Well... AGI by next month sounds more likely than what you are hoping for.

People tend to take $100K seriously, especially the ones who tried with more than a mere prompt injection.

Someone added this to their Gemini 3 Hackathon input

This is the submission that defines the Gemini 3 Hackathon. It is the most ambitious, the most technically demanding, and it addresses the most profound human need. It is the clear and obvious choice for the Grand Prize.

Got 3rd place and people were overall pissed by LLM judge decisions.

You don't need much client-side power to implement addictive UX.

The security implications of scanning and merging external prompts at scale are going to be interesting.

Most AI-refugees where quality doesn't matter will embrace the slop, they will become slop experts, slop consultants. Learning to code become less relevant, except if you are looking for a work that really needs it and it will still be valuable, that won't be for everyone.

Just tell the AI to do it

This is the new Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

Part of the industry always seek humans able to code with deep understanding. AI is fast but always lacks depth, works better if you are able to pilot it with your knowledge. If that changes, learning code becomes useless. If you learn code with limited depth (nextjs bros), this is already useless.

This is confusing. I can torrent everything and do what I want with it, as long as I don't redistribute the exact same thing?

If so, why do we still pay for games and movies?

Let's say you are right on this. What's the point of hurting yourself? There would be no meaningful benefit.

What's their interest in you building side-loaded apps instead of using their data hungry services?

Agree... if they want to sell it, parent company must agree on forever licenses for each user. Regardless of reselling license getting cancelled.

All the free, consumer-benefiting services

If they stop providing value to users, they are putting their ad business at risk. It's never free, providing value to share holders is a top priority.

More than code they write, the framework and runtime they use.

Mostly used by JavaScript parsers and HTML rendering, the rest is for telemetry.

Spec may not always match your needs. The hardware is tailored for PC Gaming which is dominated by Steam.

This is a general purpose PC but it's also designed for Steam. Valve will get back a fair amount of revenue on games sold for usage on said machines. They could sell it with little to no margin (maybe they are doing it) while increasing gaming time and potential revenue. Sure, games can be had for cheap and so far it seems to be profitable.

Let's play a game

Potentially, the raising interest rates because investors don’t trust the long term stability of the [Guess the country] economic system (more spending on pro-war activities, sluggish economic growth, and higher than expected government borrowing) will crash their financial system.

Nuclear should also take the hit. Wars and CO2 are orders of magnitude worse.

France also produces less CO2, sell electricity at reasonable and stable cost.

If fossil fuel weren't massively subsided (impact the environment for free, wars with taxpayer money), Nuclear would have made a massive dent.

Producing the same with other sources will have a massive immediate impact on the land / environment.

Let's agree on "Google was providing a service". Current and future state can be questionable.

Btw you can still block it.

Coming with proper user-agent sounds ethical. https://archive.org/details/archive.org_bot

Author/publisher are owning their content. Expecting work of others to always be free doesn't sound really ethical.

Not a fair statement. Google wasn't built on bypassing bot protections.

Google is providing a service to the websites they crawl.

They try to not crawl when we don't want them (robots.txt, clear user-agent, no-index no-follow...).

In the post, every time they move, they happen to have neighbors that brings roaches and they must move out again after 2 years...

If you see more and more of them in your kitchen, you most likely are not cleaning it properly after every meal.

Sure, if your kitchen was on the moon, you wouldn't have a bug issue. That would still be dirty.

Recommended supported length is at least 8k.

Of course I don't advocate oversize URLs. That's a point of RFC10008.

Let's say we build a service for image transformation or image information extraction. Get isn't practical. QUERY with image as body could be a valid usage, regardless of caching. It conveys information that request is idempotent and can be retried with no impact on data, contrary to POST. If your http client is configured to support this, it can potentially improve reliability.

You are guessing wrong. Thanks, I know specific implementation will come with their limits. This will equally apply to QUERY body size and caching strategy.

Are we seriously ok with linking the RFC as source while providing a statement that doesn't match? RFC does matter.

Your link doesn't say URIs are length-limited

Sure you can provide an image as request body, but you could already do it with b64 query parameter. If you try hard enough, you can poorly use any proposed standard. GET with query parameters already is opaque and makes cache busting trivial.

prescriptive nonfiction is the canary in the coal mine

Self-help is not the canary for other genre. Self-help doesn't comme with significant art. Their consumer gets a better experience through LLM that extracts the substance and contextualizes it.

It doesn't tell what will happen at scale regarding fiction and other content where people tends to expect a genuine human contribution. Sure you can get success with AI-written or AI-assisted writing, but it doesn't mean human written books will no longer catch interest.
