What exactly are you building? Does it need 1M lines of code, or is it 10X the needed code already. SQLite + tests is around 1.5M lines of code, somehow I strongly doubt you’re bui…

I suspect that when it comes to hard complex software products, you’re better off ignoring agents and doing “trad coding”. What you lose in short term speed you gain in manageable …

I agree sundar will step down but I’m not sure if this means they’re grooming Demis to takeover. I suspect not, and someone else might take over.

There is some need for local labor, but it’s an order of magnitude lower than the number of Uber drivers that get paid. I never thought of this, but I think this is a valid concern…

Just sounds dystopian,

I agree, there isn’t much of a skill to using AI. And the model keeps changing so frequently anyway making any/ old skills redundant.

I feel the divide is between people who built something for the joy of building vs people who built something for the joy of consuming (like you). For you LLM’s are great, you can …

If you go to a coffee shop and ask for extra ice, whole milk, double espresso latte - did you make the coffee or did the Barista make it. You gave him some specific directions didn…

But you didn’t solve anything. AI solved it. If you go to a coffee shop and ask extra ice, less sugar, more vanilla - did you make the coffee or the barista make the coffe and you …

This is really cool, great work!

Yes I don’t want to see AI paintings, I don’t see computers playing chess, I don’t want to see AI generated code. What you do for your business, in this economy is your choice, pro…

I’d say even GitHub copilot autocomplete is LLM aided coding. Copy pasting from a chat too is. But let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. The point is the intent. We d…

I’m not sure if that’s enough but it would be a great start.

Very well said. I don’t like seeing hackernews submissions that are LLM generated. The joy of hackernews was seeing applied human ingenuity, most of these weren’t successful produc…

Where do these models even have this data to learn from. There must be massive computer use datasets? I have a hard time believing it’s emergent if it’s able to do something this g…

A one time payment like 1.5B doesn’t do anything. There needs to be a royalty payment based on if the AI regurgitates existing ideas. That is probably the correct way to legislate …

I don’t understand math but it was amusing seeing Terrence Tao’s chat with chatGPT. Everything Tao said was constantly followed by praise: “That’s exactly the right way to think ab…

Serious suggestion, as we’re going to get many such submissions in the future. Can we have an honor code policy of no LLM agents used in development if you want to present on Hacke…

Yes I won’t use LLM autocomplete or agents for any personal projects. At work, I’ll do whatever’s needed.

I’m such a CLANKER hater now, I want to know if this was written by agents or not. If written by agents, I don’t want anything to do with it. I only want human written software, ev…

Thanks

Yes, not everyone will agree with me. Maybe some people just want to consume AI abundance forever and live on UBI, like Altman’s wet dream. But there will be some group of people, …

Surgeons too now? Another avenue for human skill destroyed. I actually want to exit. I want to live in a society where humans flourish not AI. Actually one just needs to walk the s…

Exactly, a lot of people keep attacking me as anxiety for losing my livelihood. It’s not that. It’s just depression that another avenue for human craftsmanship has been taken over …
