Good point. Waymo is not comparing apples to apples here

"At-fault" Waymo crashes on 35mph city roads driven only in good weather vs. all crashes regardless of fault for on all roads including highways driven in all weather conditions

You cannot have a functioning economy or political system when there are billionaires because they no longer are accountable to the market or the people

Vibe coders are so insistence that the rest of us adopt their shitting tooling because they need other people coding slop too to justify their lack of effort.

If programmers keep up good coding practices then the vibe coders are the ones left behind

Such a dystopian nightmare we live in now. The US is cutting our actual healthcare services to subsidize this shit so billionaires can become trillionares while the rest of us suffer

Check the wages of coders outside of the US

It you take of the rosy glasses, it is more like 10 hours saved per-month at an unsubsidized cost of $1000/month

The $100/hr is worth it for US programming jobs, but nothing else

Measuring productivity by number of words written per day is as useless of a measure as number of lines of code written per day

So the rosy biased estimate is OpenAI is saving 1 hour of work per day, so 5 hours total per-work week and 20 hours total per-month.

With a subsidized cost of $200/month for OpenAI it would be cheaper to hirer a part-time minimum wage worker than it would be to contract with OpenAI.

And that is the rosiest estimate OpenAI has.

Ug, this bill is all about preventing regulation of multinational corporations, it has nothing to do with the right for individuals to compute anything.

Spending $1500 per-month is a crazy wasteful amount of money

I'll choose the wheel over using a country's worth of electricity to parrot unusable AI slop to gullible fools.
