Why does that bother you tho? Not having the moral ground changes the argument?

It just makes it weird. When the US does something bad and people go "but CHINA!" it's also weird.

Because it's very obvious whataboutism.

Sure and what's the problem with that?

If you can't explain why country A doing X is bad but country B doing similar thing isn't it probably means you don't have a good argument.


There's a whole wikipedia article discussing how it is both a logical fallacy and how it is often used as a tool of propaganda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

Please don't engage in whataboutism. One should be able to criticize China's actions without calling into discussion actions of other nations.

Do you go about threads criticizing US govt actions drawing parallels to similar actions in other regimes like China or Russia?


> God, do people not read my posts?

I don't know man, maybe you got too equalized yet but the things you say are not very smart. Getting angry over that isn't a good argument either.


Bro nobody is angry. You’re misreading everything. That line you quoted is more of a slight annoyance.

You probably need to look at your own reading comprehension skills before you comment on my intelligence.


Exactly. What service got better and/or cheaper?

Most software, other than Windows and macOS, seems to have gotten better more quickly lately.

Hard to quantify though, as most, other than the AI companies don't usually advertise their AI usage.


Could you give some examples?

Of course not. If they could, they would already.

On my side, I can give many examples of random software that became significantly worse since the AI trend started.

Trainline is practically unusable for purchasing itineraries that go accross multiple european countries. GitHub Actions now contains a bunch of extremely frustrating random bugs. Grammarly somehow gives worse copy recommendations.


There's no opulence in spending tokens for entertainment. Vibecoding your own game is the new viral game.

Typical AI psychosis. They might notice it soon or stay in this condition for months.

I don't think you really grasp the direction the world is taking or even really understand AI capabilities when it's put together to reach high automation, you might not agree or embrace it yet, but you will be joining the loop wagon, soon enough.

Yeah right. Sam Altman is as high as you on this drug, but you both are going to wake up soon.

can you explain further? Most especially, why do you see AI stopping anytime soon and not getting just insanely better and better for the next decades (that is through combination of models or models alone, harnesses or whatever, that's just a technicality)?

Why would I need to "wake up"?


Is what you working public? Publish it and let us know how it goes.

Yes, we are already public and funded, I was just describing "one task" among thousand to be fair. Can you elaborate your point?

Show us. I want to see how impressive it is the thing you're creating using AI.

you do realize that all tech companies are mostly running with AI nowadays? what kind of take is this?

> (might do an announcement in coming weeks).

Don't be surprised if/when people ignore your AI slop


Interesting is that they had the opportunity to explain but decided that hyping it more made more sense. 3 billion tokens!!1!

Someone from marketing getting full access is absolutely a Vercel failure.

Nobody is thinking about the stock owners, I see

It's so funny seeing people thinking this is not by design
