Until students come up to you earnestly, asking “what is the purpose of learning this?”

This is already happening in CS and math.

Isn't that just API? We had them. Reddit/Zillow/Wells Fargo/etc restricted theirs due to business reasons, not technical ones.

Chess is completely deterministic too. Please play the perfect game.

Exactly, we all know the merits of Esperanto, but few have switched away from English.

Will the model even be competitive in 10 months though? Seems like models that reach top 20 on OpenRouter see 50% of all token spend by day 80, and 80% by day 180.

Don’t worry. By the time they grow up they’ll just ask the AI for a summary of their childhood.

My guess is Gemini Pro coming later will be 2x more, bringing it comparable to Opus’s pricing.

"Parable of the broken window", except instead of preventing the kid from throwing the rocks, they hired a someone to catch the rocks midair.

We didn't see the majority switch from Google to Duckduckgo because of ads or privacy... Being the "default" brings network effects that is hard to switch away.

Football anime doesn’t involve real people or stakes. AI can introduce a storyline, characters, etc. It won't necessarily be as popular as the real sport but I doubt the audience is zero.

For TypeVar I’d reach for a lint warning instead.

As a solo dev who picked SolidJS, yes, it is a big factor. Things like tldraw, node editors, wysiwyg editors, etc. Having to reimplement them is a huge time sink.

There's 3x more React libraries and code out there to reference. AI agents do _a lot_ better with React than, say, SolidJS. So productivity > performance is a tradeoff that many companies seem to happily take.
