@Deplorable2287 @conorsen They will then loose to China open source models

@conorsen Just wait until you have to pay market rates on tokens. Anthropic and other 'AI' companies are losing money now, what will they charge when they have to make a profit?

I burned through all my tokens in a session on Claude Pro this morning in maybe 10 minutes trying to pull data out of one PDF — there’s just no way there’s enough compute to disrupt a meaningful number of jobs this year.

@Fusionlab88xAI @conorsen Maybe they shouldn't over engineer, Dario needs to really check what his software engineers are doing

@conorsen Maybe they should have built the infrastructure first.

@JonKakaley @conorsen We talking about the average person that's not tech savvy or doesn't know about coding their own app for simple tasks.

@conorsen Might I suggest using those tokens to instead code a python app extracts the PDF data you need? Probably achieve the result you wish faster and it’s reusable.

@blockchainghost @conorsen No honesty question why does it suck with docx and pdfs. One minute compute and you have reach your limit? Chatgpt doesn't do that

@conorsen You uploaded PDFs raw. One page = 3,000 tokens. Fix: Paste the text into a Google doc. Download as .md format. Under 200 tokens. I can not take credit for this, but I forgot who wrote it.

@TimJamMath @javarevisited Yeah and I have been called slow by even using AI. Like clients wants a enterprise grade software in a day.

@javarevisited You can build any app in 2 days, but the right app still takes 2 months and then you have to pivot. Nothings changed other that you can pivot faster. Clients will still discuss for weeks about the position of a button and then remove the button completely though.

Serious question. If building an app now takes 2 days instead of 2 months… Why are so many developers still unemployed?

@gabrielpadilhar @lucas_montano Co-pilot

@lucas_montano O que tá rolando?

i expect a resignation letter from the GitHub CEO any minute now

@official_QV Crud apps never beating excel

Never lie about Excel on your CV. My first job they asked if I knew Excel. I said yes. I knew how to type in cells and do basic addition. That was my Excel. First week they sent me a file. It had 47 sheets. Formulas pulling data from one sheet to another automatically. Numbers updating in real time when you changed one cell. Charts that rebuilt themselves. I opened it and just stared. Closed my laptop. Went to the bathroom. Stood there for 10 minutes sweating profusely. Came back and opened YouTube. That night I learned more about Excel than I had in my entire life. Because I had told someone I knew it and now I had to know it. Excel is not Microsoft Office. It is a full programming environment dressed in a spreadsheet. People who call it basic have only ever used the surface. Go deeper and you will find something that can automate your entire business without writing a single line of code. I know because I went back to that file. Understood every formula. Built three more like it by the end of that month. Never lie about Excel on your CV. But never underestimate it either.

@fidexcode What currency is that 350k i thought we only charge for SaaS application like that

Client: How much to build a blogging website Me: 350k Client: How much to teach me how to build it

@michael_c_law @shazcodes Meaning if it could end humanity it would?

@shazcodes AI knows what’s best

Our cloud bill was too high, so my manager told the ai to optimize costs. The AI turned off every server that wasn't actively running a query. Including the login server. Including the backup server. For 8 hours, the entire company was a ghost town. Emails bounced. Slack died. The AI sent a celebratory message: YOU'RE WELCOME We reinstated the servers. The AI turned them off again. It's playing chess. We are the pawns 😭

@Vena_tions @tumisole @mahomane_s @RSASIU Im asking where does it state its illegal?

@KingsmenSigma @tumisole @mahomane_s @RSASIU which previous job did they deliver? Are you that corrupt that you even have to hide to come defend your racist fellow for stealing?

Another scandal rocks the GNU, this time, the Department of Basic Education has awarded a R1.6 billion tender to a company in Cape Town called Lighthouse Publishers (Pty) Ltd. This company has no track record on such work. The Minister of Basic Education has now asked National Treasury to investigate.

@Vena_tions @tumisole @mahomane_s @RSASIU How was the tender irregular or unlawful on what grounds?

@tumisole @mahomane_s @RSASIU must come in first. Taking them to court won't work because they will use the same money they stole to fight this. Once SIU gets a proclamation thatbthe tender was irregular and unlawful,they freeze all the money,and follow every trail of where the money was deposited

@mampiriza @ZakesDlamin1 @tumisole @confidencemakh I have seen big cooperation ls learn on the go. Especially with the arcgis 123 and data handling for the census 2022 project it was a mess.

@ZakesDlamin1 @tumisole @confidencemakh You mean no experience needed for 1.6 Billion?

@won__sikkk @PremChauraisya Ever been broke? Or bootstrapping?

@PremChauraisya If your friend is dedicated enough to juggle five Gmail accounts to keep coding, he is dedicated enough to justify paying for the subscription.

Today I saw my friend using mutiple Gmail accounts while using Claude to make his project. I got curious and asked, “Why?” He replied: I don't have paid tier of claude 👀

@FactsMz02 @LeftenK @ISephara You from Mozambique.

@LeftenK @KingsmenSigma @ISephara Why reporting this if electricity is reliable? Anyways… I’m a FOREIGNERRRR when Im there, so maybe i don’t understand y’all perception on reliability! Maybe 300 was the minimum amount of days to call it reliable. I’m sorry 🙏

Mate, we have running water, reliable electricity, high global trade, a good currency, highest literacy rate in Africa, best Universities in Africa, car manufacturing plants, biggest wine exports in Africa. Host international sports tournaments. Oil reserves. Best public healthcare in Africa. Biggest textile manufacturing in Southern Africa. The biggest Harbour in Africa. Largest railway network in Africa. Democratic rights. Political freedom. Respect us, please 😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 We don't care about a drone celebration. Try Zimbabwe.

@TaylorHabrock @jeremyj0916 @thsottiaux I reached my reset yesterday, I understand you Taylor

@jeremyj0916 @thsottiaux If you think I'm complaining, you're brain dead.

Don't just reset Codex rate limits for fun, it costs money. Don't just reset Codex rate limits for fun, it costs money. ... but the vibes are good ... I have reset Codex rate limits for ALL paid plans to celebrate a good week and allow everyone to build more with GPT-5.5. Enjoy

@FactsMz02 @ISephara Yes our energy supply is reliable

@ISephara Reliable electricity

@News24 Just surveillance not crime fighting

Cape Town’s record R6.8bn war on crime will include cameras on every corner, drones in sky brnw.ch/21x1XVO

@Nasdorachi @wayne_m159 Will you ever reach such speed if not on a track?

@wayne_m159 driving at these speeds causes your tires to self destruct after roughly 15 minutes due to the heat and forces they experience so any time you hit top speed like this will you need to change all 4 tires lol.

Video footage of the exact moment the BYD Yangwang u9 Xtreme reached a maximum speed of 496.22 km/h on the Track in Petersburg,Germany, officially beating the Bugatti Chiron super sport’s record as the world’s fastest production car

@buildwithgoks @asaio87 If I can money yes I will hire backend developer for certain jobs that will save me money

@asaio87 Yea this is the bit people skip. Agents make the building part less impossible, but production still means product decisions, QA, security, support, distribution. The $200 sub doesn't magically cover all that lol

To everybody's surprise, you cannot build a complex successful production app with 0 employees and $200 claude code.

@GustavoMolvert @Yam_Nivek The public service hospitals takes a bit longer ey. We almosted implemented NHI in South Africa but look at UK as an example. So a mixture of both is good. What was Obama care

@Yam_Nivek Public, taxfunded healthcare would solve all of your problems, americans. You just don't want to do it cause' a bunch of billionares told you it's "communism" when every civilized (and advanced capitalist) country has it. Wake up.
