If you're going to assume God exists without any evidence, you might as well also assume he is good, without evidence.
I don't think it'll become impossible or even illegal, but better safe than sorry.
Yes. Grab those open-weight models while you still can.
I've learned so much awk from Claude!
I wouldn't assume that. I would wish to see numbers on that first.
> Imo the future lies in a solid core programs with powerful plugin frameworks that expect all plugins to be code that was never read. What makes you think that?
This could've been a much better article without the strained Tower of Babel article.
I had to enable "exploit protection compatibility mode" to use my credit union's app.
