I have not experimented that much, my observation is mostly that people seem to have different experiences with the capabilities. Personally I still use mainly Opus and find it handles most tasks quite well (without burning all my corporate

I agree with you generally, just an observation on coding specifically. Have the models improved since Opus 4.x? I find the newer models are not better in my day job, maybe in one shotting mvp's and other tasks. Not trying to argue you

I agree from a programmers perspective. But from a broad market and product perspective, for most things you don't need to look at the code. If the product kinda does what it's supposed to. For example, in my game projects I don&#

What you say is true, the comparison indeed doesn't hold. But is it relevant? does it matter from a product perspective if LLMs are non-deterministic. You don't need to one shot the correct result, english is ambiguous and LLMs no

Similar for me, I don't like the development for many reasons, but that's another discussion. I also can't deny the capabilities. I use the tools with this "risk analysis": - If performance doesn't improve I ca

classic, now I can have AIs make my games for me while I still have to cook and wash the dishes! Maybe AI can soon start playing the games for me, can't wait.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they said to him "I will give you a million and your job back after IPO if you resign". To be clear, I don't believe this is what happened here, I'm typing this half jokingly

Genuinely interested, which ones do you think have relevance? If I read forums and talk to people IRL most have differing opinions what model is best. Yes, for me it's pretty clear Opus is better than earlier models, but it's at l

Also if your entire stack is on the cloud, mess of lambdas and other proprietary services, difficult as hell to follow logs, can't really run locally.

In game dev (weirdly enough) I don't think this is true. I was thinking about this yesterday and realized that I don't even want to play only my own games (made by LLMs or me), I explicitly want to experience what other people hav

I've been in such a situation for a period in my life, it gets really boring after 1-2 years. But idk, maybe it's different for you.

If we truly would get robots with AGI doing anything a human can do but cheaper|better|reliable, it's not comparable at all to history IMO. It's not "a lot of jobs", it's "all jobs".

This is why I generally don't trust benchmarks, or anything other than my own experience tbh. It always seems like everyone has a different answer. If we truly had some AGI model, it would probably be fairly obvious to us all no?

I think it's arguable that it wouldn't be catastrophic. Doesn't have to be outright lying, it can be something like "opt out" being off by default, and them opting you in at the next update without you noticing. Thi

They are probably referring to what Rob said in a presentation. "The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C

I can think of many reasons, repo access, no LLMs allowed at company, everything needing approval from some department ... It's easy to trivialize the work of others from the outside knowing nothing of the context they work in.

> More people hate and getting off Facebook. More people are jumping from Windows to macOS or Linux. Might be true. But here is another angle, thinking about the people I know that are not in tech or avid gamers, which I would say is sti

Indeed, would the advice be good if university was free? Where I live it's basically free and I still sometimes regret not going into the trades. But I suspect this feeling might mostly be a "grass is greener" thing.

Seems to me if technical decisions on the level of "no more AI comments" go through management the organization doesn't know what they are doing. To be fair, I would not be surprised.

Interesting how models become better and beat benchmarks left and right but the user sentiment is actually quite mixed. From forums, live discussions and my own experience it's not obvious that the models have improved much since aroun

The expert is now outsourced to LLM. If someone asks me about a bug in a system I made N years ago, I usually have a hunch what the problem might be, now it feels I'm lost in my own codebase (even if I really read the code). Similar to

This is where I suspect most value with LLMs are _currently_. Of all my friends the ones actually gaining measurable value from LLMs are not product developers but rather entrepreneurs in some service business that have automated processes

My hypothesis based on my discussions with non tech friends. If you can go from (prompt > website > deployment), such that you have a site on the web basically from behind one login. That's very valuable, I basically think (we) d

I still think it's correct. Execution is the part that matters. Almost everyone I know "came up with" some startup, ex. Uber before Uber existed, yet none of them did it. I have personally thought of maybe 2 startup ideas tha

Fun example I've had (some weeks ago), Agent completely dismissed the lack of strong consistency in our db system, this tiny bug would have caused a massive problem in the future. A bug that is not immediately obvious, no syntax error,

And if you start measuring amount of commits or PR's I'd bet money on there suddenly being smaller PR's and more commits. As soon as the metric is tied to peoples livelihood, it will be gamed. Funny anecdote: I had a large co

I see more of people using data and bad metrics to justify whatever they want to push rather than genuinely trying to improve conditions. I don't have any data to prove this :)
