They are an ads business my friend - it’s what generate the revenues to cross subsidies the freebies.

I want the boosters to address this head on - chime in?

The hardest part always has been and always will be - a simplified vision and strategy.

Everything else is a case of project decomposition, planning and scaling up - aka this is when having code written faster is great.

The SV approach of the past decade has been about experimentation, A/B testing and data science - it has its limits.

Correct people need to go slower but this doesn’t benefit frontier labs. Go go go max max max is what they want.

Yup we already knew this.

Google had many engineers working on a) failed projects b) people being paid to sit around.

There seems to be this strange belief on here that making something more accessible to everyone will always result in better outcomes. I don’t see this being true of software.

I’m very pro-tech. But nobody can point me to a product built by someone outside of the large tech firms, made by by llm’s that is a great value add to one’s life. Many of those were already created - they’re on the apple App Store for example.

I’m absolutely confident coding speed is irrelevant. A person who has a real vision + strategy and hand written code will beat the team with no vision, strategy and code blasted out by llm’s.

Sure llm’s could augment the former - but you’re missing the point!!
