OpenAI has the mindshare but they going to have to decide if they allocate their limited compute for free users or go all in trying to keep up with Anthropic in enterprise.

Do you going into this rant when a coworker asks about vacation days too?

The question in my mind is if you need to become less productive to keep your thinking skills sharp. Do we need to separate the work from the "gym". We have times when we are using AI heavily to be as productive as possible. Then we have other times where we don't use it all to keep us sharp.

Is this necessary or are we being old fashion? I lean more towards this being necessary but if I grew up with AI, I might look at not using it as trying to write a web app in assembly. Yes, I learned it in college but there no reason to keep using it.

The issue with dating apps has more to do with women being able to be incredibly picky. Better photos let’s a average looking guy get a chance. The top 1-5% that all women want to match with don’t need to bother with this at all.

The average person would not have any issue with have a couple more buttons to press to cancel prime. Thinking this is the view of only “rich, amoral technologists” is just wrong. Extending that dismiss anything else they speak about policy is the point of view of an extreme zealot.

Most people like Amazon overall. The process to cancel prime is orders of magnitude easier and more clear than countless business that force phone calls, letters or in person to cancel. Most people would shrug if you told them about this case.

There is another part where he just saying how things are which people don’t like to hear. They don’t like how powerful the big tech companies are but don’t want to grapple with the reasons they are big or delve into the nuances of the impacts of changing the status quo. People just want to hear big tech bad, let’s hurt big tech. If your looking for that, there countless pundits that will provide that “analysis”.

He is absolutely willing to regulate big tech. He was immediately against the purchase of WhatsApp and Instagram.
