He might be referring to this? https://www.wheresyoured.at/big-tech-2tr/ That figure is $2T in the next 4 years though. $2T/year would be quite silly.

The problem is that $1500/engineer/month would be a pretty modest amount of demand for labs. OpenAI/Anthropic are basing their $1T valuations on the explosive uncapped growth of unlimited agentic token spending. On so many le

What, why? This is the web, so it has to be a solution that can handle old browser versions. Take away the old version and it's as small as it can be.

This forum is oddly hesitant to accept good news, a weird feature of online communities.

Ya, that sounds right to me. Coastal city housing is very supply constrained, part of why it's so expensive, but it is hugely in demand and provides tons of value to many by letting them live near high paying companies. Unless by &quot

What's wrong with choosing to care about coding manually then?

How do you reconcile this with Ed Zitron's reporting that just the AWS bill in 2024/2025 was more than their entire revenue? https://www.wheresyoured.at/costs/#how-much-did-anthropic-an...

The problem with this hype cycle has always been that the hyperscalers are pouring unbelievable amounts of capital into a technology that hasn't proven it can generate the revenues needed to justify that. Nvidia might have an ok P&#x2F

The task isn't "make something that you could plausibly call a pencil". It's "understand every step of how a modern pencil is produced".

That's the critical difference. You could always find some person who understood a particular piece of a complex puzzle. It's a very new, worrying thing to have pieces that no one understands.

I actually do think that Dr. Haidt is a good source for getting a fair understanding of both sides of the issue. If you've read or listened to him you'll know that it's a huge part of his ethos. Here's his rebuttal to th

Social media being bad for mental health in childhood is one of the most robust theories I've ever seen for these kind of society-wide problems. You can peruse the After Babel Substack for the evidence if you're not convinced, but

This hits the nail on the head. There's a marked difference between a JSON parser and a real world feature in a product. Real world features are complex because they have opaque dependencies, or ones that are unknown altogether. Creati

Why would that be?

Seems more like a "mega" Marshmallow Test. Instead of putting off a snack for 15 minutes they're giving up an entire year of birthday gifts for a reward years into the future.

Even if someone COULD write a great post with AI, I think the author is right in assuming that it's less likely than a handwritten one. People seem to use AI to avoid thinking hard about a topic. Otherwise, the actual writing part woul

Seriously! These two things are laughably far apart. What on earth kind of leap of logic is this?

Respectably...what?? Ed at this point is one of the most well read people on Earth for this topic. Of course he knows the difference between the companies and the technology. He goes in depth both on why he think the companies are financial

Pretty obvious that your opinions have "nothing to do with the financials".

Well absent any actual explanation from him, this is the "My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts" guy. I'm assuming he's got a pretty hefty pro-LLM bias.

Actually it's interesting that most of Ed's posts tend not to make the front page. This is the first one in a while.

It breaks so often in SPAs. Turns out that making the client-side code responsible for routing leads to a ton of fragility.
