While googling something I just ended up on a Microsoft public Azure blob with meeting recordings, PDFs about how they're selling Copilot and how to get it into business leaders, screenshots with partner data, business strategy etc.

Friday can mean there's a new graph.

Median and average function size in #curl over time.

If an "AI" company can sell you access to software that will replace a $250k/year software engineer. They're going to charge $249k/year for it.

That's how capitalism works.

Well, they're going to charge $20k/year at first, during the land rush phase. Wait for some competitors to die off. Keep it low a while longer to kill off the incumbents. Then it'll jump up a bunch, before finally being even more expensive than the original thing.

Maybe this whole AI era is a mash-up of Terminator meets Brewster’s Millions.

Sam Altman (Brewster) is sent back in time to start such a laughably bad AI hype cycle that it effectively changes the course of human history, steering us away from our doom.

Through his efforts, what could have been a human-eradicating AI leaves us with hallucinations, weird sex bots, AI avatars of our dead loved ones, and AI-powered toys telling children to hurt themselves.
