Google's edge obvious here is the deep integration it already has with calendar, apps, and chats and what not that lets them surface context-rich updates naturally. OpenAI doesn't have that same ecosystem lock-in yet, so to really compete they'll need to get more into those integrations. I think what it comes down to ultimately is that being "just a model" company isn't going to work. Intelligence itself will go to z…

OpenAI should just straight up release an integrated calendar app. Mobile app. The frameworks are already there and the ics or caldav formats just work well. They could have an email program too and just access any other imap mail. And simple docs eventually. I think you’re right that they need to compete with google on the ecosystem front.

Yeah, they even don't need devs to release it, Altman can just ask ChatGpt to write it for him. lol.

Only if you can tick off ALL of the deliverables that verify "done".

Sure, I took a video etc like in the deliverables. That means it’s successfully done?

Yes, it's done.

You get what you asked for, or you didn't sufficiently define it.

`Anyone is great at creating a bad first draft` Famously not so! Writer's block is real!

The rest of the paragraph and the link address exactly that.

There might be techniques that help overcome writer's block, sure. But it's still a real problem.

Getting an LLM to produce a not-so-bad first draft is just another technique.

There are two main use cases for blockchain assets at the moment: - Gambling (or politely called, speculation or even 'investment') - Ransomware payments, but that's a distant second I guess you say that influencers make money off the first? There's a third group making money off blockchain: the people making markets and running the infrastructure.

and sending money cross borders to your family and paying suppliers outside of your country and having a multi-currency account without insane fees and automating finance and upgrading financial systems to modern tech

I found interacting with the blockchain world to be much higher in fees than when going via the real finance route.

You pretty much jumped to the most negative possible interpretation. You think there isn't an editing process?

There is no editing process during a first draft, no. That’s the whole point of a draft, it’s a separate process from revisions and editing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_(writing)

Were you trying to be intentionally obtuse? What was your goal with that reply? Are you trying to troll?

'I don't know what the problem exactly is' the problem is that western civilisation is so far up their asses with capitalism that they think that some corporation cares about them (users).

They don't need to care. Nobody cares. That's not a special feature of corps though: Most employees to not care about the company they work for. They do not care about their employers. They do not care about the product they are building. What I am asking to interview this viewpoint is: Why will it be a problem when a company reaches a certain size? If they have no other goal than making money, are the biggest asshol…

The issue is one of power imbalance. It's not a new observation to say that money basically equates to power. The more money you have, the more influence you have, the more you get your way. And the more you don't have to care about what anyone else thinks. You become completely detached from the needs and wants of the majority around you because as long as your needs and wants are being met you have no reason to work with anyone else. They need you more than you need them OR you have so much more money/power that you don't really need to account for their well-being at all. There is no material difference to you at a certain point. And the gap between who Has and who Has Not is getting larger. By a lot.

How can the world continue to function this way if fewer of us have so much wealth that the rest of us effectively have no say in how the world works?

I’d love to know whether and to what extent the people for which AI has been a huge boost are those who were already producing slop, and now they have AI that can produce that slop much faster.

By framing it in such a way you are making personal and it becomes less about defending the process of using AI and more about defending their integrity as a developer. You will not get anything useful when someone responds in that way, just a heated argument where they feel deeply insulted and act accordingly.

Well said

Also I don’t know about you but despite the fact that I basically never write with a pen, the occasional time I have to I’m a little slow sure but it’s not like I physically can’t do it. It’s no big deal. Imagine telling someone with a typewriter that they’d be unable to write if they don’t write by hand all the time lol. I write by hand maybe a few times a year - usually writing a birthday card or something - but I…

Yep, same. I might have forgotten some function names off the top of my head, but I still know how to program, and I do every day.

Exactly

The same way you do security for manually written code. Rigorously. But in this case, you can also have AI also do your code reviews and suggest/write unit tests. Or write out a spec and refine it. Or point it to OWASP and say, look at this codebase and make a plan to check for these OWASP top 10. And have another AI review your unit tests and code. It's pretty amazing how much nuance they pick up. And just rinse and…

Yeah, some of these comments make it sound we had zero security issues pre-AI. I think the challenge is what you touched on, you have to tell the AI to handle it just like anything else you want as a requirement. I've use AI to 'vibe' code things and they have turned out pretty well. But, I absolutely leaned on my 20+ years of experience to 'work' with the AI to get what I wanted.

If you never put your personal side-project on the public web you had very few security issues resulting from your personal projects. We weren't talking about companies in this thread.

Are the frontend folks having such great results from LLMs that they're OK with "just let the LLM check for security too" for non-frontend-engineer created projects that get hosted publicly?
