Endgame for the Open Web

Endgame for the Open Web anildash.com
Their words
As publishers see the danger from AI bots expand, they retreat to putting more and more content behind either password protection or payment walls or both, leaving the only publicly-accessible content to be AI-generated slop; open resources like research work, scientific analysis, and fair use of content all suffer as a result of people responding to the bad actors, since legitimate uses of open content are no longer possible.

You can give it a Bash tool so it can ripgrep its way through the codebase. You can give it some queryable codebase index, an LSP server, a vector database. In the end it doesn't matter much. The bigger the codebase, the lower the recall. Low recall means that your agent will, in fact, not find all the code it needs to do a good job.

With agents and a team of 2 humans, you can get to that complexity within weeks.

They will not get it, they will not try to, and your frustration won’t lead to understanding or peace. You know who you are. That’s enough. Related

Um so you sort of have this like dynamic that is quite interesting in that an H100 is worth more today than it was 3 years ago.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
