Respectfully, this is not a useful frame for the discussion. Nobody is expecting to reach the limit you have noted either with or without the assistance of LLMs. So there is always more math that could be done.


Because vowels are sounds, not letters

Can we start with TUIs? At some point Claude code CLI stopped responding to the keys I had been using to scroll the presented plan and it seems only the mouse wheel works


IMHO it's about proximity. It's easier to be inhumane from a distance.


IMHO, the verbosity is an attempt to make the results more deterministic. The more specific the prompt, the less wiggle room.


That argument is letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

There is no perfect security.


I've set up a second user on my machine just for running AI. That way I have the additional layer of OS protections against it doing something like that.


Some companies run at an extremely narrow margin. For example the margin for grocery stores is reportedly 1%. If you changed the tax system to tax gross revenues, now those stores would need to dramatically raise prices to accommodate.

It's not an easy problem.


It all depends on the tax level. If today they are texted at, say, 20%, this could be a 5% on gross revenue (or whatever), and indexed on the revenue (like for humans).

I also run on narrow margins, and nobody cares.


I am saying there are unintended consequences to such changes. If all the grocery stores all at once raised prices 5%, your margins might turn negative. And most of your neighbors.


Because if you are someone that generates good content you might not know anything about designing or hosting websites. But they can ask an AI to do it for them so they can focus on what they are good at, generating interesting content.


Which might be true if the content weren’t also AI slop.


Mighty obsessed with slop, is that what you give Alex Karp?


I wonder if the real difference is that everyone has earbuds versus playing through a speaker


We had earbuds in in early 2000s too, just not the wireless kind.


An important part of my observation is that everyone is using them, not just that they are available


And Bluetooth still doesn't have a good "headphone splitter" function to plug in 2 or more sets of headphones, does it?
