Just like Microsoft ate the economy
Just like IBM ate the economy

We have made hundreds of videos from our phones over the past few weeks.
No generative AI video.
Everything rendered from code.
Every edit done with precise intent.
This is the future of vibe coding.
No more shipping slop apps, only video maxxing now.
Yes, it is, in the same way that everyone having a handgun in their house is a terrible allocation of resources when the government can make bigger, better guns.
But Sam seems to fail to understand why we're willing to be a little bit inefficient sometimes.
In other words, come and try to take it, fucker.
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
āa lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of thatā
Occasionally, someone comes up with such a clever insult that you just have to sit in awe.
You do not turn your brain off.
You move the cognitive load from one set of problems you had to solve to another set of problems that can now occupy your attention.
Just like how once a calculator can perform all math operations for you, you stop calculating by hand and start focusing on a different part of the problem.
Iām sure there are a small sunset of people who automated their work and are playing video games, but the vast majority of AI users are working more and longer hours.
If you look at the history of the rise of new platforms you see an interesting trend:
1. A new platform comes alive, and the leading player appears to be the front runner in all the subsequent innovations sprouting from that platform
2. A whole host of new products and services not associated with the leading player appears anyway
Theyāre not stupid. At the end of the day a business is designed to do a few activities incredibly well, often to the detriment of other activities. Some businesses are so different from how you operate that you simply canāt get the organization to compete effectively.
And if you try to in too many diverse spaces youāll dilute your advantage and allow an opening for a competitor to do what youāre doing but more focused.
We donāt know where that line for AI exists, though. So weāre going to have to go through a few iterations of startups to figure out where the labās advantage end and the rest of the market begins.
Bro, they have an 80% profit margin on API pricing.
Inference is incredibly profitable. In truth, your $200 a month is getting you $1,000 in inference, maybe.
Not to mention, there's going to be about a billion service providers trying to undercut them.
You're going to be swimming in tokens.
"you know what i'd really like?"
"tell me"
"a support agent"
"...we can do a support agent"
"a real agent, no low-effort AI bots, no outsourced indian firm"
"i'll get you a very good agent. single mom working in the midwest, clear communicator, can actually issue refunds"
Honestly, this should be the pitch for half of startups because this reasonably is the only thing that differentiates some of them.
I swear, some people have absolutely no theory of mind for one another.
The OP here clearly doesn't comprehend the idea that there are some people who do not want to go out and socialize and only did it for the purposes of fulfilling some greater goal.
How hard is it to understand that social commitments can suck ass for introverts? How hard is it to understand that staying home in your jammies with a glass of wine can be a fun evening?
It doesn't have to be your thing. You can decide you never want to do that. How hard is it to understand that it could be someone else's thing?

Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode akin to this?
I have an AI agent that logs every negative comment someone makes about me online.
It then creates a profile of the person, maps all of their social connections, and finds all their emails.
Tomorrow morning, my AI agent will sent out an email blast to everyone's extended social network, detailing the horrible things they've said about me.
There is no way this is real:
1. Everyone knows the value of a Rolex. Itās ubiquitous.
2. stores donāt store watches like this until they are ready for sale and will remove the stickers in front of you.
3. Youāre saying that the rioters wouldnāt enjoy smashing this?
