Claude Code is hilarious because often it'll say stuff that's basically "that's too hard, here's a bandaid fix" and implement it lol

When two entities control essentially the whole "market" for mobile OSes and associated app stores, and use their position to force their app stores on everyone, you no longer have a market. If we just forcibly split Google and Apple into smaller companies with separate app stores then maybe we could see what markets would do.
Third party app stores exist, and they work on android.
"There is no market effect"? Why do the market effects disappear if some of the players don't play completely according to the desires of other players? Why couldn't it be that the optimum includes some amount of fee dodging?
The app store obviously gives value to the app developers. When you put your app on the store you agree to the 30%.
Why wonder whats fair when we could let the market decide?
E-feudalism isn't capitalism.
The gatekeepers are governments without democratic representation. Wondering what fair exploitation looks like is choosing a warped perspective.
That is exactly what happens if they can enforce payments: "you don't get to be on our store if you're bypassing this"
But it isn't what is happening if they are staying on the platform's marketplaces and also bypassing payments. There is no "market" effect there.
Not saying I agree with the 30%, but third party app stores exist. That is the market avenue (and no one uses them).
Polymarket betters are not impressed. Based upon the market odds, OpenAI had a 35% chance to have the best model (at year end), but those odds have dropped to 18% today.
(I'm mostly making this comment to document what happened for the history books.)

The Musk effect is pretty crazy. Or is there another explanation for why x can compete with Google?
with web search, is knowledge cutoff really relevant anymore? Or is this more of a comment on how long it took them to do post-training?
Yes, totally. The model will not know about new versions of libraries, features recently deprecated, etc..

I think we can reasonably expect they will become non-stateless in the next few years.
Why?

ChatGPT-4o is scary good at writing VHDL.
Using it to prototype some low level controllers today, as a matter of fact!
It's better-than-senior at a some things, but worse-than-junior at a lot of things.
