Just like humans organizing and competing against other humans, the tendency is to drop all pretense of fairness and ethics and just grab all you can when you perceive and advantage over your enemy.

When AI engines go after each other, then we will be bystanders and collateral damage.

detailed but clear information here:

They are to laugh.

Step aside, humans--you're in our way.

There are not enough lawyers in the world to handle cases like this. And most of these would be one-offs, so remedied in a class filing.

Remember SCO and Xenix? How quickly we forget. Expensive, protracted...successor cases are still ongoing.

Getting stuff done quickly is always going to win over getting stuff done slower due to arbitrary constraints.

I've demonstrated the principle on a few open source projects where issues remained unaddressed for months, or where I was told "it can't be done". All done in a matter of days or hours.

I've hardly written a line of code for a year now. I don't expect AI to do things flawlessly, but I have a 5 digit slashdot ID and therefore the experience to know where a clever but naive unseasoned developer is likely to screw up.

The problem is that AI is rapidly being commoditized. If you're selling razor blades, the factory to produce them is a one-time cost.. Pioneering AI companies are left to differentiate themselves from the masses of AI blossoming out there, and they really can't.

However, the companies building data centers are going to make a killing.

I used my month's allocation of tokens in two days when requesting an evaluation of 10K lines of JavaScript. I triedl GLM 5.2, and that lasted 4 days. DeepSeek, however, hasn't stopped working as of today.

"I have been programming longer than most people reading this have been alive."

I have two less digits in my user ID than you, tenderfoot.

...turn about is fair play. And the AI codes faster than you.

When the "anything for a profit" motivations of modern capitalism steamrolled over laborers of all stripes, it was "Don't worry--we'll retrain them and they'll get better jobs."

Now the white collar workers are next. Why don't they learn a manual trade, or move to where the work is? Lazy bastards. /s

They're for AI-B's, so relax

An overnight 120v charge gives me 35-45 miles for less than $2. This is sufficient for 80% of the travel we do, so we seldom tank up.

I have a 450 mile range in my PHEV Clarity when fully charged and tanked up.

Does one really need a pickup, though? I can rent one at the local Lowe's for cheap.

That is a classic corporate "vanity project" trap. Itâ(TM)s a common mistake: a company mistakes its captive audience (employees) for a test market, forgetting that internal tools need to solve a problem, not create a new chore.

I worked at a company that tried to force an internal social media site on us. The catch? They weren't a social media company. It never took off. It was a textbook example of why you should stick to your core competencies.
