I agree, this is a very incurious take that smacks of an old guard "keep on keepin' on" mindset. We have had script kiddies forever! It's just a chatbot and some message boards! It's the same thinking as an alien di

I remember reading about how the Amish operate. We treat them as a quaint, anti-progress cult of sorts, but they have a process where they consider new technologies and determine if they are worth adopting or not. Obviously the answer is &q

As much as I am sad that Google died like 15 years ago, I am past the mourning phase. That was when they announced they were shifting from returning websites to "returning answers" and it has been a long slide into shittification

I would love to see the opposite emerge, a programming environment focused on teaching architecture, security, separation of concerns, etc. All while letting LLMs deal with the fussy programming bits. The script is already flipping, with ki

No no no that's too reductive - instead, they transition all data through a transformer using SOTA systems to launder away technical, legal and interpersonal concerns before a stochastic output is dynamically placed in a predetermined

Concise helps clarity, but notice what still is lost. The original version used multiple perspectives to illustrate the point. It invites consideration, putting yourself in the shoes of each person before the "twist" is applied to

Maybe the Betamax/VHS is the best analogy for frontier vs. open models. Better tech doesn't matter if it is non-tenable for the general public. Eventually, the higher volume product will win.

Companies are on purpose poorly run during the "gold rush" phase, which is where AI is right now. Everyone wants to not be left behind and velocity is placed ahead of profitability and especially ahead of quality. What happens nex

An MCP bridge so ChatGPT can call local tools on your computer. Seems a bit insane and vibed, but intriguing.

Sandbags against a tsunami. When has "pump the brakes on progress" ever worked out? What we need is deep thinking on the implications and make the default way forward one where we want to go. In other words, we build a channel for

I have been re-reading Children of the Mind (sequel to Ender's Game) and I had forgotten about Jane, who is an AI that talks to Ender through his earpiece, seeing and hearing everything he does. Jane proactively searches things for him

I work on an MCP server and I agree. There is no need to make MCP servers the gateway for agentic or programmatic integration - that's exactly what API servers handle out of the box. The value of MCP servers is fine-toothed access on a

They are even cooler than that. Trees in a forest are connected through mycellium networks, which are said to have more connections underground than neurons in your brain. They showed if one tree was environmentally stresses it would signal

I have extended this to coding work as well. "Implement this plan in less than 1000 added lines, tests included". It's amazing how well-behaved and concise models can be with simple guardrails. Of course, you have to intuit a

Maybe you should? It would be less weird than you think. There is the Japanese custom of saying "Itadakimasu" before eating - not thanking the chef, but thanking the food itself. Mr. Rogers said that that "graceful receiving

There is a secondary, more nefarious purpose, near as I can tell. I constantly order items from Amazon that say "arriving tomorrow/Tuesday/etc." then the item invariably doesn't actually arrive when it was supposed

I think the difference between the Anthropic token maximization approach (vibe code all the things!) and OpenAI's focus on efficiency, terseness and token reduction are going to be the defining features of who wins the long-term race.

Quite different advice, actually. I do not trust an LLM to review or to code by itself, but it can enlighten or expose blindspots, without requiring me to dig through the codebase, especially around unrelated downstream impacts. The point i

This misses the best use of AI in my opinion, which is to gain understanding. Whst is this bit of code doing? Is there a risk of data leaking here? Are permissions enforced downstream of this function? Code review can go much deeper now if

I have actually found decent success recently (especially with Fable) giving it an "added line budget". This does more than anything else to keep it on task. The trick is knowing an approximate line count beforehand, but sometimes

Sad, but not as shittifying as losing the infinite onion grinder to COVID. The hot dog was only just the delivery device.

Like all extremists, he takes a mild view "if you have to explain the code, maybe it needs to be refactored" to "no comments ever". Never mind business logic or footguns that can't be fixed right now because of Reas

Every round of models (plus all the secret tweaks) require new strategies to stay afloat as a human. My new tactic for Fable and Opus is to give them a line limit, both during planning and code creation. It os amazing how well that works fo
