There's zero evidence to support the notion that LLMs help deliver software quicker.

$30T seems like a lot, but Anthropic and OpenAI will need to be making ten times that to match investor expectations.

Don't worry about it, the very best Claude tokens designed, implemented and tested it. What are you, some sort of luddite?

You're confusing "ally" and "vassal". Allies are countries that send troops to help you in war.

MIDI is a protocol, and it's not ever going away or being replaced. Some protocols (like I2C or MIDI) are gonna be with humanity forever, probably.

Yes, the modern pointy-haired boss thinks he's the next Steve Jobs visionary and will pitch his shitty internal ERP automation tool project as "the next sleek iPhone-like UI". (Wish I was joking.)

LLMs are next token predictors. They predict the next most likely token given the previous context window of N tokens. This means not giving an answer is not a technically possible option. Best you can do is force it to output a magic "

If k8s works for you, then go for it. But k8s was invented so that "dev" and "ops" teams could play nicely when they are different org structures, with their own budgets, deadlines, etc. If it solves some technical issue

It's a reaction. Nobody would be "anti-AI" if AI wasn't being shoved into everything while at the same time shaming you like you're stupid for not enjoying literal slop.

That's a software engineering problem. They just need to figure out how to fine-tune for alignment and tool usage. That's the only thing the normie consumer cares for really.
