Yes, but there are more good reasons to have it be decentralized.

Personally, I've been spending 12 continuous hours building things using agentic AI most of these days.

Those two examples are not opposite. They're both examples of governments crippling freedom.

The main reason that governments forcing USB-C is widely seen as good is because it limits the freedom of big corporations, which don't elicit much sympathy, but the principle is the same.

Agree.

GPT 6 needs to be babysit, otherwise it starts doing ridiculous things.

I find GPT 6 to be lacking in common sense when it comes to interpreting my prompts.

I have to be more literal with it than with GPT 5.x, otherwise, it sometimes does something totally different than what I want.

> His politics [...] are framed with deliberate misuse of facts and data;

Any specific examples? I am/was out of the loop on this and had to Google "DHH politics" to know what people are talking about.

What the hell is going on with those people (or bots?)?

When I read AI-generated prose that is aimed at the general public, I have the exact same feeling.

But when I ask Codex a technical question about coding, I don't get it at all. Codex replies to me in a very direct, technical manner, similar to the way I speak.

When I ask ChatGPT to be concise and technical, I get the same effect.

I think it's because prose aimed at the general public has to be very attention-baity --like the textual equivalent of a Mr. Beast video--, not because AI is incapable of writing like a human.

If you sign a contract on paper, I 100% agree. It's fraud.

Signing up for it on a website and checking a box that says "I agree to the terms of service", I don't think carries the same weight. But maybe that's just me.

Except for the cases of credit card fraud, I don't see what's morally wrong with it, for it to be called "fraud".

It's just reselling.

Maybe people are starting to copy Anthropic's rhetoric of "everything that inconveniences me is fraud (e.g. distillation). Everything that benefits me is legit."

On the list of languages/ecosystems that make me want to rip my hair off, Go is way below.

Javascript takes the throne on that one.

I think there are studies that analyze height vs. career achievement.
