Under very favorable conditions that omit many of the real life threats, AI can’t work as a cashier.

Another illustration of “unsupervised AI will just cause a mess and humans will have to clean up after it.”

"- OpenAI and Anthropic both lose billions of dollars a year after revenue, and their stories do not mirror any other startup in history, not Uber, not Amazon Web Services, nothing. I address the Uber point in this article.

- SoftBank is putting itself in dire straits simply to fund OpenAI once. This deal threatens its credit rating, with SoftBank having to take on what will be multiple loans to fund the remaining $30 billion of OpenAI's $40 billion round, which has yet to close and OpenAI is, in fact, still raising.

- This is before you consider the other $19 billion that SoftBank has agreed to contribute to the Stargate data center project, money that it does not currently have available.

- OpenAI has promised $19 billion to the Stargate data center project, money it does not have and cannot get without SoftBank's funds.

- Again, neither SoftBank nor OpenAI has the money for Stargate right now.

- OpenAI must convert to a for-profit by the end of 2025, or it loses $20 billion of the remaining $30 billion of funding. If it does not convert by October 2026, its current funding converts to debt. It is demanding remarkable, unreasonable concessions from Microsoft, which is refusing to budge and is willing to walk away from the negotiations necessary to convert.

- OpenAI does not have a path to profitability, and its future, like Anthropic's, is dependent on a continual flow of capital from venture capitalists and big tech, who must also continue to expand infrastructure.

Anthropic is in a similar, but slightly better position — it is set to lose $3 billion this year on $4 billion of revenue. It also has no path to profitability, recently jacked up prices on Cursor, its largest customer, and had to put restraints on Claude Code after allowing users to burn 100% to 10,000% of their revenue. These are the actions of a desperate company."

Double Maze, a 15-year-old iOS game originally written in Objective-C using Xcode 2, has made its return to the App Store—nine years after Apple removed it for being outdated. The app hadn’t compiled since Xcode 4, but with the help of Claude Code and about four hours of tinkering, it’s finally back.

Support for modern devices and screen sizes has been added.

There are a couple of other projects I’d like to bring back to the App Store, ones I built with a friend who recently passed away.

It's kind of astonishing and sad at the same time how much money all the big AI companies earn but how bad parts of their UIs are.

A few quick example from the top of my head:

The Claude web UI for example takes multiple seconds to load.
For a simple input interface.

Mistral uses checkboxes for their libraries which are styled like radio buttons. Basic UX mistake.

Are they vibe coding all their frontend code or what?
