How will Anthropic be able to rewrite that in Rust and use it for marketing?

There is no way to stop these so just lets get going.

Except for the times they've tried before and public outrage stopped it. So this defeatist attitude works against us.

How is CC a success when they still have to force subscribers to use it instead of it being a paid product?

Yea it's too bad these poor scrappy startups cannot afford engineers to build decent software.

it's not an European company serving the LLM

That's a pretty big downside if data privacy and sharing is one of the main concerns.

These improvements are quite promising and I'm looking forward to giving that a spin once it is released.

Will the Windows side for 0.17.x get some compiler improvements as well or is this Linux only?

Deepseek is much cheaper so that means you spend less on CCP than on Anthropic/OpenAI. Then there are third party providers as well.

It is only allowed in unsafe blocks. As long as the unsafe blocks are few and well understood then Rust programmers can contain this to a small well defined portion of a program.

I can't tell if this comment is sarcasm or not. If you let AI run commands you don't understand (especially in production) you may end up with some nasty surprises.

Yes, if code is only a liability then just delete the code and poof liability is gone.

The ultimate piece is not revenue but profit. At some point these enormous investments will have to be earned back. Good luck with that when open weight models are also continuously improving, have cheap providers and for many are already very usable.

Yea I get that, I still wouldn't want to invest a serious amount of time on a product to build on such a platform. Best of luck though maybe it still works as a business.

Vendor lock-in with a monthly subscription where the price can change at any moment or the company may disappear along with your product. I wouldn't build my business on that.

I can't even tell whether this comment is serious or not.

Maybe Anthropic is just testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Left unchallenged (court, charge back, whatever) why change course?

The open models cannot be taken away. Anyone with the right hardware can host these. Unlike the API/subscription services where you can be banned from, may have drastic price increases or reduction of their limits.

The open models may not be as great but maybe these are good enough. AI users can switch when the prices rise before it becomes sustainable for (some) of the large LLM providers.

Isn't there a difference between: distilling specific AI input/output vs scraping whatever random AI output (with unknown input)?

Alright, if you do build something I hope you share it here. I'm always looking forward to any image editing/processing apps or techniques.

I'm interested in tools (or blog posts about this) for image editing apps. Would you mind sharing what you've build?

The cost for AI companies might be $5000 but the "essentially free" could be close to the limit of what people are willing to spend. If that's the case then enshittification will continue and/or many AI companies will never be profitable.

Inference for API or subscriptions? There is a massive price difference between the two.

Perhaps the subscription part of the business is so heavily subsidized that they have no choice but to reduce the cost.

If Claude Code truly was worth something they'd sell it instead of forcing its use with a subscription.

Check out reddit with subreddits like /r/INAT, /r/gameideas or /r/gamedesign.

Or Look at where artists hang out. This could be pixel art forums. Also contact artists that you admire directly (would need to show something here and not merely an idea obviously). Paying for an artist is also worth considering if that's an option.

You don't have to go at it alone, share your idea(s) and get a pixel artist to join.

Think about how much time you invested in to learning programming. If you're not prepared to do the same for art it's better to get someone else to do it. Especially if you don't enjoy it.

While a good post the title is a bit ambiguous. The post is about applications created using AI not applications with AI functionality embedded.

approximate any continuous function

It wouldn't surprise me if many interesting functions we'd like to approximate aren't continuous at all.

Surely they aren't selling subscriptions at a loss to gain market share either.

They could allow unlocking the phone by burying that option deep in the settings with scary warnings etc. Most people could use the device with the restrictions. The fact that this is not possible at all is greed.
