That doesn’t mean that the subscription itself is losing money. The margin on the subscription could be fine, but by using that margin to R&D the next model, the org may still be intentionally unprofitable. It’s their investment/

That’s not the way they are presented at all. And making foreign goods much more expensive when we don’t currently produce enough of those products domestically to offer actual alternatives is a clear harm to consumers, not a boon to domest

“Foundational” seems a bit overkill here. There is nothing foundational about it – it’s a convenience tool, albeit a very good one. AI is disruptive technology - like other tech innovations before it, there will be casualties to incumbents.

Yea! I totally trust corporations and government to always do the right thing and never abuse their powers!

I believe it’s you who is misunderstanding his positions here. He clearly lays out that he is focused on irrational optimism effecting the investment around the tech, not whether or not the tech itself is viable. His analysis was indeed wel

its a good bet on their part (although i hate it). we obviously can't increase supply fast enough to keep up with demand in the current regulatory climate and with an existing shortage of skilled tradesmen and ratio of tradesman reti

No, there is an airport 10 minutes from the museum but the museum itself is closer to downtown.

Ruby central looks so incompetent it’s not even funny. Bummer all around.

I’d disagree. I think there is still so much value it can offer if you really open your mind. For instance, I’ve met very few “programmers” that I’d consider even moderately competent at front-end, so the ability of a programmer to build a

I think you are spot on here, although many may not like to acknowledge it.

This splitting of hairs between the legal entities and the work of their paid teams/employees isn’t adding strength to your argument. Companies are run by people and those people get to make decisions on the allocation of resources. If

Splitting hairs. At the time your friend owned it, the company and people were one and the same.

A small company can just pay the $250 a month for X number of employees to each have CC max plan. Not that complicated

An additional requests for html isn’t slow, and now I have to have a whole “build” process for something that is basically static. Not ideal

Finding product market fit is a human directional issue, and LLMs absolutely can help speed up iteration time here. I’ve built two RoR MVPs for small hobbby projects spending ~$75 in Claude code to make something in a day that would have pr

Couldn’t agree more. He’s talking about a management style in such a nebulous way, when I would imagine his experience and proximity to so many founders/companies could provide a little more concrete substance. This feels like a first

In light frame residential construction, the structural envelope (foundation, framing, roof, and exterior doors/windows) will usually be about 50% of project cost, if not a little more

Exactly. He’s only founded and led a company that’s built some of the most easily adoptable and exciting innovations in human-computer interactions in the last decade. Total fraud!

I dislike the look of chatGPT images so much. The photo-realism of stable diffusion impresses me a lot more for some reason.

I strongly disagree, and think this statement is basically completely wrong. I am part of the public and I'm benefitting tremendously from the product openAI has built. I would be very unhappy if my access to chatgpt or copilot was sud

Wow, that’s a really sad situation. Must be difficult for you. Good luck buddy, will be awaiting to see you build your own model.

There’s a difference between a true monopoly and first mover advantage. There is competition in AI, it’s just behind. I agree on the risk of building on them, but then again any business has its risks. My main point was that some of these f

Would love to see it. Everything I’ve read/seen from PG regarding Sama has been nothing but high praise. My understand is Sam chose to leave YC president role to pursue other interests/ventures which eventually turned into OpenAI

AI has no chance of existing outside of capitalism. Capitalism, whether you like it or not, provides a structure where tech innovation flourishes best. Altruism isn’t capable of the same results.
