I don’t want fingerprints on my laptop screen though…

Just want to say that the human standard tends to rise to match the challange. It’s always been the case historically so far.

I think the question is not “will AI able to do the work people used to do one year ago?”

but more

“will people, in the new environment where AI does the work that they used to do one year ago, still provide a competitive advantage?”

My gut feeling is: yes!

The problem is that they measure this, and if it's true for many they will just change it until they find the right way to keep you there. It's a giant machine dedicated to turn users into addicts. Regulation (sad) and most of all education is the only things that I believe can help here.

Tax them -> spend in education.... not that I think it will happen though! :)

if cholesterol predicted future cognitive health we wouldn’t need dedicated tests, do we?

Isn't building a 90% frontier model relatively cheap for EU?

I feel like EU could start a company, start from available open weight models, feed 2bln a year into it (1% of the EU budget) and make a compelling almost SOTA model for the EU market. This company could partner with datacenter providers and sell it hosted in the EU or somewhere else with EU protection terms. The budget for this company would easily double with the added revenues and you are creating an ecosystem of providers that can compete with US big-techs and have a 500 million people market that can't wait to ditch US companies for them, given the current mood.

The model can be open weight and it's an easy way to compound the efforts we are seeing in China without even having to talk to each other. Maybe there is a way to make it work not open weights but I am not sure how would that work.

These are those kind of decisions that seem such no brainers to me, which probably means I am completely out of touch with reality.

actually you can buy inference on third party providers that serve deepseek v4 pro with zero data retention (ZDR).

I am wondering if this is why they can offer their pro model at ~1/4th of the price compared to the other providers offering the same model, and if other providers will be able to do the same in a short timeframe.

Internet is more and more becoming a commercialization platform. If you are selling something on your website, you still want Google (or ChatGPT for that matters) to expose customers to your product. The gate is the actual delivery of the product is behind a purchase/signup. Google and others want to control the entire customer journey, to the point the your website is simply a way to pass metadata to them. They are actually achieving this!

this kills the entire internet vibe of the 90s, early 2k

Honestly UX became irrelevant in the last years (infra as code) and even more in the last year (coding agents). What you need is well structured API and a CLI that does not limit you. You can call it UX if you want, but the skillset is different.

When I started my latest project my first rule was: I never have to login to AWS console. I didn’t achieve ‘never’ but I am pretty close and the experience is a lot better

Question. How does it work if I own a repository (opt out, don't use copilot) and I give access to someone else (use is opted in and uses copilot). Do you train on his submissions of my code? How can you know what that he has the right to share the code with you for training?

while I agree, I understood this is only when you use copilot? if not, their communication is very misleading

exactly what I do. they are still annoying because providers want to me to be engaged on their terms and keep pushing these features and don’t offer a broad “never use bluetooth on any website ever” kind of option. Magic of KPIs

anyway the point here is that I don’t really care if Safari is behind in support. The article was about blaming Safari for being behind.

You might want your browser to do Bluetooth, NFC, Background stuff, Face Detection but I don't.

I like to use Apple products for things that are commodities to me because I am not gonna look into the details of those and when I do Apple reasoning often make sense to me (just like this list).

There is a lot more we can criticize about these big tech corps (including Apple) than a product decision for a company that is known for making polarizing decisions on behalf of their customers. If people buy it... they must like it, no?
