The article claims Claude Sonnet 3.5 was released less than 9 months ago, but this is wrong.

Claude 3.5 was released in june 2024.

Maybe he has been writing this article for a while, maybe he meant Claude Code or Claude 4.0

I’ve been working on a learning / incremental reading tool for a while, and I’ve found LLM and LLM adjacent tech useful, but as ways of resolving ambiguity within a product that doesn’t otherwise show any use of LLM. It’s like LLM-as-parser.

On agents it’s interesting but not surprising coding has seen so much initial success. Personally I’m waiting for better O365 and SharePoint agents. I think there’s a lot of automation and helper potential there.

I'm building an opinionated take on this. It's shaping up nicely.

If you're a Rust developer reading this, interested in AI + GUI + Enterprise SaaS, and wants to talk, I'm building a team as we speak. E-mail in profile.

>> in five years time most internet users will spend a big part of their day scrolling an AI-generated feed.

Yep. Looking forward to the future where you can eat plastic pop-corn while watching the AI-generated video feeds.

The classic problem that online commenters face is that they only know products that are on Hacker News and Reddit. And I get why. Not being plugged into anything the only way to get information is social media so you only know social media.

E.g. https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/press-releases/2025/septem...

B2B AI company, 2 years in sold for hundreds of millions, not an agent, chatbot, or completion. Do you know it exists? No. You only read Hacker News. How could you know?

A few more seem to work as well, because I've used them and found them valuable - human language translation - summarization - basic content generation - spoken language transcription

> basic content generation

Dunno, man, I can spot ai-generated content a mile away, it tends to be incredibly useless so once I spot it, I’ll run in the opposite direction.

At this point MS should probably sunset SharePoint and try again.
