That’s great for you and Simon but I personally don’t think there will be enough people in the future to use or appreciate these things that can be built and eventually no who will care to build them, and while this “discovery of LLMs phase” might be fun it diminishes the value I used to get from the job, which was writing code, problem solving, discussing and learning with people (having real people and mentors to w…

There are people NOW who use and appreciate it. There are also people who speak for others. I voted you up because you actually put thought into a response, not that the response is a good argument. Some of it is your opinion, and that's yours alone and not for anyone to judge. The rest of it is more focused on others and their actions, before your own. That I can attack, and do so gleefully. I've been using LLMs for…

So it is about grifting, just as we thought. Not everything is about the money, my man. And then you go on and use the literal most tired trope of "you're going to be left behind". No original thoughts.

Pelican from a few days ago: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/6/hy3/ - I was using the free tier on OpenRouter, which expires on July 21st. I tried the preview model 41 days ago and got a pelican with a "change pelican color" button: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/hy3-preview-pel...

I have been overly critical and arguing in bad faith about your writing in the past. As well as negative towards you, which in turn was breeding a bad environment. While I dont really enjoy LLMs, you did help me realize my unreasonable feelings as well as realize the occupation (and the joys I got from it) is essentially dead from it’s previous iteration and that I should let go and just join in the “I’m doing it for…

Ooookay?

> I am no writer but to me it seems like writing is one of the easiest tasks with barely any logic or reasoning Virtually all logic or reasoning is, in one way or another, part of the support for writing. It’s what separates actual writing from generating nonsense that happens to fit grammar rules. The specific details depend on the domain, of course, but I can’t see how anyone familiar with the output of writing can…

Of course there is logic but its nowhere near the complexity of math or programming

That’s trivially false in the case where “math” or “programming” is the domain of the writing, but its also false more generally.

Please don’t discourage this kind of public thoughtful introspection.

Recently tried the pelican test on GPT-OSS which was probably one of the best local models of 2025. So cool to see how models have improved in the SVG pelican!

GPT-OSS was by far the worst local model in 2026. I have the luxury of plenty of H100's to try them, and Gpt-oss was atrocious with a coding agent. Gemma4 and Deepseek 4 are the best for coding, Qwen for images.
