So did the people who built Deno

I would argue for many people social media and news aggregators do the exact same thing. People site Instagram or TikTok as the source of their data in the same way others site ChatGPT

Is this any different than people who believe random things they read on sketchy news sites or social media?

But OpenAI has more serious competition than those others did when they were coming up. That puts pressure on them to figure out ads and they dragged their feet getting started

Deepseek showed that distillation is possible. Their results are possible without someone else doing the leading edge training

Same and honestly I haven't really missed my ChatGPT subscription since I canceled. I also have access to both (ChatGPT and Claude) enterprise tools at work and rarely feel like I want to use ChatGPT in that setting either

Who said "we have to tax them, or else they leave"? That doesn't seem to be what anyone is saying. The issue is that this group is threatening to leave if they are taxed.

I agree you should want to avoid having an income disparity like this, but we are where we are. The goal of this tax is to help correct that disparity.

I agree with this, but there were/are alternatives to Google that are functional but not as good. People still ended up choosing to use Google.

Interesting that this is better than Opus 4.1. I want to see how this holds up under real world use, but if that's the case its very impressive.

I wonder how long it will be before we get Opus 4.5

Aren't the "defineApp" and "route" methods in rwsdk also magic? It feels like rwsdk is just being more deliberate about when and where to introduce those magic functions.

I'm a big fan of rwsdk so far. Thanks for building!
