People saying copy aren't wrong...but if you can offer a copy at 1/5th of the price then you've got a winning product not a copy

All bikes look the same, all cars look the same, all cameras look the same, all bridges, all dams, hell all smartphones look exactly the same! The whole goddamn point of UX is that you make something that is usable, and hence familiar to your users.
People who say "I was making GPUs before them, and they built their own GPUs that behave like GPUs so they copied me" don't understand how stuff is built. The hard part in engineering is not "imagining the high-level concept", it's actually making it work. Even if you can open electronics and study it to design and build your own, it requires a lot of expertise. And if you manage to do it, then you are an expert, period.
I'm sure many people find comfort in saying stuff like "You know what? I was a bit of a visionary because when I saw the first personal computer, I imagined that it would be cool if it could be orders of magnitudes faster and smaller such that it fits in a pocket". As if that was the hard part.
Typically, too many people spend a lot of time talking about UI and stuff like "unpacking" as if that was the most important part. But usually that's because they have no idea about how it works under the hood, so the only thing to discuss is whether the round edges are great or not.
A good UI/UX is noticed and appreciated by many. A great UI/UX goes completely unnoticed by most.
This is false.
Apple’s UI/UX is the reason why they are adored from a physical attraction perspective.
Apple UI/UX sucks though, but all the other alternatives also suck.
BeOS didn't suck. It's UX stood out and was utilitarian.
BeOS was an absolute gem.
Keynote has probably the best UX of any software I’ve ever used.
Powerusers be damned.
I think it can safely be argued that (only) good UX but also great marketing are the reason of that.
They have good UI, it's noticed and appreciated by many.
Yes, Apple's UI/UX is good, not great. Like far from great. So he's still correct
Is Kimi 1/5th the price? Artificial analysis has it at the same price as GPT 5.6 Sol while performing worse.
Yeah, but maybe Kimi doesn't pretend to know better than I do. Like, I just had a task today where I had a silly form where I wanted to copy in a signature from one document to another document. And, you know, I could have just used some other dumb tools, but I decided, hey, let me us ask Codex to do it. But it started lecturing me on how we can't do this kind of stuff. And it was just pure silliness. So hopefully Kimi Work doesn't try to pretend that it knows better and lets me decide on ethics.
This blog post here summed it up the best. These are tools, so let them be tools.

Gmail won on price dumping and commoditising the complements, as did Facebook and Instagram and all of American Tech for two decades. They've just met an opponent able to beat their economics because their shareholders are less greedy. There's only one answer to this, same as for Facebook vs TikTok: Lobby for protection
Winning product that can’t answer a simple question regarding Uyghurs or Tiananmen Square… it is a vulnerable product…
As opposed to Claude which has flagged:
- anything related to piracy
- legit security work (audit my infra, pentest it)
- disabling a safety mechanism on my food processor
- reverse engineering
- creating style guides inspired by other games/companies (for fan projects)
- questions about how nerve agents work and how they can be treated (for a layman)
It's an open model, abliterated versions will appear on HF in the fullness of time.
I'd prefer it uncensored too but this objection was insightful in 2023. Everyone and their dog knows they're censored on topics sensitive to their country, much like western models are censored for western woke sensitivities. Nobody cares anymore as long as the reasoning is good and the price is low
Yes, “Nobody cares” is what scares me.
If we don't care about the other person than who we are?
On the other side, I am not a woke optimist that everything on Earth is lit by Sun…
