Wait until you see real usage. Benchmark numbers do not necessarily translate to real world performance (at least not by the same amount).

I know at least of a major LATAM company which has dashboards to see AI usage per employee and they will call your attention if you don't use it enough.

For me another Notion or Jira is not "disruptive software" I would expect disruptive software to be so... well, disruptive, as to fit a completely new niche or be so overwhelmingly better than their competitors that it doesn't even need good marketing.

> AI as it is being developed is likely to centralize it

Depends on how you see it.

I know many people building oss, local alternatives to enterprise software for specific industries that cost thousands of dollars all thanks to AI.

If everyone can produce software now and at a much complex and bigger scale, it's much easier to create decentralized and free alternatives to long-standing closed projects.

You do understand that the above comment is talking about how the use and reliance on LLMs is what centralizes power right? It's great people can build these tools, but if the means to build these tools are controlled by three central companies where does that leave us?

That would imply that there will never be an adequate open weights coding model. That might be true, but seems unlikely.

I agree with you. One counterargument is that producing software was never a path to adoption unless you had distribution and the big companies (OpenAI, Anthropic) have distribution on a scale that individuals will not.

On one hand yes, but also a big company can now potentially copy your project for pennies and have far bigger outreach and marketing so they eat your market.

Big companies have always been able to copy your project for pennies, relatively.

Yes but even then, it required people assigned to the project, middle management and time.

Now one could even envision a near future where they have agents running 24/7 automatically scanning for new SaaS projects and cloning them, and just throwing slop into the market to see if it sticks.

Way more concerned about the one-man shops who have no real sturdy backend or support services trying to drive-by undercut important industries

than Oracle all of a sudden being able to figure out (with AI, magic, or otherwise) what users want.

This isn’t really how marketing works, and randomly throwing slop into the market is not how good brands get built.

I wouldn’t worry about it anymore than you worried about it pre-AI.

You can search and watch videos directly with no issue, but main feed and suggestions on the side of videos are not appearing.

Really goes to show how much I depend on the algorithmic recommendations, I have no idea what to watch having to search manually. Usually my feed always has something that piques my interest.

edit: back up

If you are subscribed to channels, I really recommend using Subscriptions instead of home page. Otherwise, you may miss videos from your favorite creators just because YT decided so.

Search on YouTube has been broken for at least 4 to 5 years.

Some time back it used to find stuff. Now its just recommends shorts.

> This license will be tied to your identity and it will become a hard requirement for employment, citizenship, housing, loans, medical treatment, and more. Not having it will be a liability. You will be excluded from society at large if you do not comply.

That's just an American thing, I've never owned a car and most people of my age I know haven't either.

That's fair. The public infrastructure in other places around the world is a lot more hospitable to other methods of transportation.

Perhaps Permutation City by Greg Egan though I didn't finish the book.

I've heard Accelerando by Stross is good too.

Why this and not Garnix?

10k is more close to a yearly software developer salary in my country than a monthly one.

That being said at least the $20/mo Claude Code subscription is really worth it, and many companies are paying for the AI tools anyways.
