Interestingly, I found this one more palatable. Maybe because it avoided some of the other common LLM text pitfalls, like several few-word sentences in a row. Also I suppose it helps that I was interested in the story of Theo and was happy to keep reading.

Simon you're really going to need to float the numbers for us if you're going to make claims about enormous revenue. And don't forget to include things like cost of revenue as well !

It's a nice thought idea, but I think anyone silly enough to actually attempt this are going to discover the extreme drawbacks very quickly and lose a bunch of money doing so.

... which is probably why they will go through with it. Losing a bunch of money seems to be one of the fundamentals of AI business here :(

What was the decision to leave the LLM to write the detail section rather than author it yourself? There's a growing resentment about asking people to read LLM-produced words, especially if it's a large amount to read. Not sure if you were aware of that or not (I think there's been links to surveys / polls just recently on H.N)

Seems like an odd pivot, have Asus made any other (successful) non-computing products before?

I think Doll over on bsky has an interesting Claude setup going. Some kind of adversarial mode where they pitch Claude against another model (Gemini, I think) combined with their own “memory” model called Chainlink.

They’ve recently started using their AI pipeline to put out rust-based conversions of tools and it seems to be going pretty well.

yeah that’s not what he actually thinks though

Should be banned. Stop finding new ways to burn gas for energy, you fucking maniacs.

Worked great on iPad. Was nice to see something designed well for a swipe oriented experience.

Ed makes a living from writing. Unfortunately he can’t make everything free.

Ed has been beating this drum for a while, I don’t see a problem with it. He’s putting in whatever research he can into these black boxes.

He warned a while ago that a $20/month sub was not going to be sustainable, and now what do we have? $100, $200, and $300 dollar tier plans. And now he’s warning even this isn’t going to be enough.

It might seem like breathless hyperbole to you or me, but I think he’s giving a pretty fair warning in advance to anyone who is hitching their wagon to these services in a big way and might get caught out badly if they aren’t lucky
