Codeberg did make such a rule. Their announcement explicitly says that "Projects heavily tied to the LLM ecosytem" are "no longer [...] welcome on Codeberg". The code for an AI agent would definitely fall into that category.
These guys aren't aware of all the "impossible" problems Elon already solved. They're too invested in the propaganda about him being a big dumb idiot who accidentally fell backwards into a pile of 1 trillion dollars.
The city doesn't want commercial real estate values to collapse either, since buildings are taxed based on their value. If extend and pretend is ending, tax revenues are about to take a nosedive.
So, it would be morally abhorrent to enslave them if they were conscious, and therefore they must not be conscious? Sounds a bit like "saying the quiet part out of loud", pal.
My understanding is that the various anti-encryption proposals don't prevent the government itself from using encryption, just their subjects. So it's not really an "argument against" from the state's point of view. They will be safe.
Well--well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
Uber's not really a good example because they deliberately incentivized their engineers to spend as many tokens as possible, which was silly. But even assuming that every developer uses the full $1,500 a month of tokens that they are now allowing, that's actually not a lot of money relative to the cost of a single developer for them. It's less than 1/10 of a junior engineer's fully loaded salary.
Where I would expect to see people invest in local models is in cases where a company has regulatory requirements to keep data local, or where they're doing some specialized kind of work. Neither of those really apply to Uber. In 2026, it would absolutely be irresponsible for a taxi company to try to build a better Claude than Claude.
Now what this looks like 5 or 10 years from now, it's hard to say. A lot will depend on whether China keeps releasing open weight models and whether people can still run those open weight models on commercially available hardware.
You appear to be assuming that frontier LLM models will be more expensive than outsourced developers. That seems like a crazy assumption to me. Even with current prices of about $1000 a month, that's still just $12,000 a year, which you cannot live on, even in Eastern Europe. Maybe some people in India could live on that, but probably not the people you want writing your code.
You're using the future tense, but all of those things already exist. Google exists, Amazon Bedrock exists, DeepSeek's cloud product exists, etc. etc. But this isn't relevant to what the post you are replying to said, which is that "cloud-based, metered AI being a dominant work mode [is a] fad". Since all of those things are cloud-based, metered AI.
