In late 2026 the role of the developer will be more or less redundant in any traditional sense. There will just be builders. Most non-technical people now are quite capable of building software with the right tools. And they build in the sa

Yes, same here in the UK. I think imgur blocks VPN IPs so I suspect unless I register a private IP or something it's basically unusable.

We're so screwed man. It was only a few years ago I was debating AI risk with people and they were saying, "but obviously we're not stupid enough to give it access to the internet!!" And honestly, it wasn't always e

GPT-Live isn't a particularly intelligent model. It needs to handoff for reasoning and more complex tasks. You shouldn't expect it's responses to be as reliable as a frontier model. It will sometimes say odd things.

It's way easier. People don't need to read code anymore, nor will they have to care about building mental models about the system as this article suggests. The way to think about coding agents is that a good one should in theory l

I see a lot of these "don't use [insert product]" posts and it's normally always BS about how some exec at the company has the wrong political views or upset some community who was the product by taking it in a different

I don't think your wheel analogy holds. Wheels and rockets are fundamentally different technologies. > LLM technology itself has nothing to do with general (human-like) intelligence. Neural nets to the brain are like a plane to a b

I'm just going to be honest because lying won't help. Realistically you will almost certainly fail because almost all startups fail. There was a post on Indie Hackers many many years ago now where someone looked through all of the

If you have a magic wealth creation box you don't need labours or people to sell to. You just ask the magic box for the resources and you have them. The post-AGI world doesn't depend on people buying stuff.

Post AGI economy won't depend much on human demand. As you say there will be no job to strike from. And pissing off the government probably isn't going to go down well when they're you're only hope at feeding your family

If it's any consolation, I suspect people worrying about job loses and a loss of meaning will soon realise these are minor concerns. What people always struggle to model with AI are the step functions that occur in capabilities as new

Business loves them, actual engineers hate them. If you care about your career you should be one. If you care about engineering you might have other concerns.

I find mental burnout is largely a product of my ability to keep pace. I feel burnt out in spoken conversations because I find it very difficult to process sentences at speed. But I don't feel that at all when reading, writing or liste

Extremely weak bid, no? PayPal was worth 5x this a few years ago... Even pre-pandemic it was worth far more. Hell, just a year ago it was valued at ~$80 share. $60.50 per share would value them at just 11x their current earnings. I get PayP

Yeah, this is exactly the type of thing I'd support. The UK (where I live) emits something like 0.5% of global CO2, but we're one of the largest economies in the world. If we're going to do anything it seems we should really

That's a fair push back. For a specific technology to become viable, you often need progress in several individual technologies to occur. Some of these will be exponential and surprise us, but many will see slower progress. Either way,

Unpopular opinion, but we need to start using hard and soft power if we want to fix this problem. Europe cannot fix climate change on its own, and we already represent an increasingly small share of total emissions. The question now is how

There's always been an arms race in anti-bot technology and more sophisticated bots. I'm sure, they can add a jitter, but then you just change how you detect / weight detection.

If I took you back to 2020 and said in a little over 5 years there will basically be no human coders writing code anymore you'd almost certainly not believe me. And similar things can be said about many technologies in recent history –

I thought that too. The prompt is full of metaheuristics. I remember a couple of years back when people were saying how prompt engineering was a skill, and reading this prompt kinda took me back to that. Were I to guess, the reason the mode
