It feels to me like this is a case of very rapid increase in load from AI pr's more than product quality degrading because of cruft or poor maintenance. It's annoying but I'm not confident that alternatives will do better in

Feels like a cost you’ll pay when you’re trying different stuff out and want to play with different models, but as soon as companies start wanting to cost optimize the 5% middleman is an easy one to cut out.

Conversely, “we should stop X” should come with some idea of how to feasibly do so. In any case, I’d summarize my position as “you cannot stop open source AI, and attempts at it will inevitably empower bad actors relative to good ones.”

I tried to address safety, albeit briefly, in the sections on backdoors and propaganda. What would you have liked to see? I didn't give it much treatment because my frame of reference is about open vs closed AI, and I don't see a

Yes that would be my view. Open access doesn't make it trivial, but remains the most expedient way to remediate these exploits.

(I work for Block, not on this) Cash App was not an acquisition, it originated as a hackweek within (what was then called) Square. Possibly you’re thinking of the Afterpay acquisition?

A sticky product is one that switching away from creates a major hassle. Which means the user will pay more to avoid said hassle. “I don’t really have a strong preference between the two” is another way of saying “the product isn’t sticky”,

I don’t really get the business plan for open weights model companies, is the idea companies would pay them for serving?

Surely both manufacturer and convenience store have incentive to push the addictive product in this scenario. In any case, drug dealers really don’t need to do any pushing, the drugs sell themselves. Have you ever taken an opioid? The idea

Even as someone highly interested in memory I don’t see it as a useful tool for coding. The source of truth for what a repo does or should do is the repo itself. What you’re describing sounds more like code review guidelines, which can be e

I favor automatic recall, invisible to the agent. For memory creation, I find tool calls do a pretty good job, though I also like automatic memory creation on context compression. I think with automatic creation you need async consolidation

But these products are all drop in replacements for each other. I've recently favored Codex more than CC, just because rate limits got mildly annoying. I really didn't have to change anything about my workflow in doing that.

From the press release, it's not all that clear what Deezer is doing about it. 44% of uploads getting less than 1% of non-fraudulent streams seems like a pretty strong reason to outright ban AI generated submissions. For the non-fraudu
