I am still sceptical of the roi and the time i am supposed to sink into trying and learning these AI tools which seem to be replacing each other every week.
I‘m very similar. I noticed that people who are very easy to speak to share one trait: they have no shame to tell you the same story multiple times. It bores the hell out of me every times. If i try to do it, i get bored as well.
You completly forgot about the invention of the home computer. If we would have all been loging into some mainframe computer using a home terminal your assessment would be correct.
- Believe in capitalism and that venture capital allows us to build things that are better for humankind
- Technological progress is good
- Automation and the increased productivity it brings is good
- Individualism: people should be allowed to use tools as they wish, and they not should not be limited to the use cases someone else finds acceptable. Are people allowed to do stuff we don't like?
- Freedom of speech: If it is AI generated slop, you are still allowed to say it even if it makes you to look like an idiot
Let's take vibe coding as an example. The user tobylane would prefer not to allow vibe coding to exist, because it causes him personal nuisance to see vibe-coded pull requests. But then, most people who do vibe coding do it because they like it and it brings them joy and productivity.
I dont see the author expressing any views opposing these except for the „freedom of speech“ which is actually about ownership. And he is right to do so because it brings us back to the stealing and lying. If you offered me a book i would like to know if it had been made off the backs of others without compensetion or consent OR if it is a work of your own. And i feel i have a right to know.
This must be the single most wonderful magazine archive i have ever seen and it's even searchable. This would be so nice to have with music, fashion and lifestlye magazines. The zooming in and out of decades is a breeze.

Or catalogs. But scanning them in archival quality is a massive pain in the ass. And don't get me started on all the scalpers, who sell catalogs at prices beyond good and evil.
With some luck, yes. I’ve had o3 in cursor successfully diagnose a couple of quite obscure bugs in multithreaded component interactions, on which I’d probably spend a couple of days otherwise.
