Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

this is almost a NSFW? some choice snippets:

more than 1.5 million people have used it and it is helping build nearly half of Copilot users’ code

Individuals pay $10 a month for the AI assistant. In the first few months of this year, the company was losing on average more than $20 a month per user, according to a person familiar with the figures, who said some users were costing the company as much as $80 a month.

good thing it's so good that everyone will use it amirite

starting around $13 for the basic Microsoft 365 office-software suite for business customers—the company will charge an additional $30 a month for the AI-infused version.

Google, ..., will also be charging $30 a month on top of the regular subscription fee, which starts at $6 a month

I wonder how long they'll try that, until they try forcing it on everyone (and raise all prices by some n%)

yeah I've been wondering about achilles heels and such.. e.g., is there a complexity cost, or is all the execution constant resource cost?

haven't really been able to go digging on it yet, but it would be hilarious if invasive programs worked. for me, that is. it'd probably suck for them, but who cares about the promptfans and their bucket of bolts

Well prompters went all 'but innovation is inevitable, you antis are like you are arguing pro horse when the car was just around. Just deal with it' so fuckem ;).
