In my feed 'AI hype' outnumbers 'anti-AI hype' 5-1. And anti-hype moderates like antirez and simonw are rare. To be a radical in ai is to believe that ai tools offer a modest but growing net positive utility to a modest but growing subset of hackers and professionals
- kaffekaka 9mo agoWell put. AI obviously brings big benefits into the profession. We just have not seen exactly what they are just yet. How it will unfold. But personally I feel that a future of not having to churn out yet another crud app is attractive.
- catlifeonmars 9mo agoIn theory “not having to churn out yet another crud app” doesn’t require AI, any ol code generator will do. AI is a really expensive way (in terms of gpus/tpus) to generate boilerplate, but as long as that cost is massively subsidized by investors, you may as well use it.
- kaffekaka 9mo agoI agree, we (or I) should have gotten out of this earlier. Shame on me, really. But LLM:s have lowered the threshold.
- never_inline 9mo agoThe only AI bloggers who don't have something to sell seems to be simonw, the flask guy, and this redis guy. Any other blog recommendations from HN?
- erk__ 9mo agotbh I think it is just a question about time before flask guy has something to sell: https://earendil.com/ https://earendil.com/
- never_inline 9mo agoI can't for the life of me tell what it's about.
