It's an optimal first order approximation. Anything anyone with a capital-C in their job title says in public should be assumed to be marketing material.

Snake oil scam. They simply don't do what the label on the box says they do.

The sooner the better.

The models are still useful bumbling fools. We're in the flat part of the curve because we've exhausted existing data sources.

I disagree with your assessment pretty strongly -- the models themselves hit a wall over a year ago once companies exhausted all existing training data. LLMs don't induce world mod…

Depends on what you consider long-lived. I typically generate stacks of 3-5 PRs in 1-2 days now (in a gen-AI world).

Because sometimes there are changes that need to land as all or nothing.

Calling "reasoning tokens" "thinking" is a complete confusion of concepts on your part.

Nope. It's only surprising to people who still think they're going to build God out of LLMs.

No, it's significantly more complex.

They are referring to Hetch Hetchy.

How about critiquing the actual recommendation instead of the people?

Too bad they voted to eliminate accountability for businesses that poison people. Now they get to find out.

I have a Miele canister vacuum. I love it. My wife bought the Dyson garbage anyway because she can't ignore her instagram feed.
