Jokes on you, this is the exact prompt OP uses in the BE lol
romanovcode··on OpenAI's Ad Business Is on Pace to Miss Its Own Forecast by 90%, Analyst Says
But how many companies did he actually launched? lol

The only actual product was "Loopt", some bs location sharing app that nobody used or ever heard about.

romanovcode··on The console wars have been lost
> My husband and I both can't remember why we even got a PS5 in the first place

You are going to remember why you have PS5 in about 120 days.

romanovcode··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
Isn't scrubbing any of the data on a public platform that everyone sees AFTER you are being sued is not the smartest decision?

Glorious Leader Trump likes them. They gave stock to him.
romanovcode··on Tidal AI Policy
> Tidal will accept AI-generated music.

Okey, that's all I needed to know. They could just put this one sentence in the doc and be done with it.

romanovcode··on Microsoft Needs Windows Lite
> no .NET

> Windows Lite is perfect for gamers and developers.

What? All modern Windows software requires .NET

romanovcode··on Apple to skip high-end M6 Mac chips in favor of AI-focused M7 line
The way I see it - Opus 4.8 xhigh can do any programming task with a programmer instructing it. If Apple releases local model together with a device that can run said model it would render OpenAI/Anthropic useless for vast majority of usecases.

And if a local mcahine can run something like Opus 4.8, who is to say that those "specialized" models would just not come at a later date, or even loading open models wouldn't be an option with something like M7-verified flag from huggingface that would make it extremely easy for any consumer to just play around.

romanovcode··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
I was waiting for 3 months for my VAT ID to arrive. Then I just called my finanzamt and told them why I have no vat ID. I think they just forgot, finanzamt said over the phone that "they opened a ticket" and 2 weeks later exactly as promised in the beginning it was in my post.
romanovcode··on Fired by Google for creating the Google workspace CLI
This is how these things usually play out. Unless OP was being difficult and defending his position that he did nothing wrong.
romanovcode··on Generative AI Is Having Its Herbalife Moment
I think it does. MLM is multi-level-marketing and the shovel-selling exactly IS a pyramid scheme.

You have to look more deeply into the scheme. It appears that they sell the SaaS, but what they are actually selling is the selling/referral system itself which makes it exactly a pyramid scheme.

Just like the tupperware was never the money-maker, is the referral system.

romanovcode··on Google Chrome update will close the door on ad blockers
Those passwords are not yours unless you did the work and enabled on-device encryption which is disabled by default.
romanovcode··on Google Chrome update will close the door on ad blockers
Firefox is great. Safari is also pretty good, Apple ADP is true e2e encrypted bookmarks, history and so on. I really do not see the reason to be using Chrome for multiple years now.
romanovcode··on Not everyone is using AI for everything
> you tell them that you won’t do that?

Of course I will do that, I get paid for doing that.

Most of the times I can convince that AI is not necessary by showing small PoC flow with AWS diagrams of data flows. This works well especially if the ask comes from technical people.

Other times the C-level interjects (CEO, CFO, sometimes even CTO) and demands that AI should be there. I literally had CEOs send me instagram reels of some AI shovel-sellers to demonstrate that I am wrong and AI is the way to go. No point arguing after that because I have no problem implementing whatever AI they want rather than losing a paying project.

romanovcode··on Not everyone is using AI for everything
As a contractor who built a lot of predictive systems and workflows in last three years I can tell you that quite often there is a specific request to put AI into it even when it is not needed and would objectively make the system worse, slower and more expensive.

The AI psychosis is a real thing.

romanovcode··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
The model is released to download. If they continue releasing it - it can't go same direction. If they stop releasing it, they will become irrelevant. The only reason this one is so popular is because you can just download it and run locally.
romanovcode··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
If they keep gatekeeping the SOTA models then who cares - not like you can use them anyway. So for general public the open models become the SOTA models sooner or later.
romanovcode··on AWS Bedrock to require sharing data with Anthropic for Mythos and future models
> except in the rare cases where it's part of a safety investigation or we're legally required to keep it

So basically all your data will flow to NSA/CIA/Mossad if they show even slight interest in your org or you as a person. Gotcha.

romanovcode··on Claude Fable 5
But did it mention developer in the park eating the sandwitch? That is the most important question!
romanovcode··on Apple Core AI Framework
Right now there is no reason since tokens are subsidized heavily. However when OpenAI/Anthropic will drop the $200/month pricing since most likely it eventually will become unsustainable you'd rather get MacBook Pro M6 Ultra with 128GB ram and go local then pay thousands every month for tokens.
romanovcode··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
The gamble is that you either succeed or fail. If you try nothing you'll work until you die regardless.

Current system: Work until you die.

New system collapses: Work until you die.

New system lucks out: Probably get returns (pension).

romanovcode··on OpenAI Is Preparing to File for an IPO Soon
I have a suspicion that when China will roll out their NVIDIA capable chips - and that is a question of when, not if - NVIDIA stock will plummet as it is heavily overvalued atm.
romanovcode··on Google changes its search box
Just tried it:

Q: What is the best summoner 0 button build for d4 s13 necro

A: Something went wrong and an AI response wasn't generated.

Amazing product. Really frontier search experience. Thanks Google!

romanovcode··on Cursor Introduces Composer 2.5
The problem with this is that we do not know the actual cost. For all we know they might be pulling an Anthropic. Subsidizing costs to get users, then increasing them later on.
romanovcode··on OpenAI and Government of Malta partner to roll out ChatGPT Plus to all citizens
Ugh, gives bad flashbacks of when Facebook did free access to all citizens in particular countries. Later only to harvest data and manipulate elections.
romanovcode··on Claude for Legal
Same as it compared against "Build your website without any code" startups 2 months ago. Now they are dropping like flies.

A life of every thin wrapper company will be the same. Anthropic/OpenAI will just cut the middle-man as soon as they see potential.

I seriously have no idea why would someone pick this one up instead of MacBook Neo for 600 USD.
romanovcode··on Meta to start capturing employee mouse movements, keystrokes for AI training
> You’d no longer be able to disent, or discuss anything non-work related with even the slightest expectation of privacy.

One must be a fool to do any of this on any company-owned hardware. Facebook or no Facebook.

romanovcode··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
Ever heard of concept called acqui-user/acqui-hire?
romanovcode··on Claude Code to be removed from Anthropic's Pro plan?
