Reminds me of this article: https://www.theverge.com/podcast/917029/software-brain-ai-ba... Software engineers are definitely in a bit of a bubble here. Are we just early adopters who see the value sooner, or does

Yeah I mean this is closer to my use of LLMs, where I'm intentionally slowing things down enough to follow and course correct myself. This whole build the loop not the prompt idea seems to be advocating the opposite... I don't fee

The huge investment into LLMs at a loss is about having control of these tools and technology. Now we're seeing a state try to take some control. But who do you trust more to make these decisions? A democratically elected government or
