Good! Information wants to be free, not locked up in some ivory tower. This is a great time upon us, when academics and ivy league elites can no longer gate keep knowledge and hoard it for their ego. Knowledge should benefit humanity as broadly as possible, not just the rich and their academic ilk.

Why are people giving her anymore attention and time? Yawn. I don't get it. The story has been told, there is nothing new here besides some weird shots of her wide eyed like she always has been. Am I the only person who isn't impressed?

Wouldn't it be easy to just generate a training dataset and use a model to identify and remove said watermarks?

Is one of these behaviors "work well"? Because that's what they need to focus on. Nothing AI I have seen from Microsoft, in any of their own products, works. Just embarrassingly bad.

At this point someone should just make an API compatible clone so all the plugins, integrations, themes and such work and be done with Wordpress and all that muck around it. Can't be too hard these days with coding agents.

I don’t find this to be the case. I use AI to help investigate and gather evidence much more efficiently than I could ever do manually. Then, I work through the evidence and possible failure modes given the observations with AI. It’s the exact same process I’d follow with a talented co-worker. Does it matter they are driving?

My intuition and instincts have been honed from years of troubleshooting complex systems so I find it refreshing not having to write probe scripts, queries or code under pressure. I can have a theory and test it very quickly and if it’s not the problem, I can quickly try something else. This greatly improves the time it takes to find the real root cause. Once found, I can do more elaborate testing that I might have skipped before due to complexity or time constraints to really have higher certainty.

If there is ever a time where the model does something I don’t understand, I ask it to explain it to me and I increase my knowledge of the system accordingly. It’s always patient and explains things in such depth without any sighs, patronizing, sarcasm, juxtaposition, etc. So refreshing!

I much prefer working with AI than any co-worker and I find I’m far more productive and efficient, especially with bugs and dealing with incidents. There’s no one to convince or argue with, no ego’s to trip over. It’s lovely.

Completely unusable last time I tried it. You got hit with rate limits after the first few minutes of using it. It's fast but cannot sustain its claimed speed before it immediately hits its rate limit. What good is it if you can't finish a task? It's like having a sports car that can only drive 180 mph for 5 seconds every minute and then has to cool down for an hour.

Borderline fraudulent to advertise to developers when it's completely impractical to use. Their only support is their company Slack channel.

The copy itself is incidental. It's the medium by which the performance of the license is executed through, and if some form of it requires a Sony online service to exist and to work or respond in a certain way and tied to your specific account, to gain access to the meaningful parts of the work, that's what you own. You can sell the physical copy, but you're only selling the actual material and whatever pieces exist on the disk itself. Caveat emptor.

The fact that some of the material exists in a form that is close to and within your control is irrelevant. That's like saying you own a copy of Google because some of the javascript code that runs the frontend is cached in your web browser. You don't.

"You will own nothing and be happy." better get used to that and make your peace with it

You own that physical copy due to the physical nature of it. However, you still are limited in what you can do with it. You can't make a copy of it and sell that copy. You can't read that book aloud, and sell the recording. In certain cases, you can't even read that book for an audience. The fact that you own it has embrued certain rights to you due to the physical nature of the book.

Take away the physical medium and there is nothing physical left that you own. Therefore, you have no physical rights to it anymore. The publisher, at their sole discretion, can remove the medium of access by which you consume the book. And then you'll be left without a book.

This is exactly how the current system works, I am just explaining it to you. So don't shout at the wind.

You can BUY a license to something, but it's still a license. You don't own the actual game unless you buy the rights to it from the publisher. The rights to a game can cost millions, and only then, do you truly, ever own it.

This is as silly as saying you shouldn’t drive your car on Friday’s and walk to work instead.

Why only Friday? What does “doing things the old way” one day a week prove or benefit when you spend 90% of your time working with AI?

Tech people who have their entire identities wrapped up in being smart or the best engineer in the room have suddenly learned that intelligence is now a commodity and a cheap one at that.

How TF do you trust people you don’t know from YouTube interviews? You don’t know them. They are strangers to you trying to sell you something.

Navigation needs to be low cognitive overhead to have mass appeal. There's a reason why people do not navigate with satellite or photo real maps. This is an interesting projection and visualization but doesn't have much practical value.

This take is the correct one. You don’t need to go far to see what will happen. Just visit any former American coal town, or one that used to do manufacturing. They are desolate waste dumps. The people there are completely cut off from the economy. That’s what’s going to happen, only on a much greater scale. Say goodbye to all those office parks, small and medium sized companies. The future will be most of the country looking like a desolate wasteland, with a few very ultra rich areas. The process of consolidation will continue until there are only a few places left that actually participate in the economy.

Agreed. I might be showing my age, but I remember the days of LightStep and associated window managers that did the same thing. This looks more like a highly connected techie raising a slush money fund of $8 million to put out his opinionated re-skin of Ubuntu and window manager settings file. The "year of the linux desktop" has nothing to do with some UI preferences but it probably sold well in whatever room he was in.

It must be nice to enter the blowhard stage of life where you can share your bash profile at a cocktail party in SF and go around the table collecting $1 million checks from all your yuppie friends.
