What? Besides the fact that Bing was always a MSFT product, the LLM assisted search feature on Bing is still separate [0] from copilot.microsoft.com. At most it was a rename, though Copilot on the MSFT side is different from the one on Bing, is different from the one relying on your local TPU, is different from the one on Github... Great branding.

Even if the content was unreviewed LLM slop, I'd be hard pressed to find a model that outputs that Bing was bought by MSFT when at no point were the two separate.

Also, missing some of the greatest failures like Bard, Dia Browser, Sora, etc.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did delivering quality really get easier? I'm certainly not seeing it in the software I use. Delivering scale doesn't mean the mission was executed well.

Judging from everyone I know, it will take people a lot of time to learn and accept a lesson from decades ago(one from before some of us were even born and I'm in my mid 30's): lines of code is a shit metric. Sloppers tend to believe that something seemingly working = production ready = good execution. And the metric, of course, is lines of code or "tokens". Until then, the list on this website will keep growing expo…

Does it seem like even senior developers are forgetting this axiom? Or do we feel as though it's been obviated by LLM grokking swaths of text for us?

TBH I'm so arrogant, I always suspect there's redundant nonsense in any code module I haven't myself inspected. LLM code is no different.

Same as crypto/blockchain five years ago. Exactly the same.

Reminds me of fuckedcompany.com during the internet / web bubble in 2000 and the early 2000s.

Seems like every bubble has the same thing going on. I guess during tulip mania everyone was a florist.

Died is such a charged word for acquired which is usually celebrated for the company

When a company is acquired, sometimes the company's products get a new lease on life, and sometimes the company's products are killed, or allowed to die.

Langfuse, W&B, streamlit and reclaim are far from dead. This list doesn't make much sense

Just came here to say that https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io/ is still up and running, largely thanks to the hundreds of LLM based bots hallucinating product reviews for it.

I also, thanks to meat gpt, met a guy who sold his startup and pivoted to making beef jerky which sometimes he sells from under his coat pretending it’s drugs.

MeatGPT might’ve lost a competition to a site with perfectly rendered 3d sandwiches, but I’m not bitter, I’m umami.

Acquired is such a euphemism for died which is usually mourned by users.
