"Look, guys, our model is dangerous too..!!"

I don't see how this can be any worse than normal ads. Much like how Truman finds his wife Meryl odd with her strange injections of products, the ads will become obnoxious and opaque as well. Another example is how YouTubers often embed their ads into the videos themselves, which routinely gets skipped by users as second nature (check the "most played section" on timeline to see bumps where ads end).

If I ask for deep research on which running shoes to get, it's the comparison of products I'm after. Why is A better than B, etc? I don't see how adds could come into that scope either, unless ChatGPT somehow is lying (which would make me swap to a better non-hallucinating model).

If I ask "who is the most influential Swedish poet" and ChatGPT starts blabbering about some book-company who sells books from that author: okay, maybe I do want to buy it.

So: what's the problem?

Not good enough for high-end, not cheap enough to be for low-end. Next!

What's wrong with git?

Selfplugging a bit here: clai[0] sends only exacly what you want it to send.

Worse than GLM-5.2, much more expensive than deepseek v4. Tough bargain.

As if I wasn't apathetic enough about democracy. The only voting bill worth caring about is the one in the wallet. Then you can be the source of the corruption, instead of the sink. Every man for themselves.

Not looking great for an upcoming IPO

Depends on the harness I imagine. If there's some sort of "post run" hook I'm sure it can be added there. Or, if the harness is open source, a PR to add it would work too.

You use an agentic harness which terminates with bell character[0]. This lights up tmux, clearly indicating that it's done.

If intelligence becomes something people can only rent from a few closed institutions

Just your your natural born intelligence..? It's worked for the past 10k+ years, I'm sure it will work for some time longer

International customers might not be so keen on buying Anthropic, xAi or OpenAI products if they can be disrupted by the US government like this. The market within USA is surely not large enough to live up to the financial promises that keep this AI bubble growing.

Does the White House want the AI bubble to pop..? Incredibly dumb move.

That's the point: they would have. Now they spend money on tokens instead (and a equity to me who set up their environment)

It most certainly will replace software engineers. What's missing is, as the article suggests, the "Delivery" bit. But that's not the realm of software engineers, that's the realm of DevOps/SRE/Cloud engineers.

I work as a cloud engineer and have been contacted by multiple non-engineering friends who have now been able to create their pet projects from scratch in different languages and have it running locally, as webapps and native apps. So what they are missing is a platform to easily deploy and maintain their projects, much like a "normal" developer would. Right now it's quite tedious to set up this scaffolding, but it's absolutely possible with AGENTS.md, skills and rigid hollistic tests. Once done, non-technical people can continue developing independently without hiring any software engineers by simply telling claude/codex what they want. Claude/codex will then be able to make judgement calls based on the preset architecture, which will guide the non-technical user.

So in my anecdotal case, AI has already replaced several software engineers. Once scaffolding like this is productized, I suspect that greenfield projects can be managed entirely from a product standpoint using agentic coders + platform engineering. And that is today. Imagine in 5 years.

This got me thinking about the "simulation theory":

If our universe is simulated, it must be possible to snapshot the entire state for one iteration (however time now is quantized, open question). "... From here, it is a small leap to see that if π contains all possible files, why are we wasting exabytes of space storing those files, when we could just look them up in π!" (from pifs, above)

This means that not only does a singular snapshot of our universe exists in pi, but every single one does

The information for our entire universe's simulation is stored in pi (and every other number like it)

I can't justify a pricetag like that when deepseek v4 pro is $0.003625/1M for cache hit, $0.435 for cache miss and $0.87 /1M tokens for output.

For the token cost of explaining some task to Fable, deepseek v4 pro is able to solve the same task many times over.

I'm missing the concurrency model.

I don't understand why Google does this. If I can run this locally, why would I need a subscription or use any inference provider, including Google..?

Scorched earth tactics to make anthropic and openai IPO fail?

Perhaps best to simply declare indefinite-mortem

Great, so now chefs are being replaced too..!

Hey at least Copilot AI Model Providers have 100% uptime, so there's that

One day I wish to be in a stable enough place that it's possible for me to pursue activities like these. It's a true privilege

Good! Now please remove dependency of alphabet + apple for bank apps, and we're golden.

What happened to gemini 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4..?

Do we really need another one of these..?

Oh boy will this be dated in 2 years

Lack of extensive standard library, for one. But yeah Java is pretty great. Spring boot/quarkus especially

I read this, as my computer crashed while compiling a 1000 dependency CRUD rust app, for the fourth time today. Then I take a deep breath.

Captcha suggestion: force users to write something offensive/vulgar (we have a few "banned words"). Or to take a stance in Israel/Palestine.

Whatever the response is, it'll unlikely be from an LLM.

Genius! Automate the flow for making customers spend money.
