The author clearly explains his process in detail, explaining the pitfalls. Not sure why you’d make a dig like this. There are some useful insights in the article

This paper feels a bit biased in that it is trying to prove a point versus report on results objectively. But if you look at the results of study 3, doesn’t it suggest that there are ai models that can improve how people handle interpersona

This is an absolute rarity these days. Very appreciative of the true leadership on display here

That’s simply not true, governments help billions of people in many ways, especially people with disabilities, children (ie labor protections), women, etc. You are completely disingenuous to say otherwise. Billionaires are harming many peop

You are basically an anarchist then. There are examples of good governance in the world, where the rule of law hasn’t been eroded by the people you are set on protecting. The problem with billionaires is more about the problem of power in t

Something needs to be done about the historic inequality in this country. It will undue all the “innovation” (ie selling ads and addicting people to the internet) that these tech billionaires have contributed.

That is where I’m shocked being in a position of raising for a startup myself, what was in their pitch deck/data room that convinced them of this valuation? Or is it due to the founders reputation and not the substance?

Ai deploys itself to aws, saving GitHub but destroying Microsoft’s cloud business — full circle

So pointing out that the dude works for a morally corrupt billionaire gets you downvotes… we’ve got a draw the line somewhere folks. Working for the wealthiest person in the world who lacks an moral framework is morally wrong. You should be

This is why I come to hacker news. Sanity check on why my jobs are failing.

Sorry, but hard to not have some negative sentiment about you working at xAI, Elon is so incredibly toxic. Thanks for the article though.

The sheer ignorance . To form such an opinion, with such confidence and literally the only grounding is a few women he/she has dated. We are living in an idiocracy.

Unfortunately, Technological solutions are more politically feasible than attempting to reduce via restrictions and regulations that require intense global coordination that does not exist.

I do think Manus had a better approach than some of the competitors of the space, allowing for far more agentic flows (ie manus would run its own code, debug, write and run tests, etc). Lovable or v0 by contrast are quite primitive. Very un

If this is the new way code is written then they are arguably learning how to code. Jury is still out though, but I think you are being a bit dismissive.

I love how utterly insane this idea is. Sometimes thinking outside the box like this can yield results.

It reminds me of llm output at scale. Llms tend to produce a lot of similar but slightly different ideas in a codebase, when not properly guided.

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds more like staff engineer not team lead/mgmt?

New software may end up being less about legacy foundations and more about bespoke software, fast iteration, throw away single purpose code, etc. AI is likely to change fundamental paradigms around software design by significantly decreasin

Are you arguing that the difficulty of producing a fully functioning poc is no different today than 2-3 years ago?! Personally, I’ve been writing software for 10 years professionally. It is much easier, especially for someone with little c

I was asking you a specific question and am curious of your answer. The impact of ai “blinding” people isn’t an “economic indicator” and hardly something that has been proven. Of course there are major issues with how people use ai just lik

Can you specify? I am personally using ai coding tools to replace subscription tools. While it’s valuable to me, in aggregate it would be a potential decline in economic activity for traditional services (this would only play out years from

One alternative explanation to the lack of shovelware, people are deploying software at an individual level. Perhaps millions of new people are using vibe code tools to build tools that are personalized and folks aren’t interested in trying

Ah true, that also can happen — in aggregate I think models will tend to expand codebases versus contract. Though, this is anecdotal and probably is something ai labs and coding agent companies are looking at now.
