@tjl "this thing I am making will for SURE make you obsolete" doesn't pair well with "and you may not have it"
throw in a "you're welcome" while you're at it, and yep, folks'll get agitated
that's pretty much the whole story
@CharlieBull0ck@schulzb589@deanwball@theojaffee (I might clarify, though, that as a non-lawyer I use the word ‘anticompetitive’ in the ordinary language sense. I know it is also a spell that lawyers cast, but I do not know how to. In English, the word straightforwardly, uncomplicatedly applies to this and also to Salesforce)
@CharlieBull0ck@schulzb589@deanwball@theojaffee This is interesting legally, and I appreciate you taking the time.
It sounds as though if e.g., Sysco could practically enforce that their calories not be used to transport or prepare food, that would also be permitted?
Is that accurate?
@CharlieBull0ck@schulzb589@deanwball@theojaffee what is “you cannot use our product to compete with us” if not anticompetitive?
in what way does the public benefit from firms behaving that way?
@deanwball@neil_chilson@CharlieBull0ck@theojaffee what would we make of an oil company prohibiting the use of their product to fuel a competitor’s fleet?
this doesn’t seem borderline, it seems flagrant — with respect to the intent and purpose of the law
@francoisfleuret On the grounds that we'll:
- fine them if they don't
- nationalize them if they don't pay the fine
- imprison them if they resist
The competitive arena belongs to the government, for the benefit of the people. We make the rules.
This is a bog standard free market issue.
@EthanLipnik not what you asked, but, yeah -- best fix atm is to have the main thread ask questions, and task subagents with writing reports that answer those questions.
@simonsarris you’re predicting the PR cycle correctly i believe, but the fundamentals still favor growing use of AI
we’ll generally see less discretionary token spend over time, but more total
the bulk will move into processes and systems that require no special genius to steward
@thsottiaux Just a heads up, you guys locked an issue https://t.co/rmf9tAAbmx
for "getting too heated".
Fair. Protect your peace. But that issue is a SERIOUS regression.
I was shocked to realize it was intentional. I didn't get a chance to comment in that issue, but I certainly would have.
@dhasandev There'll always be more to say -- it's not comprehensive.
But what's being explained here is not yet broadly recognized, and it very accurately describes key dynamics and constraints that will govern standard practice for at least another 10 years.
@dhasandev Not to gas you up, but down to the paragraph it's the cleanest, most on-target writing on the subject that I've seen yet.
It makes most writing about 'software factories' look like those medieval paintings of lions, where the artist clearly hadn't actually seen one in real life.
