I guess this will happen soon. There are two catalysts needed for this to happen:

1. Evals that can quickly tell you how much downside there is to switching 2. Something like OpenRouter that can help you run those evals quickly

Now #2 is starting to become popular, and I think we'll soon see more people adopting a model-agnostic approach. Of course, there will still be high-intelligence use cases where nothing comes close to Claude or GPT.

Here's an anecdotal thought: AML laws surprisingly work well to discourage offline transactions by tax-paying citizens, helping maximize tax reporting and improve tax collection. As a result, governments continue to strengthen and expand laws in that direction.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

I don't think any company is cutting headcount because of AI. I think that's just what they say. The reality is that they're facing a cash crunch due to a bad economy. And if you state a cash crunch as the reason, your stock will fall or VCs will run away. But surprisingly, if you state AI as the reason for layoffs, your stock will rise or VCs will get excited. Same thing, just different clothes, and it works.

Sorry, but that’s not the correct analogy. There’s such a thing as taste, and only 1 out of 10 people can get it right, while 9 out of 10 can get code right.

This reminds me of the book title "Fooling some of the people, all of the time".

This is impressive! Thanks for sharing.

Sorry for the bad experience. The blocking of Firefox is not intentional. It's a decade old code and seems to be breaking on Firefox.

Sorry, the app is not available anywhere, it's old code. But you can play it on web-browsers.

Sorry for the bad experience. This was build many years ago, and those nudges to ask user to download the apps are from that time. Though, there's no app, the code is not updated since then.

"cd -" is a lifesaver. Thank you so much for this.

The most sensible continent on this planet...

I think every moderator on every platform is struggling with this issue, and no one has succeeded so far, so it doesn’t seem that easy.

I think a simple solution (and one that eventually every content platform will have to adopt) is to allow users to tag AI-generated spam. I think that a few years from now this feature should be the norm, like existing basic features on forums such as upvote, downvote, favorites, hide, etc. I know this will require much more development effort than simply blocking new accounts from posting at all. But on the other hand, you can’t block new accounts forever.

Thanks for sharing. This is very interesting.

Watching this, I realised one thing: Germans, once upon a time phenomenally intelligent folks, got eroded by a bunch of stupid politicians’ ambitions.

BTW, this deal went south when Anthropic argued that AI systems should never make kill decisions without meaningful human oversight.

To state the obvious, I think when corruption and power in government go unchecked, companies eventually end up facing situations like this. It’s almost like making a deal with the devil.

At the beginning, they’re usually doing it for the money — and maybe some level of patriotism. Eventually they find themselves involved in things so ugly that they can’t really stomach it anymore. At the same time, they can’t easily back out either.

Then a new CEO comes in and thinks the previous guy was too soft, "He couldn’t handle it, but I can."

And the cycle continues.

He makes good arguments, but so did all my managers throughout. I think EMs telling ICs to stay in the IC role is an age-old talk. To me, it sounds a bit like “the grass is greener on the other side.”

Although, I’m not disregarding his points. I’m just saying that this article feels less about the challenges of becoming an EM and more about the challenges of stepping down from EM to IC.

Modern spin: In a closed society where everybody is guilty, the only crime is not being in power.

That's a wrong move I guess (you willingly take pain but no one else suffers). The right one would be to get an Anthropic subscription. And an even better one would be to donate to the Democrats.

Also, who thinks that striking this down now is too little, too late because the rest of the world has already imposed retaliatory tariffs? And what’s the guarantee that they will lower them?

Does this mean that Make in America subsidies will have to double? Make in America only made sense when offset by high tariffs.

Hey HN! Newbie here,

I recently came across AI email assistant Google CC, where you can add an AI to a thread via CC to help draft replies or provide input. For those who’ve used tools like this, how useful are they in practicality? Google CC has a waitlist but it's the only one I could find that is free. So, I was also wondering if alternatives are worth paying for?
