I don't understand the hate about Oscar, even Stallone himself seems to believe it was a bad idea career wise, but I always liked it!

It'd need to be vertically integrated from OS to user space apps, and restricting what can be installed. I'm not sure to understand the proposed solution here, but it seems someone could just use a different web browser client who

That works well for controlled devices like phones, tablets, and TVs, but it’s much harder on desktops unless you expect parents to become IT administrators.

This isn’t going to generate billions in additional revenue. That is a huge exaggeration. I do agree with your underlying argument, though. It will likely help them gain market share for hosting web applications, which is increasing with LL

Bubbles can be great for short-term returns. I just hope pension funds and other long-term investors don’t end up buying into them.

It's basically the confidence and being blunt. Pretty much like that Office Space scene when main character meets the Bobs.

Looking back it seems like a very bad deal.

Limits are beneficial. They should be treated as a design feature, not just a stopgap. When something is abundant, people tend to waste it. I’m perfectly happy with my base subscriptions. I have Claude Code and Codex monthly subs, plus a ye

I pretty much only use Google for news searches these days. Even then, it’s mostly just to get a surface-level view before cross-referencing with other engines for anything important. There’s so much content getting buried now. If you’re lo

I agree with parent. I'm not sure where your stance is coming from. From what I hear, most enterprise AI deployments are seat-based subscriptions with annual commitments.

Maybe they found something outside the program, but your cynical take is way more entertaining.

I’m genuinely curious what the hell you’re talking about. Did I miss some news where Coinbase literally stole people’s money, or at least did something that could reasonably be called evil?

That's ridiculous. You're making it sound like they were working for Nazi Germany. Have some empathy for people losing their jobs because of upper management’s incompetence.

Your sentiment should be redirected to the leadership team and execs, not the engineers themselves.

I think a lot of LLMs are trained on corporate communications, and since companies have been copying each other for years, it’s hard to tell them apart.

They'll have to reduce these 1:1s and any formal meetings to a minimum (e.g. once a quarter), and deal less with career growth and people conflicts. They'll switch to async communications for everything, and ideally have a bot tha

It should be obvious that these services are operating at a loss. The monthly subscriptions especially, but I’m even skeptical that the linear API pricing is sustainable. It feels like a classic “drug dealer” model to me. Get everyone hooke

The point is that wrappers matter. Orchestration, tool calls, reasoning loops, system prompts, agentic capabilities. Output is different, quality is different. This is the moat for AI frontier companies.

Max out on their terms, not yours. Their bet is that most people will not fill up 100% of their weekly usage for 4 consecutive weeks of their monthly plan, because they are humans and the limits impede long running tasks during working hour

You’re not really paying for the model, you’re paying for the tool, the ecosystem, and the application layer around it. Sonnet 4.6 in CC doesn’t behave the same way as Sonnet 4.6 in Antigravity.
