Candy crush has a team of hundreds of people, it's far from a simple game. I know for a fact they had individual product managers for certain features inside the game.

Bun is much much more lighter than node or deno. If you don't mind the controversy around the rust rewrite, it's objectively the better option in most cases.

Compile can take minutes on large codebases, LLM turns usually seconds. How are these even comparable?

Using analogies like "reading" to describe AI training is quite misleading imho. Training effectively embeds the book's contents into the model's weights. Changing the format doesn't change the content; a better analogy is distributing a book's text within software.

Current copyright laws are simply not prepared for this unprecedented use.

If you would go on a tv and read out loud a book you have not purchased rights to present, according to the most copyright laws in the world, yes you would and you would get a fine. Similarly if you broadcast a tv-show you have not purchased rights would.

Whether this is right or not is a seperate question.

Those some people can't recite a book to any given person in the world at any given time. There's a difference.

Most people can't recite a book they've read verbatim. However, if you ask an LLM to continue a random sentence from a semi-popular book, it can sometimes provide the exact text, unless the system flags the response.

2.1MB is a huge most of the world where the internet speeds are not gigabyte etc. Yes, storage wise it's not a lot, but it's extra 5 seconds or so the user needs to wait for the site to load.

Between 2018 and 2022, we saw the widespread adoption of social media and the rapid digitalization of education. Focusing on these key shifts, it seems clear to me that any kind of electronic learning has had a negative impact on education :p

"Double the cost" so jev is half the price. That's a huge difference.

You don't need to train it, you can throw pretty much whatever at it and it'll work and it's extremely cheap. That's it.

I'd argue for most people LLM produces much better code than they would be able to write themselves.
