Language learning is a fun hobby for some people.

this would be amazing, absolutely. Especially if they were able to see specifically where my power comes from, the embedded carbon in the chipsets used to serve my requests, all the costs associated with the datacenter(s), etc. A weekly breakdown would be excellent.

My output is easily 2-3X what it was two years ago. With the introduction of Claude to everyone in the company (HR, finance, marketing, product, dev, etc), so came the expectations of what used to take 2 quarters can now be done in a couple sprints. I would be even more underwater working in "The Old Way" regardless of comp, with how deadlines are being set now. That being said, I don't know how long this will last, I'm not the only 'top talent' at the company facing warning signs of burnout.

Longterm, I believe my total output would be higher working with minimal AI when you consider the impact to motivation and how long I anticipate staying with the company.

I still don't know if I hate them because they are visually slop, or that the businesses farmed out sign creation to the slop machine

My browser popped up a modal saying 'Did you mean openai.com? Attackers sometimes mimic sites by making hard-to-see changes to the web address'.

I'm a developer at a company who has signed contracts to use Claude. I wish I had a choice in model providers, especially considering I spend around $4k in API tokens each month, my company as a whole is around a million. I desperately wish I could use OpenAI models or open weights, Claude's writing style is definitely contributing to my sense of burnout.

The problem is AI and the internet's leakage into everything else. Marketing copy, prose in public spaces, even books... I really hope that society as a whole accepts that human-written text is more valuable than AI-written.

I thought they are making a profit on API pricing? A quick Google shows somewhere between 50-70% margins on API inference.

I hope we get clarification on this, I can't find anything claiming that it is compatible with ZDR.

I can't find anything about whether this is zero data retention, or falls under their required 30 day retention like Fable and Mythos?

If your company is a certain size or cares about ZDR, you need to be on an Enterprise plan which is API pricing. $300/day here on average.

Here, people tend to forget about enterprise customers. Enterprise is excluded from using these heavily subsidized subscriptions, I know of orgs that are spending around $500k/month for teams of ~100 developers actively using AI.

This is the best voice/tone I've seen from any model so far. It's using filler words and phrases in places that normal people would put them, rather than sounding like a corporate customer support agent!

Not having my hair and scalp act as the MIPS system is worth the $20 extra to me.

There are huge backlogs of folks for imaging... Radiologists aren't exactly sitting around daydreaming all day waiting for a patient.

American or corporate? I'm surprised that corporate talk overseas isn't overly enthusiastic! As an American, most of the stream has sounded very 'California' mixed with corporate.

Do you really prefer webcam + opentrack over the trackir? Asking because I literally have a trackir on the way to me in the mail, and most discussions I could find were at least 2-3 years old.

Most (all?) 401k plans limit you to a pre-picked list of ETFs and mutual funds you can invest in. Not to mention the standard advice for decades has been 'broad market index fund'.

For F-1/OPT there is no 'pending immigrant visa case' status that lets them remain in-country after OPT expires.
