Did you drop that ";-)" from the title because you want to showcase how few people actually read articles posted on HN and just respond to titles. Or did you not read further yourself and didn't even notice it? :P

Probably got automatically trimmed off by HN's title-fixer thing.

Either way, it removes an important bit of context. Without the it, it seems exactly like one of those over the top hyped claims the article is critical about. It's going to be interesting what sort of comments this will draw in then.

Wonder how many people are only going to read the headline, because it isnt claiming that AGI is coming in 6 months at all.

I just thought "AGI will be coming in 6 months every month from now on, until the peddlers run out of suckers^H^H^H investors. And of course I skipped the article.

Not saying that you should read the article, but for some context the actual title as ";-)" at the end. Which for some reason is removed here, that should give you a clue that it actually isn't making such claims.

Making a misleading title in order to bait responses would be clickbait. People responding to a title that assertively states something is not some amazing gotcha.

Although in this case it must be what the sibling comment said about HN stripping the smiley.

Yeah I dropped it thinking HN might not allow it :)

Oef, well that is surely going to influence how people interact (or skip) the article.

That's pretty much my take. LLMs aren't a bad idea, they are useful, in certain fields, but they aren't living up to the sales pitch and they are to expensive to run.

My personal take is that the whole chat based interface is a mistake. I have no better solution, but for anything beyond a halluciating search engine, it's not really the way we need to interact with AI.

In my mind we're 6 months away from one of the biggest crashes in tech history.

I think the article is way more bullish on AI than what the ";-)" and you imply.

Don't compare Bitcoin and the Meta verse with ai.

Millions of people use LLMs daily.

Veo 3 just came out.

People get fired due to LLMs and GenAI replacing them.

Google uses ai code for years in the background.

Playing around with cursor for a few days is way to naive to be able to determine the current situation with coding and ai

The AI hype also made voice to text and text to voice a lot better.

It's not just chat. But I really enjoy the Claude or chatgpt chat UI.

I'm not sure what your problem with that UI is tbh?

I don't think there will be any crash soon. I'm hoping for lower prices but I can't imagine not having these tools available anymore.

I'm also waiting for better and cheaper support for local development and inferencing.

I'm waiting left and right for a lot of smaller things. Like cheaper Claude, Hardware LLM chips, secure integration of my bank account and other personal data. More capacity for the beta projects of coding agents.
