You forgot to mention the case where the US economy craters because of political missteps leading to Google and Apple being distracted leaving it open for Chinese or other models to surge ahead.

To be fair Softbank really likes to invest in lemons, so you know, let them do what brings them joy.

Love this for them.

The world already relies on them for drones and batteries, often cars.

See my earlier point that this article is meant to read like fiction for a demographic that are not actually involved in using any of this tech on the daily.

What is the value of this piece? Who benefits from people reading it?

It’s a puff piece with no substance that tries to frame the interviewee positively with no real apparent reason.

These pieces are usually just advertising with more words. They want to frame Replit and their hero founder as being rebels who don't follow the rules or fear goliath.

This is fantasy fiction for VCs, founders, AI bros, and anyone else who isn't actually looking for information.

For what it’s worth I know this is likely intended to read as the new generation of models will somehow better than any paper will be able to gauge, that hasn’t been my experience.

Results are getting worse and less accurate, hell, I even had Claude drop some Chinese into a response out of the blue one day.

First thing I thought was “oh, neat, another google product they will kill”.

People who are smart enough to think that far ahead are also smart enough not to fall into the “ai can do all jobs perfectly all the time and just need my divine guidance” trap.

This is such a great way to frame all his comments.

Yes, but with more sales magic sprinkled on top.

Wang is able to accurately gauge zuck’s intelligence.

Why?

The whole point every CEO with a toe in the AI pool can't stop bleating on about is that software engineering is dead and replaced by AI.

bun is MIT licensed, they could take bun free of charge and use their Phd level software engineer god machine to iterate on it.

This will be the premise under which MS will acquire OAI talent after all the money has disappeared.

Cool story, but it’s more than just the opinion of this CEO. It’s logic.

Hardware is not like building railroads, the hardware is already out of date once deployed and the clock has started ticking on writing off the expense or turning a profit on it.

There are fundamental discoveries needed to make the current tech financially viable and an entire next generation of discoveries needed to deliver on the over inflated promises already made.

Sell me a major version every couple of years, would far prefer that. IAP and subs just feels scammy and lazy.

Love the app, hate IAP / subs model

Paramount+ streaming seems broken too

This is one of the issues with LLMs in dev IMO.

You either have the case that tech moves on and the LLM is out of date on anything new, so adoption slows or you have tech slowing down because it doesn't work with LLMs so innovation slows.

Either way, it's great if you're working on legacy in known technologies, but anything new and you have issues.

Can I write a spec or doc or add some context MCP? Sure, but these are bandaids.

I would be looking to see who is benefiting from their investments and acquisitions right now.

They know enterprise is not seeing the gains expected and that the average joe likes the product if it is basically free. Neither means meaningful revenue for them let alone enough to keep shovelling money into the gpu furnace.

They are going to be looking for ways to extract what liquid cash they can now.

Maybe ask all the startups looking to scale their TS\JS microservices "stack" using event driven architecture.

Won't somebody please think of the executives?

Maybe we live in different worlds, but I don’t know anyone who is especially happy when they get AI support rather than a human.

Services roles that are high contact / human interaction should have a human to deal with.

I think the point is that we all want a robot to do the laundry and pack the dishwasher, but basically no one wants to be greeted by a robot when they arrive at a hotel.

They are selling it the way AI has been sold. This will replace everyone's jobs. Thing is everyone is tired now, so many pointless layoffs, massive bubble, "AI-First"-desperate-ass companies.

Who will buy the robots if we are all unemployed?

The business will be very quickly bought up to kill the product.

IRC I think the roadblock isn't that they need to be approved, but that they can only distribute in the EU.

Using inventions from other people or those who have now left the company.

They have no moat, their competitors are building equivalent or better products.

The point of the article is that they are a bad business because it doesn't pan out long term if they follow the same path.

It's opensource, so people would likely have caught this issue. It's opensource, so they can't just make some foolish, arbitrary licensing change to extort money from customers. It's opensource, so it is going to be a better engine in the long run.

Unity had a niche, their greedy execs killed that and Godot is one of the beneficiaries of that.

Unlikely, they're all using it.
