@HeadlessHessi @HeerRozenwater @Gerashchenko_en There's a lot of leeway for the one that didn't start or want the military conflict.

The cause is a hunger for legacy by Putin.

@dessaigne You had an LLM write this thread. I'm sure it took you no time at all, but it also has no value.

The real trick is finding customers who genuinely don't care about quality, and will accept anything, I guess.

@wickedpands @OpenAI Increased capacity means increased cost for OpenAI. They lose money the more people use it.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@ID_AA_Carmack For frontier models, optimizing for *more* convolution makes more business sense.

It requires more tokens to parse, which increases income. Code that's so obtuse a human can't understand it ties you to using an LLM.

So you'd be looking to local LLMs to simplify code.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@mosyaseen @ThePrimeagen I'd take responsibility for the version I wrote. I would refuse to take responsibility for the version you wrote without a thorough review.

LLMs can generate code in such volumes that they'll never be thoroughly reviewed.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@ThePrimeagen Have you tried waving a dead chicken over it?

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@AnthropicAI At a 75% success rate (assuming no one reviewed the mountain of output) that means the failures produced by Claude now exceed twice your normal code production.

And that's assuming the remaining 75% is good code, which is suspect.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@savy_builder @negligible_cap Which model did you use to generate this post, and how much did it cost?

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@gatorgar Starship hasn't yet reached stable Earth orbit. Getting to the moon is many years away. That's probably why it hasn't been talked about.

@PalmerLuckey @TheDemocrats True, ICE agents shot and killed two unarmed Americans in a blind panic, which is the opposite of "in cold blood".

@maxi_j309 @ThePrimeagen You can cosplay as an expert in 5 minutes, you mean.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@ThePrimeagen The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. A thief and his gang get into trouble.

If you want something that takes a while: Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. 10 books of doorstop (military) fantasy on an epic scale.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@AI_GPT42 @edzitron @Microsoft Greedy? They were running at a loss. Presumably, this is simply what it costs.

Once other companies decide to stop losing money, they'll increase prices as well.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@devx89 @edzitron The exact amount is hard to predict, but think in a similar ballpark for Opus.

I suggest learning how to code.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@s8mb @davemaney @jackclarkSF That prediction was bunk. Source: am a software developer.

It's like having an industrious, motivated, dimwitted intern. It can ship lots of terrible software that mostly/barely works.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@sameandnot @yegor256 Agents don't write that much code.

There's a lot of hype, sure, but ultimately there's a limit to how much slop you can push to production and still have functional software.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@YorchTorchGames @Subnautica Such a pathetic way to spend your existence.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@garrytan Datacenters themselves don't create any jobs.

You yourself claim to be doing 10x the work by yourself, so that's excluding people from doing the work.

[Nebulous @nebulous_nl]

@jarredsumner @appfactory Any insights into how much code has been out could be replaced by library functions, or violate Rust's language idioms?

I'm assuming it's not going to replace the original as-is, but getting things to work is usually the easy part of software development.

Still impressive!

@morganlinton How is your company going to weather the shift to token based billing?

Once they stop offering subsidized plans, every major provider is going to be as expensive.
