What about a law that bans house ownership and rentals unless you are a physical person and not a company? What would be the cons of such a thing?

We could rephrase it like this: “AI has removed all the excuses we had not to remove technical debt”

Yes, AI developed code might have vulnerabilities or bugs, but so already has your JSP based web server that has Oracle and God knows what else among dependencies.

So I could troll French visitors of my website by starting a huge data transfer from their browser?

Interesting...

So here we are. We’re in the new era of technology. Whoever has the best agents will win. As airport security, this is an asymmetrical war: the effort to protect your systems is going to be much higher than hacking them in the future. It’s just my opinion, but I foresee this happening given the strong capability the models are showing in reverse engineering.

Let’s not be this negative, we might be going towards a new direction with technology that could allow small teams to build their own models. Maybe not frontier models. Maybe not close to the others in generalized benchmarks. But perhaps they could be really specialized into solving one particular problem better than the others.

Is it? I mean they get payed more if they return longer answers.

In MacOS there are two ChatGPT apps. The new one and the old one called ChatGPT classic. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get the new one to work with either the “live” realtime mode or the vocal transcription feature.

It’s absurd, I have the latest OS version, a M4 MacBook, but the new app seems to be buggy as hell.

Is this the new software quality standard we should expect from a company that is worth billions (if not trillions)?

Just one info for many: if you’re a big company and have enterprise needs, subscriptions aren’t a solution. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (ain’t sure about them tbh), GitHub Copilot aren’t offering subsidized subscription prices in their enterprise plans; discounts are calculated differently and these services are much more expensive.

For example, Github Copilot has these AI credits that are insane in terms of costs with the usual token-based pricing.

Feel free to prove me wrong, I really wish I was.

If you use marijuana (not posses, just use) you can risk up to 7 years in jail.

Legalize it, organize free rock and roll parties with no phone policy every weekend, see sex and pregnancy rates go sky high in the matter of months.

This and maybe prosecute a parent when he/she kidnaps the children, denying visits or any interaction with the other parent.

Do both please.

This. Docker compose is so great that you don’t even need to use it, for it to be useful. It can describe so well the dependencies your system needs (alongside proper documentation).

> I prefer running services natively when possible, but will containerize complex services or those with many dependencies. Love: a service that’s a single Go binary. A service that only comes as a Docker compose file and wants to run MySQL, Redis, and three other containers? I’m already looking for an alternative.

Ok, I respect your opinion, but remember that there are poor souls like me out there that actually love the opposite.
