The problem is that you are identifying a symptom of an ongoing societal moral decline with an economic system. Spend some time on Dostoevsky or Kant. When morality is solely based on our current nationalism/hedonism hybrid in the West

Tokens will become significantly more expensive in the short term actually. This is not stemming from some sort of anti-AI sentiment. You have two ramps that are going to drive this. 1. Increase demand, linear growth at least but likely thi

This underestimates how much of the Internet is actually compressed into and is an integral part of the model's weights. Gemini 2.5 can recite the first Harry Potter book verbatim for over 75% of the book.

What humans are known to do, and apparently there is no limit to what they won't, is anthropomorphizing. I think there's not been a single one of these discussions where someone inevitably says LLM's don't do X as well a

Software moats were never really a moat in and of themselves. You always had to be a first mover. It's true that there are fewer and fewer first mover opportunities, but that has less to do with recent LLMs advancements and more that

The claim that users who don't adopt AI now will pay for it later or some other notion is a contradiction of their position. People who are bullish on AI should support this view wholesale. Opus 4.5 is easier to use than GPT 3.5. It ca

It's an interesting comparison, because Segway really didn't have any real users or explosive growth, so it was certainly hype. It was also hardware with a large cost. LLMs are indeed more akin to Google Search where adoption is r

Haha wow, you're so so funny. You may have shown too much already. Also, be careful, you might be too smart. You're cute though

How is this ironic? I asked you about your process and you haven't responded once, only platitudes and hyperbole about it and now you claim I'm making assumptions? I'd love to see your proompting. Again. You were the one that

by obirunda 1y ago
First of all. I never said that typing brackets and semicolons is what I'm arguing the benefits will come from. That's a very reductionist view of the process. You have really strawmanned that and positioned my point as stemming f

Here is the thing. Your initial claim was that English is the programming language . By virtue of making that claim you are claiming LLM has deterministic reliability equivalent to programming language -> compiler. This is simply not tr

You keep sidestepping the core issue with LLMs. If all that you are really doing is writing your code in English and asking the LLM to re-write it for you in your language of choice (probably JS), then end of discussion. But your tone reall

Do you understand what conflating means? Maybe ask your favorite gpt to describe it for you. I'm talking about the entire stack of development, from the architectural as well as the actual implementation. These are intertwined and assu

This is called being obtuse. Also, this illustrates my ambiguity point further, your workflow is not clearly described and only further muddled with every subsequent equivocation you've made. Also, are you actually using agents or just

It's not the same. Compilers compile to equivalent assembly, LLMs aren't in the same family of outcomes. If you are arguing for some sort of euphoria of getting lines of code from your presumably rigorous requirements much faster,

by obirunda 1y ago
The point I'm driving at is why? Why program in English if you have to go through similar rigour. If you're not actually handing off the actual engineering, you're putting the solution and having it translate to your language

by obirunda 1y ago
LLMs do not revoke ambiguity from the English language.. Look, if you prefer to use this as part of your workflow and you understand the language and paradigms being chosen by the LLM on your behalf, and can manage to produce extensible cod

by obirunda 1y ago
The thing that's assumed in "proompting" as the new way of writing code is how much extrapolation are you going to allow the LLM to perform on your behalf. If you describe your requirements in a context-free language you&#x27

by obirunda 1y ago
I don't think you understand why context-free languages are used for programming. If you provide a requirement with any degree of ambiguity the outcome will be non-deterministic. Do you want software that works or kind of works? If som

The dichotomy between the people who are "orchestrating" agents to build software and the people experiencing this less than ideal outcomes from LLMs is fascinating. I don't think LLM for coding productivity is all hype but I

by obirunda 2y ago
Yeah, it may feel scary but the biggest issue yet to be overcome is that to replace engineers you need reliable long horizon problem solving skills. And crucially, you need to not be easily fooled by the progress or setbacks of a project.

I think OpenAi will drop their ambition for AGI and focus on product, they'll never state this of course, but it's clearly telegraphed in this for profit move. Research and safety have to take a backseat for cost reduction. I mean

I think at its core it's not that there isn't value or future value, but currently there is an assertion, maybe some blind faith, that it's inevitable that a future version will deliver a free lunch for society. I think the

Especially when you separate the ethereal "hard problems" from every day queries local LLMs can answer equally as well as SOTA models, the value proposition for these expensive models plummets. If it can't solve real hard, lo

by obirunda 2y ago
I think the primary reason is that datasets contain a lot more average/bad code than exceptional, and to add to that problem judging between those is possibly a subjective issue. Developers using AI will get mostly average solutions fa

Ok. This is even worse. You shouldn't use your misunderstandings from previous discussions with other people and make generalizations with everybody else you meet on new discussions, especially if you are using an incendiary tone.

"the idea that markets balance everything to the advantage of everybody then seems to be just an excuse to be egoistic and without any care for others." There are two problems here: 1. You misstate and mischaracterize free-market
