The same people that verify what a compiler spits out?

Apple says their users make 2.5B Siri requests per day. Sounds like people want it?

FOSS == Free Open Source Software, fyi.

China won't care. Their views on AI feels so vastly different than it does it in West. They'll see a pause as an opportunity to pull further ahead than they already are.

"If we execute these measures well, I believe they would slow China’s progress enough to widen America’s lead significantly over the next 3–5 years — the window when AI becomes geopolitically most important."

This is a pipe dream.

Not surprising. Bluesky is full of wannabe programmers who love talking down to actual developers.

Incredibly embarrassing for Google.

Good to see the most common sense option winning. Some of the other proposals were so disconnected from reality I'm surprised they were even considered.

Better than the latest Deepseek v4 Pro while being 3x cheaper in cost per task. Impressive!

This is incredible and super useful. More reasons to use my e-reader around the house instead of my phone.

This sounds like data they've already been collecting, they're just using it in a different way.

Rolling out data centers all over the place and they're paying billions for LESS energy supply.

Geniuses.

“People who disagree with me must be bots” is always a fun take.

"My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat—build AI models that are more powerful than those built by the US, and use them to achieve permanent military superiority or perpetrate incredibly deep repression of their own people."

Look in the mirror.

> Bun is the quintessential AI slop project at this point.

To call the Bun rewrite "quintessential slop" is all I need to know to not take this person or their project seriously.

Lower up-front cost and hardware longevity are the two major ones. Whenever GTA VI launches on PC, good luck running it on your $500 PC from 2020.

“If I can't give people physical games as gifts anymore, why should I bother buying the new console?”

“Man, Valve really does win by doing absolutely nothing while the rest of the industry shoots itself in the head.”

Good luck buying physical games on PC?

This is going to happen more and more. AI is a tool that should make your employees more efficient not replace them outright. And if it doesn't make your employees better? I guess AI isn't applicable to your business then.

I can see a lot of companies coming to this realization over the coming months and years.

The pricing is all out of sorts. Close to $500 more expensive than a PS5 for worse performance. I understand this is a PC and you can do other things with it, but if you're buying a gaming device to play games this is a horrible value.

Which then gets tossed into a compiler and who knows what kind of code that thing spits out. That's why I only support projects written in assembly by real programmers.

"Even it that'd be the best code and design in the world, I won't use it. I don't trust it."

Nothing about this sentence makes sense. What don't you trust about code you can see and audit yourself? What's untrustworthy about "the best code and design in the world"?

Sometimes I wonder if any of this will even matter in a few years. How many of us compile code and then have to clean up the assembly, or even worry about what a compiler generates as long as it's correct?

You should post the results of your source code audit.

"Disabling attribution of LLM-generated code is fraud, because you’re saying you wrote the code."

Should there by attribution for Google or Stack Overflow copy/paste? Who should we bully about this?

Bluesky is insufferable. Literally any issue in any program is labelled "#vibecoded" by these clearly genius-level engineers who've never shipped a bug.

Is it weird that I want a mono version if this? Looks really great, really well designed.

This is a great idea. Even if you're one of those developers squarely focused on getting the final result working, code quality still matters (to people and LLMs).

Everyone should be doing regular code reviews and this helps a lot.

Maybe don't use the most expensive models on the planet? Maybe use AI like a tool and not this black box that grants wishes?
