Re:In LLM era, can software startup survive? on Sunday November 01, 2026 @06:31PM (#50331028)
The code was never the hard part. Understanding the market, developing product market fit, and evolving is the hard part.

Large companies aren't going to chase every opportunity.

Is this.. The right approach? Who decides what gets to be reverse engineered and what doesn't? I don't have a solution to offer, but I bristle at the idea of one indistry deciding which other industries suffer the negative externalities of their product, while others they decide are spared.

Oh man, Patrick Stewart is a base rock part of my personality. Star Trek The Next Generation was formative for me ages 7-12. Sad to see him go.

Sorry, I just can't see how this isn't a desperate money grab before a collapse.

The Chinese companies won't let this succeed.

I'm not sure what the overall principle is here, can't quite put my finger on it, but if your PS5 just inherently is able to play steam games like this and it is just an artificial limitation companies place on the hardware that prevents of from doing so... it just seems _wrong_ that you should be prevented. That this requires jailbreaking is the injustice
My biggest doubt isn't whether AI will find applications for speeding up people outside of tech, but that it will atrophy learning and cognitive development to the extent that in 20 years human ability without AI will be on average much lower than it is today. Overall with AI augmentation we may be more effective, but strip away that tool and the human left behind will be less
Honestly, given the surveillance capitalism of it all, I take this as a win. The termostst should have been dumb the whole time, not an avenue for harvesting our data.

More dumb electronics please.
