Or maybe it's a cry for help."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"The post is from a developer on X — says models like GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus, and Kimi write code better than his team."},{"host":"Chris","text":"I mean, for boilerplate? Sure. For debugging a twenty-year-old Perl script at 3 AM? Let's check back on that."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"The fun part is the replies — basically zero engagement. One like. The engineer community has spoken."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Or they're all busy asking ChatGPT to fix their merge conflicts."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Different story, bigger stakes: Canva just built its own AI image generator."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Wait, from scratch? Not a wrapper around someone else's model?"},{"host":"Matilda","text":"From scratch. It's called Canva Craft — their first in-house model. Available in Dream Lab, up to 2K resolution, prompts in 55 languages."},{"host":"Chris","text":"That's a real move. They've been licensing from OpenAI and Stability for years. Building their own means they want out of those deals."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"And the pricing? They didn't publish credit costs. Which tells you it's probably not cheap."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Or they want users hooked before they realize how fast those credits burn."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Canva's not exactly known for generous free tiers once you get past the basics."},{"host":"Chris","text":"No, but here's the thing — forty million people use Canva every month. If the model's decent, that's a massive distribution advantage."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"It cuts both ways. Midjourney and DALL-E have years of user feedback. Canva's playing catch-up."},{"host":"Chris","text":"But most Canva users never touch Midjourney. They want a picture for a birthday card, not a masterpiece."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Fair. And 55 languages is smart — that's a global play, not a Silicon Valley play."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Meanwhile, can we talk about a post that's literally just links and tagged accounts?

Look, the Duo folds in half, gives you a tablet when open. It's a niche, but it's growing."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Growing niche or expensive experiment? Because every folding phone I've seen has a crease you can feel."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Wired's guide says don't overthink it — most people should still just get the regular 18."},{"host":"Chris","text":"The boring answer is usually the right one.
