Don't request for human dignity. Demand it!

But apparently the only acceptable way to demand basic human dignity and freedom is to stand politely in line with a ballot. I think we’ve reached a phase in society where the real call to action makes people uncomfortable. Nobody wants rubber bullets to the face.

If we’re not willing to fight for ourselves we don’t deserve life.

Moar! I want all the smells!

I actually love folks documenting this. I'm all for LLMs producing rough drafts. But rough drafts are, as a rule, slop.

Would love to hear more about your thought about the RAG.

I think RAG is a mostly outdated concept now, it's been subsumed by the idea of a "agent harness" which is exactly what Claude Code and Claude Cowork and OpenAI Codex and Claude.ai and ChatGPT themselves have now become.

An agent harness with access to a good search tool is a much more interesting thing than 2024-era RAG systems.

I generally agree with this, but would note that it assumes that the data is accessible from a web search. Some data sources will be private.

You can configure extra search tools that search private data.

I appreciate where you are coming from, as you have surfed the front of the wave of GenAI for years. From my point of view, there is interesting because something is SOTA, and there is interesting because there is still more to build. I definitely understand state of RAG tech. I also view it as barely utilized versus what we can do with it, hence my question.

Agent harnesses integrated into good search tools are definitely interesting. Knowledgebasing with partitions and similar structure also remains fruitful for applications, above and beyond standard ElasticSearch on a cache.

And how exactly does the agent harness surface ALL the right places that need to be updated, and reason about functions and APIs?

Your CEO has more wisdom than most on this topic.

If LLMs scraped data held by AA, then the assertion is accurate.

Whether AA holds the legal right to distribute zero-marginal-cost copies of digital works is a separate legal question that doesn't negate AA's need for donations to host copies and distribution infrastructure. I think they can be discussed independently.

You can solve a ton of social problems with technical solutions.

100 different, easy to integrate internets federated across a number of different communication technologies and protocols is actually very hard to regulate and capture.

Sure, you won't have another Facebook, but we children of the 70s, 80s,and 90s would ser value in that.

When I was but a youngster, the "internet" part of "internet protocol" was precisely that.

When I was a novice programmer, we used to move packets between DECnet, IP and X.500 networks all the time.

When I didn't know much about computers, networks were federated by default.

The thing is, time went by and we realized that IP was just better than all the others, and everybody started using it for everything.

And if you're making the claim that the root of problems like walled gardens and enshittification is the internet protocol ... get outa here.

What you described is the internet. The 'inter-' prefix means that.

You proved the point. Gemini has been marketed better, such that even folks in the know confuse Antigravity (the IDE) with anything else attempting to be pushed.

Antigravity CLI was only announced yesterday, so pretty much no one realizes it's different from Antigravity IDE yet, but I agree with your overall point. This kind of branding is toxic for individual product awareness. I'm not sure what drives the thinking behind it; Microsoft does it too (Copilot, etc.).

Took me this long down the thread to understand it wasn’t an IDE. Terrible marketing and product strat

I have days with those kinds of PRs. Usually because I'm too lazy to check color compatibility outside the browser.

GrapheneOS users that need to access their banks but their bank's websites treat users on browsers as second class users by requiring phone in 2fa. Chase.com is an example of this. Android app on Chrome device? No issue.

Price simulators are fine. They also know the distribution of use. They can do cost plus pricing (many cloud providers do). You're defending deliberately obfuscated pricing when it need not be obfuscated.

> Price simulators are fine.

Yes, as long as you do not have seasonal traffic, auto-scaling, spot instances, burstable instances, saving plans, reserved instances, floor/custom pricing, etc. These are tools to optimize your spendings and spend less if you know what you are doing.

> defending deliberately obfuscated pricing

A bit contradictory that price simulators are fine, but then the pricing is deliberately obfuscated. Then which one?
