A VERY important lesson about how the economy works (this post isn't about AI, even though it starts that way): I've been using Claude Sonnet, ChatGPT, and Perplexity quite heavily.

Even more amazing is that every one of these platforms keep releasing new capabilities and new ways of using the capabilities. We've seen "projects" and specialized chatbots, and "Reasoning" come to the models. We've seen voice, and images, and data analysis.

Why is this significant? BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE INNOVATION THAT COMPETITION SPURS. When there's real competition, you actually get people competing TO MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL. Contrast that with Netflix, Hulu, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, and so on.
