To be clear, I was talking about Netflix, not Disney+. That's a completely different company with a different model and conflating the two is your mistake, not mine.

I guess my question is, are all these startups going to Detroit because of the positive vibes, or are they actually getting compelling direct subsidies / credits / etc from the government? (Not that there is anything wrong with gi

There is and remains a desire to explain exactly how it is that humans are different than other animals. Language or the language faculty has been touted by some as this thing.

It's not a question of communication, it's a question of language.

To be clear - as of today, many researchers would agree that language is still a uniquely human phenomenon. They discuss this pretty explicitly in the article linked, how it is important to draw a distinction between language and communicat

While this is technically possible, it is not remotely practical and the downside risk of pushing out a borked model is much higher than the upside. Training the model is expensive (obviously), but even if you are only training it slightly,

Do people generally really believe that GenAI would 10x programmer productivity? I find that surprising, that's not what I've read here on HN, by-and-large. 20-30% seems much more like what people are actually experiencing today.

To be fair, this is just a blog post, it's not a peer-reviewed scientific paper. You don't really _need_ to do anything.

Really? So in 2024, folks are only deploying services that have excellent security, and not anything else? This seems like a high bar to clear but I'm curious to learn.

Very cool work. Note that this was completed using a vanilla ChatGPT-4o model, all the magic dust is prompting, the dataflow between stages (info gathering, self-reflection, task inference, skill curation, action planning), and some tooling
