Evidence if it is needed that devs don’t really understand what differentiates the value of these products is not the code but the sales team

Just vaguely remember what my cardiologist told me. This is absolute, not relative. Which, and I'm definitely not saying it's insignificant.

It is a big difference and definitely worth doing

This is a little bit misleading.

'Preventing a heart attack' means taking life long medication to reduce the risk of heart attack by about 1%, which is worth doing, but complicates the maths a little bit. The scan doesn't magically make you healthy or 'much' less likely to have a heart attack

same reason people buy any new device, form factor. we have one in our kitchen and love it, it gets spun around like an ipad .

seems obvious in hindsight that if you double the productivity of the builder, then the customer will want the wall twice as tall.

So what's the context for this? A third accept, so 20k redundancies in a year? 10% churn is very high? doesn't sound high compared to other tech companies.

Are we sure this isn't click bait

(not rhetorical, genuine question)

i'm not really seeing anything new or dramatic in the data. Industries adapt to technology over time, as we see in publishing since the 60s, and i'm not seeing anything to suggest 2026 is much different

Without knowing where these workers went, it's hard to take this sectioned data too seriously

For all this data knows, a decent number of them are making online content with AI assisted tools.

the author does concede the higher level data is less dramatic, in the closing statement but not before he got the clicks

anthropic has record breaking revenue growth already, why complicate it

more users = more training data

if is happening already, there would be stats to back it up. My brief 5 minutes of research suggests it is not.

in my experience AI is helping me defend against potential vulnerabilities, and so the net impact of these threats is net zero or less, even if I'm quite slow in patching stuff

That's an interesting theory I wonder if there is much evidence to back it up.

I'm not seeing reports of dramatic increase in hacks.

It will be interesting test case today, will we see huge amounts of hacks or not.

safest option no doubt, let's see what percentage of unpatched websites are hacked today.

That's not likely to happen. You don't even know what the exploit is.

Anyway my point is I'm much less likely to get hacked in this new era of AI assistance, as I'm only a few days behind, rathe than a few months or years behind.

I had my app running on unsupported php version for 'years', because i didn't have anyone handy to update it.

so even if it takes a few days to get my AI agent to do this, it's still a vastly more secure landscape for an amatuer like me

Plenty of concept hypercars barely scrape 100 sales, the point is largley marketing in most cases

It's very obvious which comments are from those without kids and a busy kitchen. This hardware is built to sell apple family one subs. The multiuser is not a feature of the iPad, and this alone means an iPad can't replicate this.

As you get older you start to realise half of hot takes are a result of living in a different half of the economy which doesn't quite get things like the suburbs are appealing

cheating in chess is illustrative. the output is almost identical so we require proof of human effort. nobody wants to watch computers play.

wasd and 1080 is about as far as gaming will ever go until we have sub 50g vr

It all reminds me of when Amazon website used to get laughed at but those who overweighted their design preferences. The first ai poster in the list look fine to me

The top ones which are all the same are better than any that which follow. To my eye.

Guess it’s subjective. I’m looking for fair info. He is looking for design uniqueness.

Sounds good in theory, what's the practical reality in your experience?

its' something older people want. that's where the demographics are going. people with faded hearing and memories

It has strong sales so must assume the gameplay loop is enjoyable by a lot of players, but I don't think I'll ever understand

everything ages and matures and goes through stages of experimentation and conservation. it would be much weirder if it didn't happen.

if you want a young thing, go find a young thing

I suppose it depends on the value of the individual task. I can't imagine it's really realistic to lock down devices of mechanical Turk workers in such a way that ai use can be monitored.

In any case Locking down devices isn't really pragmatic at scale for relatively low value tasks, and also introduces complexity about employment law where I am.

I've used Mechanical Turk in the early days but developed my own version for my vertical to manage freelancers.

The problem as I see it is verifying the work is not done by AI. If it was possible to verify somehow that the work is definitely not done by AI I think there would still be a market for this. But the data just cannot be trusted.

An increasingly big part of my job is to try and weed out workers who use AI and it's not an easy task at scale because generally workers gain trust with manual work and then there is degradation over time.

revenue is probably the better indicator of whether revenue is growing or not

not every profession has excess, not sure I can get on board with the idea that candy crush is of equal value to any job. money is just a measure of goods and services.

I think you missed my point. But you think the bounds of every field of research and technology has expanded, except language?

To learn how to read and write well, then you would do just as well, if not better, to read modern authors at the top of their fields. I wouldn't exclude thrillers. Reading Chaucer in old English, to stretch the point to breaking, is not going to give you any kind of edge. Maybe it will teach you a bit of French, but again, you are better off reading modern French literature for that.

I suspect you were not forced to read the classics as I was. Much of it is stuffed with overly flowery prose and immature ideas. It's mostly tradition that keeps them alive.

There is much personal satisfaction in literature, but I would place it much closer to leisure than work.
