Yeah, I agree, but what I am challenging is the idea that creativity IS the moat. If anything, there are several _moats_ with Creativity (Big C) being one of them.

I think the moat(s) is anything the models still are nowhere near performing on their own, OR, getting them to do that is seriously expensive. I don't know about Astra, and have used Fable 5.1 only slightly (And burned 85% of my 5 hour

The irony that you sent an xkcd link to prove your point is not lost on me. > Also, for any given fact, tons of people aren't aware. Double points for Gryffindor.

I had Fable bail on me because I used the word autopilot on a project. Changed to something unrelated, and off we went.

The problem is that they are not solving the problem they ought to be solving. I don't want Shakespeare, I want Bob the builder. Half of my work is telling claude how to behave. I'm pretty certain they have enough _data_ to realiz

From my point of view the issue is that there are too many things wrong with Fable, making it seriously not worth the money. For starters I don't know if it is an artifact of the model or something by design, but the level of gratuitou

I'm not sure about the x, but the first thing that arises from that is, I feel like in my case it's way higher than 2. The 2nd thing is, how do I measure that. --- In my case, the details of my work (Kinda DevOps, kinda Senior Dev

Dude. Not even your blog post is clear enough. I had to right click one of the images and open it in another tab in order to be able to discern _anything_ on the image.

I don't think that works at all times; actually I think it only works when starting a conversation. In the middle, "Why ~did you~ while action as an export in Lisp <this happened>?" needs a certain level of mind gynmast

Assuming you mean uninstall, yeah I did the same because of that. I wasn getting a constant panel from them regarding using the backup feature, that will just keep re appearing. It was so bad I even moved to GBoard. Not the same, but I&#x27

What is means is that now hiring is symmetrically broken. Hiring has always been broken. May be not completely at the FAANG level, but below that, and more importantly across the globe it's seriously broken, and there's a high v

Stop hooks are a world of pain. I recently went on a deep dive about them with sonnet / opus. I wanted to detect if a file or an analysis was the result of the last turn and act upon that. From my experience, 2 things stand out by look
