New comment by sriramgopalan in "Are readers generating fiction with AI models?"

This is interesting. We have seen the internet change many fields and democratize them. For instance, only a few media outlets produced news stories and analysis, the rest of us consumed it. Blogging changed that.

Only a few studios produced shows. With Youtube etc., many of the consumers could become producers themselves.

If I read this correctly, books and fiction are headed in the same direction.

How can it be legal to charge a higher fee for the Fable model, if most of the usage will default to a cheaper model behind the scenes?

It is one thing if I, as the user, choose to down-level but Claude shouldn't do this on its own.

New comment by sriramgopalan in "Solid and Clean Code never felt solid or clean to me"

I am sorry but nothing in the article clearly lays out how solid/clean code doesn't feel solid or clean. It seems to be a criticism of a specific person. What am I missing?
