10.
7 USD/day? That's ~200/month -- isn't that just very expensive? I am probably missing something. E.g. a Terragonlabs subscription is 25/month for 3 concurrent tasks and 50/month for 10.
I’ll check the Terragonlabs option.
Lots of options for startups right now, selling pickaxes! I’m waiting for a better terminal experience, personally. I can’t deal with 30+ poorly named windows. I need to be able to search for that one thread I was working on yesterday…

This technology should be liberatory, and allow us all to work less while enjoying the same standard of living. We've all contributed in its development by creating the whole corpus of the internet, without which it could never have been bootstrapped. The only reason we can't expect this is that we live under a system that is arranged for the sole benefit of the owners of capital, and have been convinced that this is…
> we live under a system that is arranged for the sole benefit of the owners of capital, and have been convinced that this is an immutable state of affairs What alternative do you propose?
Realistically, if you have 300M, you and your direct family are settled for life. So, I want to propose 1B cap on net worth, if its more than that for 12 months straight, surplus goes to government, if your net worth is down after that, government obliges to return it partially to make it to 1B.
People, who are eager building things and innovating, will keep building regardless, power hungry will try to find other ways to enrich themselves, but eventually they will give up (e.g. having 10 kids, each with 1B net worth)
Pandora's box is open; we're moving towards a world where white collar workers will be working 24/7 and they'll be expected to do so. It won't matter if I'm washing the dishes, walking the dog, driving to the supermarket, picking up my kids from school. I'll always be switched on, on my phone, continuously talking to an LLM, delivering questionable features and building meaningless products, destroying in the process…
I have my very fast macbook pro at my desk in my office, and I use tmux and tailscale and git worktrees and I’ve built a notification setup like this author. Thanks to tailscale and ssh I can vibecode on the go from my phone with this setup. While it’s great to leave a task running, no matter what I do I can’t achieve the type of high quality work on the go that I can when I’m sitting at my desk. For me working on a…

If you are already paying $200-500/m… and you are doing the work of 10 people… I can totally see the value. I’ll check the Terragonlabs option.

Same! Even colored tabs would go a long way for me.

I've been writing software for 30 years, a part of it had success in the sense of being widely known and adopted for a long time. Writing software is difficult, consumes time and is difficult as you get older to focus the needed time away from other matters like a professional life and family. With LLM, my productivity suddenly went up x25 and was able to produce at a speed that I had never known. I'm not a developer…
What tool do you use, which languages? Could you give us an example of something you’ve built and how you did it 25 times faster?
