I'd say he's a better CTO than CEO

He ran a small (30 employee) tech startup for 7 years

He was a partner at YC for 8 years

He has no research/PhD background in AI and is the CEO of an AI company

There is no objective data point in which he's a better CTO than a CEO


It's kind of ironic that the name of this product is also the most obvious marker of LLM generated content

That's the joke.

Oh I am slow lol

Is this an April fools?


Name is a joke, but the project is real

Functional April Fools, the best kind. A couple years ago Eleiko, a weightlifting equipment company did one, the 'Heavy Mug', a 19 poundish steel coffee cup with a handle in the style of a knurled bar, and actually did a limited run of them.

"That allows us to license the open source project under the more permissive MIT license."

How many people using AI are actually paying for it (outside of people in tech)?

I find the free models are much more psychophantic and have a higher tendency to hallucinate and just make shit up, and I wonder if these are the ones most people are using?


> I find the free models are much more psychophantic and have a higher tendency to hallucinate and just make shit up

I keep seeing this claim yet it my experience it doesnt hold water. I pay for the models, most people I know pay for the models, and we see all of the exact same issues.

I have Claude and ChatGPT both bullshit and lick my ass on the regular. The ass licking will occur regardless of instruction.


Comments like this are why I just love Hacker News

ok clearly I'm a robot because I can't figure out wtf to do

HN needs an "AI" tab, and the ability to flag things as AI

Some of it very interesting, but maybe it shouldn't be on the home page unless it's a certain critical mass (similar to show HN)?


I saw a post on a subreddit earlier where someone was considering getting rid of their 2019 Macbook Pro with an i9 and 32GB of ram, and so many of the comments were egging the poster on and saying it was an upgrade.

Terrible idea. It's cool that Apple are entering the budget space, but the hype around the Neo is nuts.

edit: found it https://old.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/1s2tdrm/is_the_...


That specific Macbook Pro model is famously bad to the extent that people have tried to suggest Apple made that generation intentionally bad to make the m1 look more revolutionary. The Neo's still not going to be better performance when plugged in, but it's a more reasonable comparison than the stats suggests.

Was that the old or new keyboard? If it was the old one, I'd take the downgrade of everything else, to get a keyboard that doesn't jam up if you accidentally breathe on it.

It is the butterlfy I think but they had pretty much fixed it by that point, and OP wasn't complaining about the keyboard

Your issue might not be just the rogue employee leaking certificates, it sounds like you were sharing one Apple Developer account between multiple developers which is also against their T's & C's

Really every developer should have their own account and work on their own machine

If you were all using the one account on the same machine, then Apple has no way of telling who did what


> it sounds like you were sharing one Apple Developer account between multiple developers which is also against their T's & C's

Whether the case or not here (I don't know), taking a look at the big picture: Imagine if in the 90s Apple could come in to a software company and dictate what development practices and account management they must do to ship software for a Mac! Would've been instant outrage. Anyone was free to write and ship software however they liked. How low we have fallen to allow near-monopolies to dictate terms.


What did the employee do?

Getting flashbacks to the letters the Pirate Bay used to send lawyers

I'm pretty sure in one they responded saying their lawyer was alseep in a ditch and would reply when he woke up lol
