If AI gets to be this sophisticated, what value would you bring to the table in these scenarios?

Seems like everyone is trying to get ahead of tool calling moving people "off platform" and creating differentiators around what tools are available "locally" to the models etc. This also takes the wind out of the sandb

None of these tools perform particularly well and all lack context to actually provide a meaningful review beyond what a linter would find, IMO. The SOTA isn't capable of using a code diff as a jumping off point. Also the system promp

I hate that this eventual e-waste wasn't standardized across vendors. It makes perfect sense for every phone to be a potential node, but the network is bifurcated (and possibly more bifurcations within Android due to Google's pri

Because whatever you use a LLM to build will inevitably need more features added or some kind of maintenance performed. And now you're spending $200+/mo on LLM subscriptions that give you a half-assed implementation that will eve

This is why you aren't seeing GenAI used more in law firms. Lawyers can be disbarred by erroneous hallucinations, so they're all extremely cautious about using them. Imagine if there was that kind of accountability in our profes

I meant more that what is stopping platforms like Meta from generating a small-ish amount of click fraud, under the guise of the fake user framework they initially setup for kickstarting engagement, to juice their revenue.

If they started out doing this, why wouldn't they continue to do this in the form of click fraud for advertising? Surely if they could create some minimum % of click fraud for each ad, they make more money and it would fly under the r

One point in favor of smaller/self-hosted LLMs: more consistent performance, and you control your upgrade cadence, not the model providers. I'd push everyone to self-host models (even if it's on a shared compute arrangement),

I don't think you understand how much power electric heaters use and how poorly solar converts to electric heat BTUs. A heat pump would be better.

We know what we're missing (a lot, we didn't implement the full spec). We don't know what weird edge cases the clients/servers will have, and I would bet you decent money a LLM won't either. That's why manu

Author here, we don't use generative AI for software development. We've been building since 2018, and our number one goal has always been ensuring our software remains maintainable.

My hotter take: we're in an economic death spiral. There isn't enough juice that can be squeezed short of mass wealth redistribution to reinvigorate the economy, and what is out there is locked up in stocks that don't trans

Most of the social media websites now hide content behind a login. It really sucks with so many restaurants that put their menu only on Facebook.

The only real visibility we have into the demand side (kinda) are spot prices, and those seem to be flat or decreasing for GPU instances. Surely if there was this crazy, exponential demand, spot prices would reflect that.

Did they raise prices because of increased or decreased demand? I can't help but wonder if things are overbuilt and being underutilized.
