AMD is not a good company. They stopped innovating after Intel was put down. Except, now Intel has govt backing while AMD will face significantly more competition from not only x86 but arm. Stock price says otherwise but I think they had more than enough time to catch up to Nvidia and simply refused to compete.

I think this signals game over in the arms race.

Unfortunately insider trading happens all the time in commodities and isn’t necessarily illegal. It depends.

I’ve some family in medicine and it scares me how much they now rely on AI. Some even quote it like Bible.

Biggest ripoff in academics.

There should be a cheap open source calculators for schools and exams. It’s ridiculous that TI is still charging this.

95% of the population is educated to think inside of the box and just rely on repetition/memorization. There’s not a lot of thinking happening in this world outside of a very small group of people. AI is not going to change that reality at least not until we educate our children for the AI age.

Gold has been a vehicle for cartels for a very long time. It’s shifted to crypto in recent years but gold is still the cleanest (and most economical) way to clean money.

So you hire people who “don’t even own their own computers?” You might be the problem then.

Constant complaints about Anthropic. Not much on OAI/Codex. It seems people should just use OAI and come back when they realize compute isn’t free elsewhere.

Prototypes of what? What new products came out of Block in the past six years since pandemic? This makes it sound like Block is a place of innovations when it’s just a rent seeking enterprise.

You just might break that 10K visit from Spanish tech blog in 2017.

I detest Apple for constantly bothering me at the store for small business sales pitch. Apple Store experience has really gone down the hill.

It’s the best OS drive especially p5800x.

My experience was quite different. It was on par with open source models from China (and it was priced as much) and could never replace Sonnet/Opus/GPT5.x.

xAI showed me that it’s really still OAI and Anthropic (which is basically the OG devs). No matter how much money you throw at the problem, the entire space is still in the hands of a few.

Worth mentioning that tolerance is that low for multi-stud pieces. For an individual stud it’s closer to 0.02mm but as you add more studs tolerance spec goes up.

Why don’t they just allow MacOS on iPad Pro. It’s what people want.

People come up with the most insane workflow for agents. They complete about 80% of the work but that last 20% is basically equivalent to you doing the whole thing piece wise (with the help of AI). Except the latter gives you peace of mind.

I am still not sold on agentic coding. We’ll probably get there within the next couple of years.

Only Meta and Zuck would continually introduce invasive products.

I canceled my subscription though I still have a lot of money in API (which I know they don’t refund). I will sundown and move it all over to Anthropic/Google. It’s pretty clear to me what OAI is doing. Shame on anyone working there selling their souls for a few more pennies.

Shame because Codex was a bit better for me in the past few weeks but not enough to justify spending my money on them.

Might be the best thing to happen to Anthropic from a PR perspective and possibly IPO.

At this point, surveillance state is coming whether Dario does this or not. You can do all that with open source models. It’s sad that we don’t have the right people in charge in govt to address this alarming issue.

Think LLM by itself is basically a commodity at this point. Not quite interchangeable but it’s more of artistic differences rather than technological. I used to think it was data and that would give companies like Google a leg up.

I am pretty sure we are still attracting top talents. We are not, however, attracting good to mediocre talents. Is that a good thing? What’s going to happen to all these mediocre graduate programs spread out all over the country where they simply existed to satiate foreign demand?

So basically you are saying Anthropic models are indispensable but you are too cheap to pay for it.

People on here are acting like school children over this. It’s their product that they spent billions to make. Yet here we are complaining about why they should let you use third party products specifically made to compete against Anthropic.

You can still simply pay for API.

That’s what CC does…I don’t need a messenger wrapper to do those things.

Is it? You basically got 95% of the way there with Claude Code inside of a container. People were using CC outside of development scope for awhile.

Sorry to break it to you but I would not trust any financial companies with my personal data. Simply because I’ve seen how they use data to build exploitive products in the past.
