If Waymo has taught me anything, it’s that people will eventually accept robotic surgeons. It won’t happen overnight but once the data shows overwhelming superiority, it’ll be adopted.

Upvoting this since presumably you're actually the CTO at Snyk and people should see your official response, but wow this feels wildly irresponsible. You could have proved the PoC without actually stealing innocent developer credentials. Furthermore, additional caution should have been taken given the conflict of interest with the competitor product to Cursor. Terrible decision making and terrible response.

This has been my experience. Lots of companies are implementing LLMs but are not advertising it. There's virtually no upside to being public about it.

Wild response. It appears you did not learn a single lesson through this process.

There are legit criticisms of Sam Altman that can be levied but none of them are in this article. This is just reductive nonsense.

The arguments are essentially:

1. The technology has plateaued, not in reality, but in the perception of the average layperson over the last two years.

2. Sam _only_ has a record as a deal maker, not a physicist.

3. AI can sometimes do bad things & utilizes a lot of energy.

I normally really enjoy the Atlantic since their writers at least try to include context & nuance. This piece does neither.

Good. In the US, we should all wake up to the fact that we enjoy the lives we lead in large part to the fact that we’re able to project strength. AI will be another piece in the puzzle of national defense.

Seems reasonable? If you’re planning on staying free forever and are already gated to 90 days of history, why would you care if they delete 1+ year old content? From a privacy perspective, I’d even say it’s a positive update.

Yeah. I enjoy it for watching movies/shows, especially while flying. I also like to do a couple of hours of work (programming) in a cool environment with immersive music every couple of days. I keep it on my standing desk and when I stand up, I frequently will put it on.

I don't recommend it for non developers until there is more content, but it's a really neat dev kit device that shows where the future is headed.

Feels like this is going to become one of those things we look back on in retrospect and regret. We should be full steam ahead on identifying what effects microplastics & phthalates more broadly are having on our health & adjust accordingly. Early indications seem... not great.

Wow. I understand business models that are freemium but for a premium priced B2B product? This feels like an incredible rug pull. This changes things for me.
