I think this is right, I can get cause to build me something for my own use that I’d have given up at before, getting to the point of being useable still doesn’t make it shareable.
There are some really good ar glasses for a couple of hundred dollars, I think they are going to end up really cheap and not the 100 billion investment that facebook needs.
Tbf I don't think they ever intended to make back their investments via the goggles. As near as I can tell the thought process was basically: "Real estate + fashion + live entertainment + art + etc is X quadrillion dollars. We could make The Virtual World and capture all that value. It would be irrational not to invest $100B!" Basically Pascal's Investment.
Tasks where, in the past, I have thought “if I had a utility to do x it would save me y time” and I’d either start and give up or spend much longer than y on it are now super easy, create a directory, claude “create an app to do x” so simple.
> How often are ooms caused by lack of ram rather than programming?
You're right, but in a production deployment, that extra ram might mean the difference between a close call that you patch the next day and an all hands emergency to call in devops and engineers together during peak usage.
At my kids school the children have been using grok to create pics of other children without clothes on - chatgpt etc won’t let you do that - grok needs some controls and x seem unable to do that themselves.
In such a case specifically: Uncover internal communication that shows the company was aware of the problem and ignored it, which presumably affects liability a lot.
Have you seen some of the stuff in the Enron or Epstein emails? They can be rather candid and act as if there is nothing to hide or they will never get caught
Do you think they communicate via paper? Raiding office doesn't automatically gives them access to mail/slack etc. And internal comms could be asked for without the nuclear option of raiding the office
Companies are required by law to enable persistence. And in any case if we assume malice how would the police even get access to all emails by raiding if the message and mails are stored in cloud.
AFAIK police can just ask google/slack for the mails with proper warrant.
This is the cyber crime unit. They will exfiltrate any data they want. They will use employee account to pivot into the rest of the X network. They don't just go in, grab a couple of papers, laptops and phones. They hook into the network and begin cracking.
As an example I wanted a plugin for visual studio. In the past I would have spent hours on it or just not bothered but I used Claude code to write it, it isn’t beautiful or interesting code, it lacks tests but it works and saves me time. It isn’t worth anything, won’t ever be deployed into production, I’ll likely share it but won’t try to monetise it, it is boring ugly code but more than good enough for its purpose.
Writing little utility apps has never been simpler and these are probably 90% cheaper
A plugin that does what exactly? A lot of comments here and under other posts are just declaring things with the following template: "I wanted to do X, but before it would took me N amount of hours, but now with LLM tool L, it has taken me way less time. I can't share anything about X, but LLM tool L is very useful. Just trust me, bro"
My favorite is this advert I keep getting that says "Imagine being able to build an app with your name on it!" I'm like... if you're struggling with the part where you put your name on it... and that's the priority.. I don't know what to tell you.
