How is AI involved in this? None of the features seem like they would need to use it at all. So presumably AI means it's just vibe coded? Also, the comparison chart is just dishonest. People didn't e-sign proposals before your pro

Not worthwhile feels a bit strong (a good FAQ is definitely worthwhile!), but I definitely agree that there is a big difference between any kind of art (writing, playing music, creation of images/videos/etc.) for its own sake and

So many! I manage a fund that buys small e-comm brands, and at this point the whole thing runs on a combination of AI and tools created with AI. My favorite is one that scrapes my Alibaba/WeChat/WhatsApp/email supplier convos

For the most part if you give it sample photos that have sufficient coverage of different angles, it's very good at faithfully reconstructing the product from whatever angle you choose. The one exception I've encountered is baby m

This is definitely the most interesting question in a ton of AI applications. I think folks should be really be spending a lot of time on figuring out how to deterministically check AI outputs in a way that's reliable in order to reduc

Two of them: 1. ChatGPT 3.5 wrote me a script to pull some data out of Shopify and write it to a Google Sheet. Nothing remotely impressive by today's standards, but I had just commanded a computer to write code in plain English and it

Oh yeah, to be clear I fully agree with everything you've said. My core argument is that there will be sufficient economic productivity for everyone to live incredibly well. Whether or not that happens depends entirely on the people wh

Sure, but the question is at what layer of abstraction do you have to prompt the AI? You used to have to prompt the AI by starting to write the actual line of code you want, which it could autocomplete. Then you had to prompt it to write si

Even if we start building a lot more stuff, you still don't need those construction workers. You have a GC to manage the whole project, aided by an AI who's handling scheduling/operations/logistics. You have a detailed p

The problem with the studies is that they're cases in which specific groups within the broader economy lost jobs. Those aren't really comparable to the (theoretical) path of job displacement of AI for a couple of reasons: 1. Those

My feeling is it's not as bad of a metric as people think. Companies don't fully know the best way to use AI and things are changing rapidly, so you want people using a lot of tokens even on stuff that seems maybe kind of dumb on

Great stuff. My favorite genre of writing about AI is seeing how it can be practically applied to non-tech jobs/businesses. Wish we had more of this. I'm curious about the 60% automation of financial/forensic analysis - what&

100% agree with this. I think takes like OP's would be much more interesting if they staked out a position in the future. I think it's pretty uncontroversial to say that someone with a great deal of technical expertise is going to

I think the problem with this logic is it's based on the capabilities of LLMs today and really fails to address the prospect that they will continue to improve. I used to be a PM and am technically literate enough but can only very min

If we assume that there will be an AI that is perfect in terms of ability to find vulnerabilities, cheap to run and widely available to everyone, then anyone can run it on any piece of software before deploying it. All vulnerabilities get f

Nope, wrong again - SOTA LLMs get the car wash thing right. If you're going to have strong opinions on a topic, it would behoove you to keep up with it.

I'm not. I understand the difference and also that through improvements to the core models as well as harnesses, LLMs are able to handle an increasing share of tasks. I also understand that these things will continue to improve until A

It seems likely to me that doctors whose job is almost or entirely about making diagnoses and prescribing treatments won't be able to keep up in the long run, where those who are more patient facing will still be around even after AI i

Even if we take this to be true, I'm not sure that it really matters? It's comparing two resumes with the same information and picking one of the two. That's obviously a situation that would never occur in actual hiring. This
