Knowing that Claude is doing the heavy lifting, why would I want to read your blog vs asking Claude?

Yes, people will start asking "when must we kill them?"

Just wait until everyone you'd want to talk to deploys their own adversarial agents!

I wish all LLM-written marketing copy had disclaimers so I knew never to waste my time reading it.

What if we could define what a computer could do via some symbolic notation? Perhaps program it in some kind of language?

With AI agents PMs will be able to run multiple meetings at the same time. A crucial mistake people make with AI is that assuming the others side won't have the same tools for time wasting.

I'll give this credit for being good FOMO content marketing.

Imagine getting fired in such high definition.

Well, it won't, but it's fun to fantasize about! Plus, who cares about homeless people now when we're comparing them to potentially trillions of future humans.

how does that solve anything now?

Is the LLM making these inferences from the aether?

You can take an augmented approach, a sort of capability fusion, or you can spam regenerate until it works.

I'm of the augmentation not automation camp. With AI you can very suddenly find you've 100x'd yourself up shit's creek legally.

Eh, I think the total volume of litigation will increase. AI will let laypeople be stupid faster and lawyers be smart faster.

I'd be pissed if my washer or dryer or furnace had the same defect rate as any of the software I used. Software "engineering" has an amazing tolerance for oopsies.

It's that extra 20%. Everybody right now can do the hardware store and rewire their house for cheaper than an electrician, yet they'll still hire one to do it. That or maybe everyone will just except things being slightly more con

Hmm, really makes you optimistic...

I think if you treat AI like lossy compression it goes a long way towards using it effectively.

A lot of AI discussion suffers from an is/ought problem where people think you're attacking their vision of Iain Bank's the Culture while they refuse to see what's in front of their face, IMO.

So true. No-code tools splatter your code, your business logic, across a thousand windows and forms.

Hey, remember to turn off the Lathe of Heaven before manifesting that.

At least I can rest assured the billionaires would probably kill each other in a mad scramble to be king of the ashes.

If using LLMs for writing, you should provide your prompts up front so we can see your actual thinking, and then ignore the rest of the content. Or better yet, synthesize those prompts in a writing style that we like more!

Unfortunately, they were right. Smartphones are a menace, especially in terms of traffic violence.

It's useful, but the promise of every AI company is very explicitly that they will burn the seed corn and choke off the pipeline that created those "very talented" developers who reviewed it!

by hooverd 1y ago
why not use AI to summarize the code for you?

Don't think of it from someone who had to learn. Think of it from someone who has never had the experience the friction of learning at all.
