Your argument holds across the supply-curve of software-engineering-skills. However, there must be some threshold where a previously employed dev is now sol because AI+Human outcompetes him (ie the supply curve has shifted, and the point they used to occupy is not unprofitable)

true, but ~all new users have a stronger mental model of how their phone works vs. big-screen devices.

These services run on the blockchain, right? So in effect, there is no blocking them.

Any answer to this question must also consider the current cost/token and its downward trajectory as algo and hardware advances drive down costs.

Good points, but consider what this post does prove: people’s arguments against AI art are shallow; they often attack the artifacts themselves instead of making your deeper argument.

It’s a great system until every department is angry at the one for messing up the system.

As a system provider you take responsibility not only for maintenance, but also to tank the blame once something invariably goes wrong

Here’s my guess as to Apple's reasoning: They like to dominate suppliers, but TSMC is in such high demand that they’re on equal footing now. Going into bed with Intel gives them the chance to set strict terms again.

I think a huge gap in the market today is documentation that is both easy for humans to navigate and understand, but also readily ingestible for agents.

Might your impression of these pictures be colored by your life experience during that time, ie. you might have been in your early twenties with the iPhone 4, and those pictures carried the smell of that time in your life.

No because the goomba is the average of two real opinions, and the strawman is a distortion/reduction of any opinion such that its easy to argue against.

Rule does not apply to gadgets that already retain 80% charge capacity at 1k charge cycles.
