As someone who already has trouble with names, I endorse this. Now everyone will feel my pain

I see headlines like this and always wonder how they establish causation. How do they know AI skepticism is the cause of a sell off? Is this an assumption or is there reasonable evidence of causation?

They're guessing. You can sort of paint a story based on which stocks see bigger downturns.

Stock market trading is being done by very smart computers (oh the irony) and nobody knows why those computers do what they do.

Yes there are negative people here as well, and also people like you who are skeptical about the hype parts. But I’ve just noticed on other social media it’s like 100 naysayers for every proponent

I have, but that should mean there is consistent backlash against it but I don’t see that. Reddit programming communities, for example, appear far more averse

Reddit allows (encourages?) a lot more vitriol. And anyone can downvote so pro AI comments get downvoted to oblivion.

Here both pro and anti posts can and often share the same space. Unless it’s just very plainly vitriolic.

Also the mods there have different incentives than the mods here.

I too use a brittle, error-prone regular expression!

Interesting... is it legal?

I couldn’t see how it wouldn’t be, as it’s a free market opt-in decision to use Butter

it wouldn't be the first API service to disallow someone from selling a cache layer for their API. After all, this should likely result in OpenAI (or whatever provider) making less money

Ah yes that makes sense, have heard of those cases too but hadn’t put much thought into it. Thanks for pointing it out!

I've seen the OpenRouter guys here on HN before, so you can probably ask them what to look out for.

Knowing this is the author makes me 1000% more interested in Wren. What a great book!

$500K is like 1 or 2 fully loaded engineer salaries in the US. It’s not all that expensive.

Cram it in everything, make a press release for the stockholders, and see what sticks.

Microsoft is a particularly bad offender with copilot nonsense popping up all over the place. But hoo boy look at that stock price

I disagree with this take. What in the blog post sounds like overhead?
