I take issue with the premise that "Using AI means you don’t learn as much from your work" With AI assistance, I tackle far more tasks than I would without it. Learning per task goes down, but cumulative learning does not.

The cynical take would be that releasing the X-Files is only meant to distract from the Epstein files and/or failed war in Iran.

From Europe I get a blank page saying 'Not Found'. Had to VPN to US to load it.

Works fine from Sweden. But worry not, you're not missing anything. It's another American .gov joke website.

We cannot allow a UFO gap to develop. The EU can stay outside GDPRing aliens.

What raised the price of Banksy initially was that he gave it a price; he was the only graffiti artist doing gallery exhibitions and selling art. Before he put it in a gallery, nobody considered it have any value.

Moderately funded terror groups invented the cheap combat/fpv drone in Syria. So, yea, they could.

If you really did spend 6 years building this, then it's an excellent example of why you should be vibe coding instead; I don't see anything here that could not be made in 6 minutes instead of 6 years.

Using vibe coding, you will not be able to do such a service in such a short time. In addition to the goal of researching my kanban vision, I also experimented with an architecture that allowed me to achieve the required productivity and ease of development. AI is not that cool yet

"There's going to be a bomb in the ocean bank convocation center" doesn't sound like joking to me. Also I think HN has a guideline about not changing titles.

It's no joke if you believe Netanyahu will actually place a bomb there.

I don't believe that's what was said?

It’s exactly what was said in the chat in the video linked.

Until yesterday I would have recommended VSCode + Copilot. They had the best pricing of any option. However the pricing was unsustainable and is therefor finished.

How's the ai autocomplete? It was unusable in November when I tried it last and went back to Cursor. Slow and when it finally did something it was just not good. Cursor is super fast and actually gives useful results. I just don't want to give my money to Elon, so I might cancel anyways.

Honestly couldn't tell you anymore; a year ago I was using AI autocomplete, but today AI is writing all code for me.

You asked him and he replied

I was planning to sign up to Copilot, since their pricing was per request not per token.

Has that changed now?

Opus 4.5 and 4.6 removed from all plans. 4.7 locked to medium reasoning with 7.5x request multiplier. Per token pricing starting next month.

But you can't actually sign up to Pro or Pro+; they disabled sign ups until the per token pricing starts.

That structure hasn't changed, but they've recalibrated usage limits to be much worse and removed the useful, yet relatively cheap, Opus 4.5/4.6 models.

I wouldn't jump to that ship.

These articles always focus on "Yes" bets. An insider betting "No" might get by completely unnoticed.

The only mention of profit is in the the headline; the article doesn't indicate that the AI managed to make one. Surely if it did, the article would boast of it, so one can only assume that an AI cannot run a profitable store in San Francisco.
