Why are half of the comments on Hackernews stereotypical AI-bros whose lives revolve around tech, and the other half sceptical commentators whose lives also revolve around tech but they are disappointed with its performance?!

Where are the normal people :/

We are just reading the comments.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Things mature, and expectations grow appropriately. That is true of more than just LLM performance.

Sure, but it's good to have some perspective and some awe that any of this would've been absolute unbelievable magic just 3 years ago. Even if all AI progress stopped immediately, we'd need 10 years to digest and incorporate the technology.

As someone who's been building developer tools (Visual Studio and Xcode) for 25 years, I don't have a perspective problem. We were doing "code completion" back in the 90s and could never have predicted that an LLM would write code at the current level of quality.

My point is that with every new model release, the expectations grow. I don't know how else to say that.

Antigravity may well Top the whatever benchmark but: My Antigravity (forced) replacement for Gemini CLI requires me to log on via browser every time I use it, and my Antigravity IDE won't update at all, so: If it's ok I'd prefer they just work on reaching a baseline acceptable rollout before worrying about being Top in anything. Ps actual title: OpenSCAD LLM Benchmark: Building the Pantheon

The forced upgrade from Gemini CLI which I liked as much, and as some ways better than Claude Code was bad. But them just sending out that email on Wednesday that basically said "Thanks for subscribing to Google One AI Pro, as of right now we're adding limits to your account. Tough shit you get nothing." left a REALLY bad taste in my mouth. I had previously praised the "AI Pro" subscription as a good value.

Both parts seem pretty normal to me.

Last weekend I bought my wife a bike off marketplace. It was in good condition but was missing one of the internal cable routing grommets. I gave Claude pictures of the pill-shaped hole by itself and with my digital calipers in the long and short directions. Gave it a short prompt and it gave me an openscad model with everything parametrized. I printed with no changes in tpu and it was nearly perfect on the first try…

these small functional prints are exactly where OpenSCAD and LLM generation shines

Wild that it doesn't cache the creds.

My (unfounded) guess is this is to prevent usage by other tools/openclaw. The browser login will have a fingerprinting to make sure you are a human.

Yeah, CAD has been my personal example of "oh the barrier to entry for this skill was high enough that I didn't do it and now I can be passably bad at it enough to get some simple things done"

I've had similar experiences with making simple functional parts off a 3d printer with OpenSCAD + LLMs. I'm very aware that the models are worse at it than say, generating react code, and I'm also the antithesis of a skilled pilot. It's still cool and has resulted in me starting to learn a new skill at a hobby level.

Still a long way from shorting Autodesk. As a side note Autodesk released an agentic assistant back in December for Fusion. Six months later it is still quite bad.

It is almost comically bad. I've had a few simple parts to design for 3d printing in the last weeks and tried it with them (each are about 4 operations on the timeline), and it never created close to what I was trying to do even if spelled out step by step according to Fusion naming.

At this point I'm not even sure if it can properly create a simple primitive solid.
