I love 3.8 Flash, if only it weren’t unusably flaky. Sometimes simple responses take minutes or I get rate limited after sending a single message (I guess it’s a shared pool rate limit). Have you not experienced this (would love to know if there’s a way to actually use it reliably!)

I agree with you, but they specifically say
> startups die because of conflict between people, not the product or market.
I don’t think they could possibly disentangle the causes.

> Harvard's Noam Wasserman found that 65 percent of high-potential startups die because of conflict between people, not the product or market.
Have to call BS on this, no one argues when everything is going gangbusters. So likely the causation is the other way around.
Also everyone involved (from founders to backers) is incentivised to blame the interpersonal relationships since it protects their judgement, ego, etc.

Looks cool but how on earth does your demo video not show a sample of the result?! It ends right before the exciting part. Madness!

Electricity is important, even more important than AI (despite some rhetoric).
We don’t see electricity companies among the biggest companies in the world, except in China where they are a state owned monopoly… maybe a good analogy after all.

Their innovation was already smothered when they raised a mega round.

I think if one posed the question “how, exactly, could educating people kill us all?” you’d get much the same answer.
Plausibly it could lead to weapons that kill many people but then many people have had such knowledge for a long time and we are all here.
Turns out mass damage requires things beyond just ‘intelligence’.

This is a pretty moronic take. You only have to understand the first thing about physics (e.g., a 14-year-old's understanding) to know that a dragless airplane is impossible.
If you are suggesting there is some new model of physics or groundbreaking technology that would allow such a dragless plane, then don’t let me discourage you! But AI won’t help at all, since it will only regurgitate conventional wisdom…

> I wouldn't be surprised if there are now more chess books now than there ever have been
Well yeah... how would there be fewer??
But the point itself is silly. Few people are putting effort into Maths for the fun of it (and of those that are many derive fun from being the only one who can produce a solution). Chess differs in that it never had any point but the game its self.

There’s always been a distinction between published work and unpublished.
If my friend showed me some unpublished work (Say 90% of the hardest work toward a significant proof) if I then go finish the remaining 10% and publish the whole thing as mine it isn’t ‘building on the shoulders of giants’ it’s plagiarism/theft.
If he’d published that work first and I took it and found another proof and credited him for his work via citation then that would be fine.

If these accusation are true
It’s more like you spend 4 years developing a product you’re passionate about. This product will gain you the respect of all your colleagues and either earn you money directly or lead to great career advancements. Then OpenAI takes it, changes the colour scheme, finishes the login flow and claims the whole thing as their own.
Not only would it piss you off but it would also misrepresent what OpenAIs models are capable of.

I think we can follow the incentives. We know…

Even in code, in person and online I’m seeing some reversal. It’s here to stay I’m sure but I also think “no one will ever hand write code again” is a narrative that is getting pushback.
