Human values ideally start deeper, in the creation of preferences, where economics simply takes as a primitive/preexisting part of the environment. Marketing theory is the one that focuses on manipulating human value.

Fair callout. Strongly discounting (b) and (a) is underspecified for me to respond reasonably. Your premise of full token commoditization has a major wrinkle though. GPU-centric data centers with never allow tokens to go to zero since you h

Self-hosting takes either cloud- or on-prem-engineering chops, which are in short supply. In my view, that becomes the primary driver for lowering token costs. Secondary are the alternative model sources like Z.ai and Moonshot, which betwee

That's awesome to hear. I look forward to trying it out and, ideally, seeing SLMs/open weights model following suite.

> Astra is a new step in LLMs I think. I'd be interested in hearing more about your evaluation here. It would be nice if LLMs have gotten past the "tell me" hump of recent Claude/OpenAI verbosity.

It can certainly come across as a "weird trend" but I've found that the most insistent for disabling JS are the folks who have deep knowledge of browsers and the security plane running webapps. YMMV.

Treating HTML as a bootloader for an app has always felt like the wrong pattern to me. Outside of Authn/passkeys, it would seem a person could do basically everything in HTML (but, to be frank, I am not a front end dev and would welcom

I stand by my guffaw and by my clear call that tone policing is worse.

Oh poo, I can download an open weights model now and build glorious things with it. I can train my own, finetune on someone elses, or host a complete package. What is this AI cartel? Are we complaining that they engineer better harnesses? W

This is more or less what Ray Dalio was getting at with The Changing World Order , IMO.

Two sources of truth, if playwright updates? Honestly, this is one of the things OpenAI does pretty well, I think, these tiny design decisions that you wouldn't notice until it becomes super annoying.
