It's 44 percent down the last 3 months...

stock price, not assets.

Ha, that was exactly my thoughts to! Code is turning into a commodity. Nothing special anymore or something you need to protect. It's turning into cheap coal.

Dare I say, there won't be a revolution.

Doubt that very very much

I could doubt tobacco is a drug cause I don't need it and don't find it interesting, but if I look around beyond just myself it's hard to doubt.

Tobacco doesn’t consume time.

In an economy, time is an important asset. When people are scrolling, they are neither creating nor consuming (spending money), which makes them inert from the GDP standpoint. It’s an economic blackhole.

This is why the government needs to care. If it goes unchecked, it will bring the economy to its knees. No country in the world can afford to have a significant portion of its population burn their time and energy like that.

Are you sure? Having an excuse for smoke breaks during work seemed to be a really good selling point

You doubt that it's a drug?

Or you doubt that internal messages describing IG as a drug are relevant to a lawsuit over social media addiction?

I think they might doubt that it will doom Meta

Correct, Meta won the war, just like loot boxes will keep existing, while proven to be designed to make you addicted.

People are just way to optimistic instead of realistic.

> People are just way to optimistic instead of realistic.

Apathetic is a more appropriate description. This is as optimistic as hoping to not contract lung cancer without ever bothering to quit smoking.

Scalpers work around it. But a normal person looking for something? Fuck!

Man I hate this

I feel more and more like. That email should be like DMs.

Do you want to accept emails from xxx?

Yes

No

On client side...

I think that would lead to this:

Do you want to accept emails from "For a limited time, save up to 35% on orders from Fluppsi! Click Yes for this amazing opportunity!"

Very dangerous, when the same From address may be used for "Log in inside 14 days or your dormant account will be deleted".

Google can run the models profitable, thanks to their custom tpus. The rest? No idea

Google and Meta can both subsidize their AI divisions with their ad money.

That too, but I think someone said that Google AI cost is true costs. Unlike others.

Well, they vibe code almost every tool at least

Claude Code has accumulated so much technical dept (+emojis) that Claude Code can no longer code itself.

yeah, and it gets so clunky and laggy when the context grows. Anthropic just can't make software and yet they claim 90% of code will be written by AI by yesterday.

What’s the opposite of bootstrapping? Stakebooting?

Sell to Google and run away

pulling yourself down by your chinstrap

Hmm... VC funded?

I believe its "digging your own grave"

Have a max plan, didn't use it much the last few days. Just used it to explain me a few things with examples for a ttrpg. It just hanged up a few times.

Max plan and in average I use it ten times a day? Yeah, I am cancel. Guess they don't need me

That's about what I'm getting too! It just literally stops at some point, and any new prompt it starts, then immediately stops. This was even on a fairly short conversation with maybe 5-6 back and forth dialogs.

I blame chats and online forums for banning anything off topic and or political/ religious discussions.

Which led to:

echo chambers

Forgetting how to debate and discuss things.

You needed to go full out with guns blazing to get seen before you vanished and the discussion getting locked or deleted.
