genius move by Mark, this could make them the google of LLMs

This, code is written by humans for humans. LLMs cannot compete no matter how much data you throw at them. A world in which software is written by AI will likely won't be code that…

I don't know what's your experience with outsourcing. But people outsource full projects not the writing of a couple of methods. With LLMs still unable to fully understand relative…

what do you want done about it? Hallucination is an intrinsic part of how LLMs work. What makes a hallucination is the inconsistency between the hallucinated concept and the realit…

Why don't you give actual concrete testable examples back with evidence where this is the case? Put your skin in the game.

They are partially hype though. That's what people here are arguing. There are benefits but their valuation is largely hype driven. AI is going to transform industries and humanity…

I believe the honeymoon face has loong been finished. Even in the mainstream, last year of the AI year. 2024 has seen nothing substantially good and the only notesworthy thing is t…

Welcome to capitalism. The market forces will squeze max value out of them. I imagine that Anthropic and OpenAI will be in the future fully downsized and acquired by their main inv…

> a ton of really badly written apps encountered out in the wild when I did some small business IT consultancy made me very averse to VB in general. A lot of VB has been historical…

Production environments are full of PoCs that were meant to be binned

> It's shockingly stable. So much so that resolving the root cause isn't considered a priority and so we've had this running for months. I don't know why my senses tell me that thi…

Tell that to the customer, as a web/mobile agency, when they ask you to contractually commit to a date for the release of their web app

In the world of professional software development, economic value is king. This rule has marginal declining utility after some point and in some cases it is just not worth it. Thin…

We would be fine but rich people's investments would not grow as much or as fast

You are supposed to call it AI now. The word "machine learning" is for GOFAI 2nd gen only. Once all investors have been money drained and the next AI winter begins, then you will b…

There is a different between physical toughness and having to endure verbal abuse however tiny you might think it is. At the end of the day, everyone has an emotional blindspot tha…

The vendor will always be in control. Worth knowing but feels a bit of an empty statement (like water is wet)

So you are selling an app whose server could be plugged at any time and render the app unusable. How is that any better than a subscription. Imagine paying money for a phone that s…

Their goal is not working on what's most useful for most people though. That's the domain of the big AI players. They are small and so specialising works best as that's where they …

> I am not even sure if business properly realizes all this It definitely doesn't, as in the top directors likely don't. It is likely that they brought in some kind of consultant w…

Do you regularly give away money just because it is a minuscule amount?

It's no secret that Android users are money tight compared to Apple users. It makes sense to start on iOs and gauge subscribers before spending additional resources on making anoth…
