That assumes they know what is going behind the scenes. The whole company is vibe coded at this point.

Maybe everybody has more capable models they're not releasing. Unless they're out they may as well not exist.

If anything it's the exact opposite. They're ridiculously powerful with more memory bandwidth than pretty much any equivalent PC. It is easy to make sloppy software because you can get away with so much.

They consume everybody's hard work then sell it to all competitors. What a deal.

And they're really good at adding more code to reduce complexity. In particular Claude is absolutely bonkers at the moment. I am having trouble taking this seriously especially because you mentioned Claude. Have you looked at anything it's done?

Dunno that's my experience with most businesses. I doubt AWS is that much better under the hood.

That's just not true. I am still finding the UI taking 40-50% of CPU time with many hours of wasted time on optimising it and ugly hacks. There's no convincing some people though. Because they can always say you just don't know how to use it.

Well I've been doing this for a pretty long time and I'd like to think I'm pretty good at it.

Yes but they would have had to spend years training/practicing which apparently is not a thing we value anymore.

An older iPhone is already better than most new cheaper Android phones.

You're right to push back...

Does it? That's not even well established yet. These things aren't that good.

I'm looking at buying one now and as far as I can tell Fender seems to make shoddy quality instruments these days. I see a lot of recommendations for PRS and others.

To me it feels like they're basically tweaking these things around the edges. I'm not seeing any difference in capability just preference. This has been the case for a while.

I'd be curious to see how much CPU time is wasted on looking for a null every time strlen is called. The extra length integer is probably insignificant compared to that.

What does older mean in this context? Because some people still think the year 1996 wasn't that long ago. Modern Renault cars are fine and reliable enough. I've had 4 in my life time and had zero issues myself. I see a ton of them here in the UK and, again, they're fine.
