Not sure I understand.

Yeah Pro subscription. I realize building something targeting API is probably astronomically more expensive.

And I realize also that they are reducing churn by keeping the value there for subscribers. Not sure what that’s costing them, but it’s definitely holding me as a customer. The product works so well for me that I honestly don’t need to even glance at the competition.

And honestly, this has been the case since day one. I’ve always used Claude. ChatGPT a bit in the beginning, but it’s emoji fetish and “bro” personality gave me the ick so I dropped them.

Okay fair enough. I don’t track the finances just what the tools are doing. And on that all these AI-Ifying documents and stuff doesn’t really have a moat, but Anthropic has a great product.

Either way the people should never bail out corporations.

Anthropic is not going to fail. Claude does amazing things and all the companies built on top of it are more likely to fail because at the end of the day, we can remake their value proposition by using Claude and a few command line tools…

The proportions, materials, overall design is quite beautiful. How is that not an expression to God? Having a few hundred people die falling off of scaffolding and taking 50 years to build is not helping anyone today.

Perhaps a few dead bodies and a couple hundred years of recitations will do the trick?

Put another way, if monks in the year 1k had a CNC router like this, they wouldn’t have peasants take 50 years to arrive at their expression to God.

It’s the architecture and the design that reflects the Lord almighty. The peasants doing it are a means to an end: so the church stands tall, so they can massacre the non-believers, burn witches, infidels, and imprison astronomers. All in the comfort of a beautiful cathedral.

I think the hardest thing for me is all these sites and services coming out with phrases like: “Trust and govern every answer” or “Bring BI to where people work” or “self-serve in plain language” or “Trust and control behind every answer”

I’m like, what the f*k. We’re busy doing this shit for a little-hundred-mil?

Do we REALLY need these little guide notebooks? Everyone has AI just, I dunno, stuff the shit in SQLite and generate a graph.

One more thing: how many f*king insights do companies need? This shit is like analysis paralysis.

Keep it simple people, don’t pay for this crap. If you need to gather all your little magical documents, maybe it’s time to consider cleaning out the attic instead.

In real life there’s lots of bugs around and difficult to read error messages.

Re. the boilerplate just have students clone a pre-fabbed repo with the boilerplate handled for them.

The real question should be whether you want students to know how to program in a low programming language or not. Whether they should see what the reality of programming is or not.

If they can’t program in C/C++ and debug the error messages how are they going to survive in the wild? I guess they’ll use an LLM.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

If anything spend your time on the code and let AI make the readme. If you’re basing the code quality on the readme maybe look at the architecture is a better way to judge a project. Seems a bit superficial like judging a book by its cover…

Don’t those decision models mainly route to other models? My understanding is that they wouldn’t handle a request but forward it along with some kind of semantic capability.

No, Jan 6th wasn’t part of the political process. It was politically motivated, but based on greed and delusion. Why do you think dominion voting got a billion in damages from Fox? Because they fueled the delusion and there was proof.

And yet people went out there with no idea instead of, you know, volunteering and helping with their local election office.

What? Quit Meta first to be honest. Then quite the others.

And what if nothing happens? Then they created a fucking mess and injuring people instead of being civil and participating in the political process.

How so? Anything to destabilize Europe benefits them. Something highly plausible is not a conspiracy theory, it is a sound strategic move for Russia given the circumstance. And it would be very easy to pull off since their people just fold into the crowd.
