I wish more would do that and let me make up my own mind, instead of pursuing a specific editorial line cherry-picking what news to comment and how to spin them, which seems to be the case for most (I’m talking in general terms).

If anything, manufacturers that are able to provide working, compatible solutions should be preferred by consumers to those that don't, and the laws of economics will take care of the rest.

But some of those manufacturers have large loyal customer bases that will find ways to justify them even if they were to employ child labor, so there is that.

It’s easy to think “eh, it will never happen to me” but hindsight is 20/20. I impulse-donated to things like Wikipedia in the past and I’m susceptible to FOMO as most people.

ChatGPT said: You're chatting with ChatGPT based on the GPT-4o architecture (also known as GPT-4 omni), released by OpenAI in May 2024.

There should be a quicker way to differentiate between 'consumer-grade hardware that is mainly meant to be used for gaming and can also run LLMs inference in a limited way' and 'business-grade hardware whose main purpose is AI training or running inference for LLMs".

So, if rate limits are based on an overall token cost, it is likely that one will hit them first if CC reads a few files and writes a lot of text as output (comments/documentation) rather than if it analyzes a large codebase and then makes a few edits in code.

1) If you are a salaried employee, if you are seen as less productive than your colleagues that use AI, at the very least you won't be valued as much. Either you will eventually earn less than your colleagues or be made redundant.

2) If you are a consultant, you'll be able to invoice more work in the same amount of time. Of course, so will your competitors, so that rates for a set amount work will probably decrease.

3) If you are an entrepreneur, you will be able to create a new product hiring less people (or on your own). Of course, so will your competitors, so that the expectations for viable MVPs will likley be raised.

In short, if AI coding assistants actually make a programmer more productive, you will likely have to learn to live with it in order to not be left behind.

"Don't apologize. Don't say I'm right. Don't say it's a good idea. Don't say something is fixed unless I say so. Don't say that the issue is clear now. Don't use emojis. Keep a detached, professional tone and focus on the matter at hand.".

Worth every token.

It would be interesting to know from where Chatgpt sourced those figures as some of them look very sketchy.

Scientific knowledge evolves as new discoveries are made, immutable and unequivocal “truth” is the realm of religion, not science (which makes the former much more appealing to many than the latter).

Trust really should not erode if X acted in good faith based on the consensus knowledge at the time.

The current console generation is 4 years old and it’s at mid-cycle at best.

Games running on modern consoles are visually marginally better than those in the previous generation, and AAA titles are so expensive to develop that consoles will still be the target HW.

I really could not be bothered in updating my 3080…

Have I missed a new “Crysis”?

In terms of actual usefulness, it’s one of the AI tools that most impressed me.

The main issue is, of course, privacy.

I have tried to reproduce something similar using AnythingLLM and the low tier Llama models, but of course the experience is much worse, both in terms of results, response times and UI. If someone knows of a better local setup, I’m all ears.

I would consider a Workspace subscription if I could actually trust Google to make good on the commitment of not reading your stuff, which I’m finding hard to do…

I’m no Microsoft hater, but their track record in implementing that feature at a basic level definitely does not bode well for something more complex…
