Yeah, after scrutinizing the graph more closely, I'm actually surprised that people are even taking this headline seriously. There's been far larger "plateaus" in the past. And the growth in usage just this year, just…
I'm actually gonna go against the grain here and say that token maxxing is not dead. In fact, it's just getting started. Maybe not in the short term. I mean, who knows how things are gonna shake out financially…
"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine" - REM, 1987 The world has always been in overlapping crises, the only difference now is that it's constantly blared into your face by your pocket screen.…
I think Google, mainly Demis, just made a bad bet that multimodal world models would be the key to unlocking massive progress. Anthropic made the bet that it would be coding, and they were right. OpenAI was originally…
Why wouldn't you buy a Quest then? It's less than half the price.
"I sincerely apologize for this oversight, and it won't happen again." Followed by pressing "new chat" and it forgets everything.
Why they decided to include standalone functionality is beyond me. It's a $1000 dollar VR headset. 99.9% of people buying this will already have a beefy gaming setup and will much prefer to stream from that instead of…
Almost like nobody should be paying attention to what a bunch of random second rate journalists think about who the top AI leaders are. I'm honestly surprised TIME still exists.
Does anyone really believe that Bill Gates would propose any kind of truly altruistic plan, that is to say, would he ever support any AI regulation plan that actually hurts his bottom line at the end of the day? I don't…
Honestly though, if they legitimately achieve RSI, I feel like all bets are off and anything could happen.
What on earth does this opinion have to do with anything?
The truth for me at least is that these models became "good enough" around Opus 4.6. I feel like further capability improvements, "step changes" like we saw with agentic coding, aren't necessarily going to come from the…
Search revenue miss, apparently. Not sure whether this has happened before. But I wonder if this could be the long-predicted beginning of the downfall of search as a "money printer".
I actually tend to agree with Sweeney here. At the same time, I think this is kind of doomed for the near future, as people turn more and more against AI. Especially gamers, who now are paying double or triple for the…
Firing everyone is lunacy. I think this revolution is here to stay though, and SWE workflows are going to crystallize around "building the agent systems that build the product" rather than "building the product".
This article seems to conveniently ignore the fact that the latest models have essentially solved coding.
I tend to agree with you here. This is the equivalent of that scene in Better Call Saul where Jimmy makes a commercial without getting sign-off from the partners. It doesn't matter whether the thing worked - this is…
Who is in charge of naming things at Google? Like a five syllable word followed by "AI", I couldn't think of a worse name for a product competing for mind share.
Hmm. Gabbard is on the way out. Something tells me that perhaps her bosses may not be so happy about this disclosure.
Hmm, so for $30 a month you basically get 10% cash back. There's some break even point here if you use Waymo enough. I think in SF, this would make a lot of sense, especially since there are so many Waymos up there to…
OK, well the "circumstances and context" here are that most people commenting on HN live in the United States, so obviously they will be better off if the United States does well. I don't think your "um actually, you…
Windmills? They don’t work. They’re too expensive. They kill all the birds. They ruin your landscapes. Yet, the environmentalists love the windmills. I’ve been preaching this for years. The windmills. I had them way…
So? Just because some competitor could have possibly formed in an alternate universe doesn't make the company or Page / Brin's contribution any less valuable.
Uh yes, because they founded the company? If Google was never founded nobody would be working there, don't think I need a citation for that.
> The Bezos and Musks and Kalanicks of the world believe that this is correct. They truly think they do something in their 24 hours of daily human life that makes them hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than…
