I think Altman said in Lex F. podcast that he works 8 hours, 4 first one being the most productive ones and he doesn't believe CEO claiming they work 16 hours a day. Weird contrast to what described in the article. This confirms my the

What I really wanted to know if OpenAI(and other labs for that matter) actually use their own products and not just casually but make LLM a core of how they operate. For example: using LLM for coding in prod, training/fine-tuning inter

Have you read through all 15K loc, What is your feeling about maintainability of it? Also as I understand one the main problem with LLM right now is trying to apply some surgical changes to large enough code base or adding some extra functi

I could argue that a company that would do that could be in a long run out-competed by a company that would do layoffs and push their employees for higher productivity by utilizing AI.

Every big tech company in the US has their version of PIP, to protect them from potential law suits as I understand, that lead to a situation that low performers might occupy their positions for months and years.

Your problem statement is missing "national security" angle. As I understand the current administration sees US de-industrialization as a threat to it and tariffs as a soution.

Indeed, I surprised to see that is has been in top-10 on HN for today. I thought everyone already realized that all of those examples like "create a flappy bird game" are not realistic and do not reflect the actual usefulness of t

> We don’t want the US’ stuff anymore I wonder why this sentiment is not reflected in stock prices. It seems like major defense companies are close to ATH and keep growing. Not trying to argue, just wonder what is the reason for it.

That's actually a good point. I believe that BigTech these days look for conformists, not superstar SWEs. If you agree to waste your time on preparation to meaningless LeetCode style interview then you are one of them and ready to be a

Yep, unfortunately those local models are noticeably worse. Also models are getting bigger, so even if a local basement rig for a higher quality model is possible right now, that might not be so in the future. Also Zuck and others might st
