Another potential takeaway is that the models all gathering around the same point supports the idea that there is a ceiling to LLM capability.

This is a really useful framing. I also love step 3 and when I delegate it to an LLM it takes the joy out of my work. But where I've found LLMs most useful is steps 1 and 2. They a…

I'm also amazed at the degree an LLM can get the drift with a vague or incomplete prompt. The ability to perceive and operate based on patterns that go beyond the language in the t…

This isn't offered as a defense of Einstein since I couldn't speculate on what ideas he must have been consciously aware of, but several times in my life I've thought I had a novel…

Marketing about a more efficient product that requires fewer engineers is obviously not new. The idea that human engineers are obsolete is pretty new, that's the claim that is gett…

The symbol of ownership doesn't hold much value without any of its benefits.

That's true, on some level it is capable of reasoning about the physical world even beyond our ability, through sheer breadth of knowledge and stamina. I suppose the area where it …

To help explain AI to my elderly mother, I said it is like an alien intelligence on a planet too far away to directly observe Earth, and everything it knows about humanity and our …

I read Jimmy's statement and it comes across as exactly the kind of leadership you would want in this situation, whether you are a pro-union employee or not. An employer has a legi…

Fair compensation is a legitimate reason for unions. I don't know much about this situation, but I know it is possible for unions to basically be a group of drama-oriented bullies …

The determined mouse with the barbells and the headband is my new spirit animal.

In order for you to properly guide it through a refactor, you have to understand the code, which becomes less possible as it grows into a mess of spaghetti. I think that's just set…

Anything built this way will have a hard limit on the ability to scale in terms of functionality and load. Eventually it will get to a point where not even AI can work with it. It …

Thank you, I couldn't find it with google and I was starting to think the internet had forgotten it in its steady decline. Whether that's a symptom or the cause of the decline, I c…

It's beautiful but I was disappointed not to see the famous gif of the tiger approaching, which was 95% of the content of my geocities page.

The classroom experience cannot be replaced, but obviously Independent learning is still valuable and needed.

I'm curious if you are a coder and have used an LLM to review your code. It is like something like shining a black light around a hotel room, and that seems to be the case even for…

Any observations on Opus 5 personality quirks? I had to skip 4.8 entirely because it has zero chill.

Pure speculation, but I've noticed drawbacks to the models on high effort. I interact mostly through prompts rather than agents so I sometimes see where their reasoning falls short…

This is pure survivorship bias talking. Being ruthless is one way to get just about anything you want, but rarely the best way and it sits with you. Even Steve Jobs spent so much t…

It seems like I have challenges with both extremes, I can get pulled into my work and not look up again for 10 hours. But with virtually everything else, I have no energy to see it…

No value is essentially "smaller than you would find acceptable."
