That would sound very reasonable except this is the same what people said first about Windows and then Android crushing Apple.

And yet it's Apple that controls the top of the market and has the best margins in the business.

This is the same position OpenAI and Anthropic have right now.

Could this market be different? Maybe. But the status quo could be preserved as well.

YouTube empowers millions of creators around the world.

It's more about the fact that at a sufficiently large scale any platform faces the same issues. Some creators are terrible without breaking the rules, people argue, etc.

Few founders do this and the ones who do are solving their own problems. For Anthropic it's primarily hiring.

But as a PR person I can guarantee you it's not possible to go around such perception shifts through money alone.

On the Moon or even Mars it's a bit irrelevant because you're not following the Sun anyway.

But let's talk sci-fi: what if there is a habitable colony where the day is 26h30m. What do you actually do?

They only struggle to make a profit because of investments into their future, basically: training, aggressive hiring of AI researchers. Anthropic seems to have 90% margin on their API pricing and all enterprise customers have to use this.

And the reason they can do this is because they can create a $1Tr company in 5 years, so they know the investment will pay off.

Why Elon wants his own model so much is a good question with many possible answers, but if Cursor/xAI can produce a truly good model at competitive pricing I don't see why many people won't jump on it.

In many other regions of the world if you ask someone to connect you with a potential investor they demand a success fee. In SV, they do not. Because they're playing a very long iterated game and understand, that even if they don't make a bank themselves, knowing future-successful people will be a great benefit.

Not sure. They were cheaper than DigitalOcean, to the point where 1 DO instance cost would give you 3 on Hetzner, but now they're at parity, and DO seems to have a better product.

I think you tried to narrow down my general statement. What I'm saying is: not all countries and their regulatory bodies are equal. India is a pretty top-down country with quite a protectionist policy.

When I open Gmail, whether an app or on the web, it already has the latest emails loaded. When I open Mail.app, I have to wait for them to download.

This is why Gmail is nicer in many areas.

Seems to me the route that these agents took is sort of exactly how a group of people would collaborate on building an RTS?

Building a Hacker News client has long been a rite of passage because the read-only API is freely available, cool to see more experiments like this.

I believe at this point pretty much half of the users might have their own client :)
