I'm convinced all engineers in the O365 org are call center techs in disguise

speaking as a FTE at Microsoft... yup

does this happen for Claude Desktop too?

I think it's safe to assume anything associated with PDFs is radioactive.

Definitely ease of use...

but the investment is increasingly _fueled_ by debt, regardless if OpenAI is the direct borrower. just look at the bond market. you think we'd be seeing these rates if corporate bonds weren't directly competing with government-issued bonds?

they've borrowed so much they're directly competing with national governments in capital markets.

You know, I've never thought about that. It's really interesting to consider, especially since refactoring code is now cheaper than ever.

it is unarguably problematic when only 10% of your demographic is able to meaningfully participate in your economy outside of fixed head costs...

not to mention, the marginal propensity to consume for the top 10% is 5-6 times _less_ than the bottom 90%, so I don't know how you can claim the current consumption rate is good?

well, for one, the top 10% households drive most discretionary consumption in the US because the other 90% are broke.

I doubt they have the compute capacity to support a commercial source control platform. I'm sure you've seen how insane GitHub's traffic has become.

didn't say they invented them.. I'm just saying they follow them rather dogmatically.

Don't even get me started on PowerBI...
