ok, well if youd like to trade in 14billion dollars of revenue for better quality feel free.

Hmm. I can definitely understand what the author was saying.

Paraphrased: ChatGPT often completes complex solutions in one try whereas Claude does not (or performs less well).

I guess you can’t take me seriously?

no i cant. chatgpt is a mobile app/website, not a model or agentic harness. if you are confusing these things then sadly you have no idea whats going on.

Elon is a social dumbass with the emotional maturity of an edgy 14 year old boy, but calling him a fraud I'd say is false and unproductive.

Given the massive string of lies he spun about "full self driving" over the last decade or more, I don't think so.

Even before his recent political turn when he got widely vilified, I didn't trust him because of his record.

He is absolutely a fraud. He has been lying about many things for more than a decade to boost his stock. He has more in common with Trevor Milton than anyone else.

An atheist might call Franklin Graham or Jerry Falwell a fraud, but the people who fill the stadiums and pews keep coming back, year after year, decade after decade, generation after generation. They are obviously getting something positive out of the experience.

Same with Musk and the stock market. At some point, victim-blaming may be the only rational explanation left. His followers are rubes falling for a fraud, yes, but it can hardly be considered involuntary or exploitative at this point. The rubes have become rich simply by sticking together under Musk's benevolent gaze, dominating financial discourse in the broader market. It will continue to work for them, right up until it doesn't.

He's been lying through his teeth for the better part of two decades, "fraud" is true and productive.

did you watch the 90 second video in the post? all of this is addressed

No but I have now. It’s hard to tell from that few seconds but it doesn’t look like it’s really putting the developer in the driving seat, just providing a minimal escape hatch for manual edits.

what you view as subtly manipulative is just having good social skills

It’s both.

Nah I’m using it extensively, I know the limits. I do not think scaling is going to magically fix the fundamental limits of attention LLMs

business success does not scale at the speed of increased profits from layoffs.

It's true but it's also not real growth. It will look good the first time you do it. It also relies on there being no negative growth induced by AI not meeting the same quality of output that thousands of workers were once doing.

If it is truly because of AI, then it's still a losing strategy long term in my opinion.

most businesses dont actually have an infinite amount of work that has extremely high ROI. every new project at google for example has to justify the engineering spend of developing a product that has comparable margin to the ad business. Why spend 10 million a year of engineering resources on a new product that might 1. completely fail or 2. be a decent product with 20% margins when they could do nothing and keep raking in 90% margins from the ads business.

theres a lot more to the MCP spec than tool calling, and also people ignoring the fact that remote mcps exist
