You have a specific idea of customer in mind. Likely different than the gp’s. Many types of customers are quite happy to have prototypes thrown at them. Sometimes it’s even contractually required in agency work.

If someone wants to propose an amendment allowing the feds to do this, they can. They just need to get 2/3rds of both the House and the Senate to approve the proposal and then get 3/4ths of the state legislatures to ratify it.

Not sure why you’re acting like I think changing the law in this way would be a good idea, though.

Sure. But by the text of the constitution (the thing we made up) Congress does not have the power to criminalize “anything,” but only things in specific areas. Everything else is left to state law.

Customers aren’t in the habit of paying for things they don’t want.

These are factors to be considered, not pass/fail questions.

Nope. Virtually every fast food restaurant has free wifi, to say nothing of public libraries. It’s more common now than it ever was previously.

Presumably you don’t anymore if you have 5.4.

Codex added skills support recently. It appears to work exactly the same as Claude Code.

“firing people while turning a profit is 100% bad faith that should be regulated or barred.”

That’s far too broad a claim. Just because you’re turning a profit doesn’t mean you should be locked into keeping all of your employees. Some are likely to be underperformers who don’t bring sufficient ROI compared to other investments/hires you could make.

Still relevant, as it means that a coding agent is more likely to get things right without searching. That saves time, money, and improves accuracy of results.

Part of that is that Claude is exceptionally good at turn-based interactions compared to other models that are better at one-shot reasoning.

“Mental energy” is a pretty common phrase, and it refers to the ability to start and sustain work on tasks which require mental effort. Eating a candy bar can provide a temporary boost to mental energy, but it’s not an effective everyday approach.

There are many physical and psychological issues which diminish people’s mental energy. ADHD and depression being the most obvious.

Fortunately for many of those conditions there are also ways to increase the amount of mental energy you have available.
