I’ve found that LLMs will frequently do extremely silly things that no person would do to make typescript code pass the typechecker.

I think this might also impact how usage is calculated for subscription plans as well, not just overages (using tokens instead of messages for calculating usage). But the message from OpenAI seems vague.

For every sign up to that gambling site from their affiliate link they make a few bucks (sometimes many few bucks).

I have seen very conflicting data on this. You shouldn’t state it so confidently.

It has had some really bad reliability issues recently. In terms of uptime, it has been a poor product.

If a major model provider were to just halt progress on developing new and improved models, the open weight alternatives would catch up in a couple years. They would have a period of great margin, followed by possibly zero margin as enterpr

Most businesses do not have the capacity to use LLMs to produce software. If you have an idea that you can create into real high quality software that there is a demand for, then you should absolutely do it.

I don't think the 2nd point will make a huge impact on software sales. Who is vibe coding? Software developers or business types? They aren't going to vibe code a CRM, or their own bespoke version of Excel, or their own Datadog AP

Most of my nontechnical friends are either AI neutral, or have a negative AI sentiment. I don’t actually know anybody nontechnical that is enthusiastic about AI.

Technical people (which is by far the minority of people out there) building personal apps to scratch an itch is one thing. But based on the hype (100x productivity!), there should be a deluge of high quality mobile apps, Saas offerings, et

It really just depends on if the hardware is "good enough" for whatever its purpose is. If the hardware today can locally run whatever models for your security cameras, it's likely they will still be "good enough" i

It might just be static site hosting for businesses that want a real website, and not just a Facebook page. Static site hosting is so simple, I believe a 12 year old could do it.

I find LLMs get much more prone to making mistakes or missing references when the size or complexity of the code increases. I have a “vibe coded” application that is just for personal use, and I’ll usually create a fresh prompt after a larg

Many companies really got bloated during COVID. From what I can see online, Meta doubled their number of employees between 2019 and 2022. How long does it take to correct from that amount of hiring?

From my personal experience, they have gotten better, but they haven’t unlocked any new capabilities. They’ve just improved at what I was already using them for. At the end of the day they still produce code that I need to manually review a

Incumbents love regulation, because they are much better positioned to comply with it than any upstarts or new challengers. So, when a company like Anthropic gets a decent marketshare, their priority shifts to lobbying for regulation to lim

Equity is negotiable just like salary, and if supply of developer labor increases with the same or less demand, you'll get less equity just like you will get less salary.

How can you trade on projected jobs numbers? The stock market seems detached from macroeconomics anyway.

I think the point is that these tech leaders can be saying "AI" to appeal to their board/shareholders, but the truth is more mundane typical reasons for layoffs (bad economy, overhiring, offshoring, bad debt, etc).

Nobody can know they will need to lay off 10% multiple years from now. So many things can change between now and then. For all Block knows, AI for coding kind of plateaus where it is now and there is a huge boom in software engineer hiring

Yea, if the new stuff coming out was great then people would be begging for more.

I think people are now less inclined to use an em dash, because they don’t want to be mistaken for an LLM.

But they are marketing their AI as replacing all software engineers. Their CEO can’t stop saying it. According to them the cost of producing software is now just the cost of tokens to generate it. They have special knowledge to leverage AI

Counterpoint, why do current state of the art generative AI companies, with the ability to use models that the public can't even access, and the ability to burn tokens at cost, still pay for very expensive Saas software?

Open AI have a credit on the paper because it is marketing.

What is the lifetime value of an individual pretraining run, and what is the cost to do it? Whether it is a net positive seems to still be an open question.

It does seem like things are moving very quickly even deeper than what you are saying. Less than a year ago langchain, model fine tuning and RAG were the cutting edge and the “thing to do”. Now because of models improving, context sizes get

This is very interesting to me. I’ve been working on a side project with interactive Python tutorials in the browser, and I’ve been somewhat discouraged recently by how LLMs have been changing the landscape. It seems SEO for this sort of th

Are we sure LLM agents aren't the cause of these increasing outages?
