Agreed. My frontend/react builds use esbuild, and rebuild fast enough that it feels like hot module reloading

The big money is going to the OpenAI/Anthropic types producing foundation models that have to raise billions on a regular basis. This is money that would normal be spread across the startup ecosystem instead of concentrated in a handful of massive companies. When it finally hits IPO, I'd bet that you see it start to get freed up for new investments

Just to drive the point home, in 2019 the total VC market was ~$300 billion. To date, roughly $235 billion is tied up in just OpenAI ($168b) and Anthropic ($67b)

I think you missed the parents point. They were saying they don't have the resources for proper defense, my guess is parent would agree about their offensive capabilities

This is some weird takes...

    - music apps and gapless playback: basically all major car manufacturer software is trash, I'd challenge you to find a car software that's better than Tesla
    - stretches without superchargers: to be clear, not stretches without places you can charge the car, right? Just places where Tesla's fast charging stations exist. Tesla has an order of magnitude more of these type of stations than any other similar network
    - Service centers: I have no knowledge here. From how silly the other arguments are, I kind of assume that this isn't fully true, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's true. Not awesome, definitely an area they need to get better in. But lets not forget, major manufacturer service centers are not exactly know for being quick/good/cheap
    - Color options: I guess it would be cool to have truly custom colors, but basically every mainstream car ever has had a limited set of colors to choose from, and individual dealerships almost never have every color of that limited set available

And the answer is to have them become like a normal car company? That's not an industry thats exactly excelling at the very points you're bringing up. You're obviously free to have your take, but we are at peak "Elon is the wurst". Hard to take this stuff seriously

Yeah, it really came from scratching my own itch in wanting a quicker/easier way to think through different companies offers. They always present them in slightly different ways

I really like the idea of a side by side comparison. I'll build that out next!

Just like writing normal software: have it work on different parts of the codebase that don't have overlap, or do the work sequentially. AI is a time compressor, but it's still constrained by the same problems as normal engineers.

If one task changes the button to green, and the other one changes it to red at the same time, something will have to decide how to reconcile that difference
