Or users will realize that a trashy ads experience is bad and switch to a service that isn't trashy. I don't understand why there's so much fearmongering about ads when heavy competition + zero switching costs will effectivel

I feel like this is a solvable problem. If you emit an errant word that should be replaced, why not correspondingly emit backspaces to just rewrite the word? I feel like this is the best of both worlds. Perhaps a little janky with backspace

If the world is built on AI infrastructure (models, compute, etc.) that is controlled by the CCP then the west has effectively lost. This may lead to better life outcomes, but if the west doesn't control the whole stack then they have

The AI market is an infinite sum market. Consider the fact that 7 year old TPUs are still sitting at near 100p utilization today.

Speak for yourself. I've been insanely productive with Codex 5.2. With the right scaffolding these models are able to perform serious work at high quality levels.

Clawdbot is one of those things that's really hard to get unless you have experienced it. It's got four things that make it great: 1. Discord/Slack/WA/etc integration so those apps become your frontend 2. Filesystem

I wish one of these models was fine tuned for programming. I want to be able to say things like "cd ~/projects" or "git push --force".

Absolutely. The limitations of AI (namely statelessness) require us to rethink our interfaces. It seems like there's going to be a new discipline of "UX for agents" or maybe even just Agent Experience or AX. Software that has

This doesn't fit the narrative of "Elon bad" therefore the Ford 29k vehicle steering loss recall gets two upvotes whereas the Tesla 6k vehicle dealer-installer light bar issue gets hundreds of upvotes.
