I’m worried that opportunities like this to build fun/interesting software over models are evaporating. A service just like this maybe 3 years ago would have been the coolest and most helpful thing I discovered. But when the same 2 foundation models do the heavy lifting, I struggle to figure out what value the rest of us in the wider ecosystem can add. I’m doing exactly this by feeding the papers to the LLMs directly…
I hear you. At the same time, I think we're on the cusp of a Cambrian explosion of creativity and there's a lot of opportunity. But we need to think about it differently; which is hard to do since the software industry hasn't changed much in a generation.
It wouldn't surprise me if we start to see software having much shorter shelf-lives. Maybe they become like songs, or memes.
I'm very long on human creativity. The faster we can convert ideas into reality, the faster new ideas come.
