Thankfully this, like most other tech, will get cheaper through the years.

Bingo. They see this as the future commodity it will be. Customers will choose AI providers much way they choose a car: taste, price, a few other factors.

And to your point, Google has a massive balance sheet, produces their own AI chips, and is not going anywhere anytime soon.

It's not about the paywall in this case. It's to prevent AI companies from scraping a publication's archives for training data. If AI companies want that data, they can compensate publishers, not extract it for free from the Internet Archive.

On some level, it's the lesser of two evils. Both do suck as options, I agree.

I'm not jumping in with both feet, either, but "never" is a very big word.

Same. Legit groan laugh in an oh-no kind of way when I read this:

I've thought about this a lot as well and could definitely see it happening.

Yep. There's no certification needed to create a financial model or close monthly books.

Yikes. They even placed his name and bio on the Notepad++ for Mac website to help legitimize it.

I wish you would have taken the time to reply and clarify your comment. I've been here for 16 years – my commenting history is readily available. My words and thoughts are my own.

That's a solid point. I've often thought about how a hit TV series some day might come out of one person's apartment.

AI is inverting the old "ideas are worthless; value is in the execution" adage. Ideas themselves will be valuable.

Wait, are you implying I used an LLM to write my comment? Sorry if I'm misreading what you're saying.

Absolutely and you're dead on thinking about the opening of the possibility space. The value of software as an enterprise will fall as we enter an age of abundant, and often custom, bespoke software. There will be many great apps coming and some lousy apps.

Another thing to watch for is how chatty the internet is about to become. A great many of these apps will hit APIs, ping each other, and so forth.

Love your point about how AI tools are boosting fun side projects and how it reminds of early creator internet. Spot on.

Not only that, but they can make life inconvenient for your family. Nobody reasonable would accuse the CCP of outright violence, but there are a million bureaucracy-related tricks the state can pull to leverage you and/or your family.

I agree 100%. At the same time, I feel like this piece, and our comments on it are snapshots in time because of the rate of advancement in the industry. These coding models are already significantly better than they were even nine months ago.

I can't help but read complaints about the capabilities of AI – and I'm certainly not accusing you of complaining about AI, just a general thought – and think "Yet" to myself every time.
