But these are the exact kinda mistakes that make me so pissed over the recent discourse that Serious Journalists shouldn't debase themselves with something as silly as basic LLM-pe…

Very scary stuff. Shame certain details basically discredit the entire thing. "Rohypnol and GHB fall within the benzodiazepine family" is so fundamentally incorrect I'm not sure wh…

Even if they actually did work as well as the author wants to believe they could, there's still the matter of utility. Efficient pricing of real assets actually injects something, …

doesn't matter if it's just some agent using the system in the end, you do understand you still need an actual system for consistency etc, right? Just that instead of cirrent "maki…

Other idea: Stay with SaaS, real devs, real core product, closed source, but each customer can (if they want and pay up) literally skip multi-tenant and being on the same codebase …

I think the idea is you'd basically have it take a look at your current system, it would learn what features you're actually using at all, it'd check company emails for past and cu…

Very much normal yes. This is why I've been (so far) still mainly sticking to having it as an all-knowing oracle telling me what I need to know, which it mostly does successfully. …

Probably the best we can hope for at the moment is a reduction in the back-and-forth, increase in ability to one-shot stuff with a really good spec. The regular human work then bec…

By your interactions with them. Sure, after-the-fact caring won't result in any external effects, but a lot of caring is expressed in interaction which is indeed left with people. …

Hey this is much like that tribe from the other day that DID get addicted to porn. What a coincidence. I've also heard of this one tribe heavily addicted to misinformation. They ju…

The issue with what you write is that it's most all nonsense. Your core thesis doesn't pass the smell test at all. Because you utterly ignore Finland. It's less that it's not NATO …

It's a very powerful autocomplete. "It doesn't generate all the code I need in full and if it does I have to poke at it" is just poor criticism. You don't have to press tab and ins…

That's what makes it bad. A fixed algorithm that soon will spawn pittances would do an utterly miserable job if it ever gained status and usage as actual currency. Deflation is bad…
