What personal skills are you referring to?

The hatred and jealousy for Musk is so great in this platform, that the comment section becomes a cesspool of contempt.

They all secretly want to use X because it’s very convenient to consume news and other form of content. But they refuse to make an account because of their pettiness. So they rather use third party websites.

Making an X account would take 2 minutes. But they rather just write a hate comment on HN every opportunity they can.

> Is it wrong to require people to use certain tools?

As the state or a representative thereof, yes; that's why public service is either run by itself or contracts to operators who must then abide by requirements (like no discrimination, unconditional access to information, social pricing, or similar provisions depending on your jurisdiction), that they would scrape the very day their activity became free market.

In France, even banks, a sector without a public actor in most countries, are legally required to open accounts ("droit au compte"). I don't mean _any_ kind of account, but at least one. On which banks naturally don't make a profit...

Google or Apple on the other hand, have no legal duty to let you in, which means in practice that they can lock you out of public services that they gate access to.

BTW: overthinking is how society moves forward :)

Because the owner of said tool is a white nationalist

I think you’ve confused HN for BlueSky.

> Kids do all of this stuff anyways, making it illegal doesn't stop it from happening.

This so completely untrue! These things are absolutely effective for the majority of kids. Just because some stand out in a crowd, doesn't mean others are doing it too.

When trying to prevent something, the more friction you add the better.

Why do you want to add friction to teens having a creativity tool that can help them learn and build things?

I don't know what kind of kid you were, but as a kid I would have loved access to my own 24/7 polymath, it would have been an incredibly positive thing in my life. I often think of how much more cool stuff I would have accomplished with that ability. It would have actually benefited my mental health issues a lot, which often rotated around the boredom of living an isolated life in the suburbs and my imagination being unable to keep up with my free time and abilities.

If you add friction to good things in addition to bad things, you're just increasing the likelihood that the bad things will be chosen more often. You're also increasing the chances that people will not trust you when you say the actually bad things are bad, because you lied to them about the other thing so maybe you're lying to them about all of it?

This has 'social media will bring us all together' vibes.

Seeing what it’s done to my VP’s and execs I can’t imagine the damage it’s going to children smh

I thinks this agents are early prototypes of what will eventually become something like jarvis from iron man.

An ai that is always at your reach and can interface with everything.

I don’t use these work apps because they don’t do anything that improves my workflow or computer experience

Agree 100%. Also changing express to deno or bun would decrease resource usage and improve overall performance with very little changes to the codebase.

2000 req per minute is pretty low. This was nothing but an example of overengineering.

According to Cursor CEO, it only accounts for 5% usage of cursor, so it's not a big deal at all

Unless you run your models and harness completely locally, you can't verify your data isn't being used.

All of these companies, and I truly mean all, stole data to train their models.

Yes it does. You can either subscribe to grok directly or cursor. You have many tiers and all of them have generous usage.

Grok is a workhorse, not the smartest yet, but produces good code and follows the plan. Grok 5, which has been training since beginnig of this year, will probably be a monster. (10T/6T Param model variants)

Hardware constrains forced this?

Possible. But by looking at other industries Chinese don't seem to need to be forced to innovate. They just can and do. Unlike the West they seem to be on the way up and it seems like sky is the limit. In the West, the interests of the shareholders and other types of rent seekers seems to be the hard limit. Chinese have no qualms about making the cow obsolete before they milk it dry.
