Nothing good is allowed to be acknowledged.

What makes you say this?

When you see a group of people being critical, you can either see it as a “bummer”, or you can see it as people critically thinking about a thing.

Is it really more useful to have everyone expressing how much they like something instead of identifying problems?

Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I’ll answer. It’s not worth the (token) cost. It’s too inefficient. It’s brute-forcing solutions to problems by spending more and more tokens.

And the trade off for that productivity is relying on a completely untrustworthy company/product that gets more expensive and uncertain by the week while your skills erode.

When the motorcycle manufacturers keep making each new model worse and more expensive and the government keeps trying to ban them.

Have you considered getting better at coding so you can build stuff yourself instead of waiting for models you might not be able to get access to anymore?

Using LLMs for development is not efficient. All of the problems these companies are having trying to provide enough compute and energy are proof.

Understanding the actual problems we are trying to solve with code and efficiently coming up with solutions (essentially, pre-LLM development) will always be better than wastefully brute forcing solutions with LLMs.

AIslop is of higher quality than devslop on average.

How did you come to that conclusion? That goes against everything I've heard from people who understand development. Every resource I can find about AI vs non-AI development comes to the exact opposite conclusion you did.

You must be joking.

Funny that you came to this conclusion and then posted the comment anyway.

ICE is just enforcing law.

"This changed in June 2025, just weeks after White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, reportedly frustrated with the slow increase in ICE arrests, called the head of every ICE Field Office into a room in Washington, DC and ordered them to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.” Following this meeting, the Trump administration launched its first splashy raid of an American city, sending hundreds of agents into Los Angeles and sparking fiery confrontations between protestors and federal agents."

That's what you're talking about when you say "just enforcing the law"?

Also they're enforcing the law regardless of the skim color.

"Publicly available ICE and research datasets show clear shifts in who is being arrested and detained—large growth in interior arrests and detention of people without U.S. criminal convictions and major variation across states—but they do not provide a consistent, complete public breakdown of ICE arrests and detention by race and nationality at the county level, so any precise county-level racial or national origin tallies are not available from the cited public sources." [1]

So how do you know that? Are you just guessing? You're accusing me of the exact thing you're doing. Honestly it sounds to me like you're the one suffering from some serious brainrot.

You either have lost touch with reality so far to be unable to understand what "oppressed" means or you're just parotting someone else who suffers from that affliction.

This 100% applies to you. If you can’t see ICE actions as oppressive, you’ve definitely lost touch with reality.

That is definitely not what everybody else does. Some people try harder to find the things that they enjoy doing that provide value to others.

I think it’s just storing embeddings now.

Their entire angle here is that Siri AI itself is private/secure. Siloing data from the thing that they’re advertising as private and secure wouldn’t make sense.

You think criticism is a sign of being in a bubble?

Nothing new about that play. They have been heading in this direction for a very long time now.

And do you think that’s how everyone should feel? If not, how is it relevant to people not liking what Google is doing?

You’re forgetting the energy part of the equation.

The point of open weight models is not having to rely on specific providers for them.

It sounds like you’re both agreeing that windows should be controlled by either the user OR the OS, not both.

You're asking why they wouldn't pivot to making a regular EV, but I think the Apple way is to ask why they SHOULD make a regular EV.

They could do a lot of things that would make money. The hard part is figure out which ones to say no to.

I believe AWS forwards requests (for Clause models) to Anthropic’s servers. They don’t host those models.

Do you not feel concern about you and everybody else deciding to put ALL of their eggs into one basket like this?

Sometimes you have to stand for something even if it’s inconvenient.

Or maybe you’re too trusting of companies who have already proven to not be trustworthy?

Flattening the discussion to “everything is actually exactly the same” isn’t helpful. This situation is not the same as a person driving a vehicle.

Just because you can find good things on these services doesn’t mean it isn’t worth talking about their problems.

I will find this often-repeated argument compelling only when someone can prove to me that the human mind works in a way that isn't 'combining stuff it learned in the past'.

This is the definition of the word ‘novel’.

Some examples of random crap I deal with: figuring out contracts, their meaning/implication to situations, and deciding on a course of action

This doesn’t sound like bullshit you should hand off to an AI. It sounds like stuff you would care about.

Nobody in these comments has said that. You keep arguing against something that isn't being said here.
