That's coming from a Spanish speaker used to the alphabet, QUERTY, etc. I imagine you'd find it much more difficult if C were written in Chinese or Arabic, for instance.

Windsurf was acquired for $3B by OAI and it's clearly the worse of the two. Cursor is trying to raise at a $10B valuation and has $300MM in ARR in less than two years.

So in short, yes, companies do appear to be showing some willingness to send Cursor their code, even with all the headache associated with getting a new vendor.

If Google doesn't do this, people will slowly (or even quickly, who knows?) move to Perplexity, ChatGPT, etc. I know I personally would abandon Google entirely if it didn't summarize results and help me avoid the SEO slopfest.

It's literally a free, ad-free app. If it were a website, I guarantee you HN would lambast it saying they could vibe-code it in 1 hour, it's not open sourced, etc. It's never enough for the naysayers.

Making OCR more accurate for regular text (e.g. data extraction from documents) would be useful; not sure how useful code transcription is

Why did you settle on ChatGPT and Grok? I paid annual for Claude and have Perplexity Pro via a promo but if I were to pick two, I think I'd personally settle for ChatGPT and Gemini right now.

What would you allow? Just one level deep? Two? All you'd be doing is incentivizing the creation of more proxies and more legal fees/inefficiencies to go along with it.

It's not. And an article doesn't have to come entirely from a person to be considered worth reading.

Okay, which state actor is going to buy this for $100,000? How are you going to sell it to them? What's the risk of getting caught?

Even if someone on telegram was telling me that Russia would buy this information for $100,000, I think I would reach out to Google and "settle" for $10k.

People keep talking about this as if there's a 0% chance of being caught if you do this?.

So let's suppose that you did set up the service like this. Can you even make 10 K? What are your odds of getting caught? How much do you value not being in prison and/or having to hire a lawyer to get you out of there?

I'd take the 10k every time.

Who are you advertising to? What is the risk of getting caught or getting scammed back while trying to receive your payment?

I feel like you are just taking into account the theoretical max value of a bad actor having these accounts, not the cost/risk of using this knowledge.

I could have the master key of a bank safe with 100MM worth of gold in the basement, but it's value is going to be nowhere near that, even to bad actors.

I think a simple way to think of it is: how much would an adversarial nation state buy this exploit for?

I just don't think Russia would be willing to pay $100,000 to get Mr. Beast's email address, even if that sounds tempting to you.
