This is where I suspect most value with LLMs are _currently_. Of all my friends the ones actually gaining measurable value from LLMs are not product developers but rather entrepreneurs in some service business that have automated processes

My hypothesis based on my discussions with non tech friends. If you can go from (prompt > website > deployment), such that you have a site on the web basically from behind one login. That's very valuable, I basically think (we) d

I still think it's correct. Execution is the part that matters. Almost everyone I know "came up with" some startup, ex. Uber before Uber existed, yet none of them did it. I have personally thought of maybe 2 startup ideas tha

Fun example I've had (some weeks ago), Agent completely dismissed the lack of strong consistency in our db system, this tiny bug would have caused a massive problem in the future. A bug that is not immediately obvious, no syntax error,

And if you start measuring amount of commits or PR's I'd bet money on there suddenly being smaller PR's and more commits. As soon as the metric is tied to peoples livelihood, it will be gamed. Funny anecdote: I had a large co

I see more of people using data and bad metrics to justify whatever they want to push rather than genuinely trying to improve conditions. I don't have any data to prove this :)

I agree with the sentiment that it might be net negative. But on the other hand I'm almost certain I wouldn't have pushed through and gotten a degree without the internet (3b1b and Khan Academy in particular). I don't know wh

You are correct, I simply mean we should keep in mind that they are also selling something. If you ask an AWS consultant what the best solution for your problem is, don't be surprised if the answer is AWS.

Not commenting on Reid specifically but on the other hand I don't understand why we should listen to the Tech CEO's / Founders about their opinions on the tech they are selling .

As someone who doesn't follow the specifics of how LLMs write, how can you be sure it's an LLM? I'm asking this genuinely because I've been using stuff like these separators before LLMS - now someone can just say "a

Both probably, I don't usually understand sarcasm in written text unless it's explicitly stated.

Also, I'd rather lead a team of humans that I can interact and talk with in real life instead of a team of bots.

This is a thought I've had about genAI. In case it all just comes from training data, "one shotting" a game would be more comparable to "git pull" and changing some assets than "generating code". I'm

Yes, but the other N% of the country still might vote for the government you didn't want.

Had a "project" course in university for CS. Implemented a working SaaS app for hosting ML models (before AI). Winner in our category had a powerpoint and a poster, no one even looked at the implementation. I learned something tha

I might have misunderstood as english is not my native language but the 100% doesn't sit right with me in the original sentence. In general I feel people downplay the effects of luck by a lot. My thinking is that the effort is everythi

At least they sent the application, that was effort. So it can't be 100% luck right?

From a technology perspective LLMs are absolutely bonkers, blows my mind it works as well as it does. From a programmer perspective, I'm starting to like it less and less. It's useful for sure, but doesn't really live up to t

I felt the same way, then I started with "I'll believe it when I see it". Now I'm a bit happier.

Probably cultural norms and location play a huge role here, I'm in a nordic country and feel like trust is generally high and people are reasonable. My bargaining power is not that high and managed to do this from tiny companies to glo

I always ask companies to remove that clause from contracts, I think all offers I've ever got had that clause, but also 100% removed it on request.

Would have been interested in SpaceX but I don't like that xAI is being baked in so I will skip this one.

I'm sure there is an effect when people talk on socials (linkedin, company intra etc) that they are marketing themselves. This is why I won't take any claims on socials that seriously. I'll believe it when I see it.
