Hacker news users will consistently use the dumbest arguments to try and poo-poo AI.

> shouldn't almost all of them be built by LLM if LLM is that much better

a) not every yc company is a software company

b) these things take time, and not everyone knows how to use these tools

this stuff should be pretty self evident.

What real skill do you have exactly

People are building sophisticated products in days not months now. If you can't see that, it's your issue.

Oceania, Africa, the Americas are not included in that nomenclature usually.

Brilliant logic. And no, the original comment wasnt' saying "give the engineers some credit", it was saying the engineers deserve the credit instead of Ive.

Which is idiotic and common of smug, self-important programmers.

It's like saying great architects aren't great, it's the construction workers who should get the credit.

In my opinion the only real issue the US has is healthcare. In all other ways even for middle class people it's better. People think Canada is some socialized heaven... yet home ownership is MUCH more realistic in say Michigan than it is just across the border in Ontario.

For average/unambitious or unfortunate/poor people, places like Europe or Canada are much better standard of living

Americans just have a borderline delusional self-belief that other cultures really have a hard time matching

The Gulf Arabs are another group with a similar mentality but they don't have the population, freedom or education (yet) to do the same things

What the hell do profits have to do with valuing tech startups?

Technology that any of us 5 years ago would've thought was a hundred years away and all you read is moving goalposts from ornery developers in denial.

Silicon Valley is cooked.

They weren't a bunch of gremlins in a cave conspiring to commit "anti-trust violations" in 2005. They were smart as hell and invested in the right areas.

Microsoft would get hit with the same anti-trust Google is being hit with if Bing and Windows Phone were successful - they're getting away with it because they're terrible.

how is this hard to understand lol
