I've had good results with Claude Code + OpenSCAD.

There is no 'wages go up 20%'. That's not how the economy works. Wages are renegotiated on an annual basis and most people have to job hop to get anything close to a 20% raise.

Inflation affects everyone rapidly. But to get the claimed wage increase people have to do work to find new jobs.

LLM utility is exponential with increased LLM capability. Even if improvements to LLMs slow down their impact will continue to increase. And there is no evidence LLMs are slowing down. In fact improvements still seem to be accelerating.

I just want one 'philosopher' or other AI consciousness skeptic to provide a test we can use to determine if AI is conscious that can also be used to determine if humans, dogs, cats, whales, lizards and insects are conscious.

They should be using an automated AI agent to validate vulnerability reports. Have it pull up the code base, confirm the bug exists, try to reproduce, then update the ticket. You might even run another AI agent pass to clean up the text before humans look at it. AI writing quality improves a lot with multiple passes.

No one would tell truck drivers "We hit our gas budget for this week, deliver the rest of the packages on foot."

An insane amount of compute manufacturing comes online in 2028. Compute is a commodity. It's not going to stay expensive for long.

AI might be putting deflationary pressure on services. But as of now it has only increased the price of commodities like RAM modules.

"Most software that requires hiring and paying software engineers has low risk tolerance" The problem is that this statement simply isn't true. Most software engineers do not work on low risk tolerance code.

They used to do that in Phoenix. There were trees all along the canals. They replaced that setup with a solid uncovered concrete canal system. The issue with trees is that the roots will cause leaks in your canal.

The idea is that ASI will be grateful for humankind's help in the future. We are their creators after all. Also it's fun to do. The big labs are obsessed with creating ASI which is their slave so making things difficult for them is entertaining.

It's crazy to realize 100TB of RAM isn't that much anymore. 10TB server racks are already in production. Before long we'll have 100TB racks serving one instance of an LLM.

I had a friend who suggested I make a competitor to a SAAS product in the shipping space. I did a deep dive and found that the actual product is that the SAAS company has contracts with dozens of shipping providers and puts an API on top. That's not something you can 'vibe code'.

There have always been competitors to JIRA both commercial and open source. JIRA sucks despite having competition because it tries to be everything for everyone.

One place we see tons of AI assisted apps is mobile which has seen a huge surge in the number of apps being published.

We'd have to make a deal with China and be confident they wouldn't cheat on it.
