Did geohot not found one of these?
- eviluncle 1y agoYes. He mentions that in passing that saying people will accuse him of hating on it because he didn't profit from it. I think his point of view is that his company's attempt was smaller scale and not part of the $10B+ waste? In any case I don't fully understand what he's trying to say other than negating the hype (which i generally agree with), but not offering any alternative thoughts of his own other than- we have bad tools and programming language. (why? how are they bad? what needs to change for them to be good?)
- vessenes 1y agoWell, he’s currently running a startup aimed at making better tooling for the space. So, he’s putting his time where mouth is.
- runlevel1 1y agoBefore he deleted his Twitter account, he claimed AI was already being better than humans and that singularity was only a few years away. He's confidently wrong a lot. (Even if I happen to agree with his new, more sober take on AI coding here.)
