> Sam Altman knew exactly which buttons to push. Congressional testimony about the need for regulation (from the company furthest ahead). Warnings about AI risk. OpenAI's playbook: Build in public, warn about dangers, present yourself as the responsible actor who needs resources to "do it safely." And this is why Matt Levine calls Sam Altman the greatest business negger of all time
We're building AI workflows at my company. Yes chatbots, but also more interesting/complex workflows that I won't get into. Let's just say we have the data, expertise, and industry structure to leverage AI in valuable and useful ways. As an engineer, development still comes down to requirements gathering, solid engineering principles, and the tools we already have at our disposal - network calls, rendering the UI, or…
Westworld robots are still a long way off, but think about how far we’ve come so quickly.
It’s pretty incredible that natural language computing is now seen as boring when it barely even existed 5 years ago.

I call bullshit. Let's see some repos.
I often find people contest this with the non-sequitur of "No, it's not a bubble, there is real value there. We are building things with it". The fact there is real value in the technology does not contradict in any way that we are in a bubble. It may even be supporting evidence for it. Compare with the dot com bubble : nobody would tell you there was no value in the internet. But it was still a bubble. A massive hyper inflated bubble. And when it popped, it left large swathes of the industry devastated even while a residual set of companies were left to carry on and build the "real" eventual internet based reworking of the entire economy which took 10 - 15 years.
People would be well advised to have a look at this point in time at who survived the dot com bubble and why.
>While established developers debate whether AI will replace them, these kids are shipping. Developers who learned their craft in the age of pull requests and sprint planning sneer at their security failures, not realizing that 'best practices' are about to flip again. The barbarians aren't at the gate. They're deploying to production. Shipping where? What production? What kids? I've yet to see this. I see the tools…

Hey, at least this one is willing to admit that they aren't building Machine Jesus. That's a start.
A rhetorical technique as old as dirt, but apparently still effective.
I think a key point from this article that I agree strongly with is the simple point that it is crucial that everyone recognise we are currently in an AI bubble .
