Because we've passed the point of no return. There's no need for empty mission statements, or even a mission at all. AI is here to stay and nobody is gonna change that no matter what happens next.

I always read and review the code and it's true that the old models from 2023/2024 were using a lot of emojis. But that code was garbage. Since LLMs have started to write decent code, I haven't seen one emoji.

Well, it is. Let's say that AI adds emojis to my code/text. Me, a millennial who hates emojis, will tell the AI to delete those emojis and never use them again in my code or my official documents. The gen Z guy who got his first j

Does it really matter? Even if a billionaire’s kid gets hooked on Coca-Cola or social media, they still have vastly more resources (therapy, education, support) to overcome it. Meanwhile, kids in underprivileged communities don’t get that s

I'm with you. The industry has pivoted from building tools that help you code to selling the fantasy that you won't have to. They don't care about the reality of the review bottleneck; they care about shipping features that l

It doesn't work like that. You need to actually use the model and then go to /activity to see the actual speed. I constantly get 150-200tps from the Big 3 while other providers barely hit 50tps even though they advertise much high

It's all about the hardware and infrastructure. If you check OpenRouter, no provider offers a SOTA chinese model matching the speed of Claude, GPT or Gemini. The chinese models may benchmark close on paper, but real-world deployment is

The average person in the west isn't losing sleep over China either. That anxiety is mostly manufactured by the media pushing the narrative that they are an existential threat. Maybe they are, I don't know. But what I do know is t

Let's meet in the middle: only allow AI data hoarders to train their stuff on your content if the model is open source. I can stand behind that.

Ask yourself: who owns the IP you're defending? It's not struggling artists, it's corporations and billionaires. Stricter IP laws won't slow down closed-source models with armies of lawyers. They'll just kill open-s

Agreed. Regulate AI? Sure, though I have zero faith politicians will do it competently. But more IP protection? Hard pass. I'd rather abolish patents.

OpenAI doesn't want you to use their models outside of their own products, which is why the API and integrations like Github Copilot are super slow.
