Overall don't disagree with the post too much, but I don't like the example given of speaking to the AI "Charlie".

I work with AI on a daily basis, and frankly I don't think I'll EVER want to just prompt the LLM to do things like craft and send an email autonomously or draft a blog post. Andrej Karpathy's recent talk on programming discussed the generation -> verification loop. For any serious work, you don't want to just rely on AI to generate lots of content (textual, email, etc) without verifying what the AI has done. Maybe in a few decades when we've reached HAL 9000 levels of intelligence and the accuracy is 99.999%, but even then there is some something in me (perhaps neuroticism) where I ALWAYS went to check the content of the email before it is sent. For blog posting, I just want my natural voice to shine, so I would never use an LLM to wholesale write a blog post for me.

But maybe that's just me.

Personally love this article. Aligns really well with my core philosophy of simplicity. We try to ship MVPs quickly, so we steer clear of these JavaScript frameworks. Rails to the moon!

I get that I'm supposed to hate Brendan Eich, but why does no one talk about Brave? The only criticism I hear is the crypto stuff, but you can just shut it off and the experience is great.

Lmao I love this. Although anyone else think it's a bit premature? Also is Andrew Garfield supposed to be Altman? Loved him in The Social Network, but don't think he can sell Altman's quirks.

Interesting article, like the overall tone. Agree that AI is not going to be the end of us, nor will it bring about paradise on Earth.

Only thing I don't like is the comment that Sam Altman was one of the "inventors" of ChatGPT. Don't want to downplay his role, but he is not an engineer or researcher. His skills lie primarily in his network and communication skills. He helped secure the funding, but I wouldn't call him an inventor.

Interesting. The novelty here seems to be in the method of interacting with the LLM vs. innovating at the level of the AI workflow. My guess is each email client is essentially just given a custom prompt? Like others are saying, perhaps this can be popular with legacy business, where people don't want to go to a chat window?

Fascinating, never thought to try something like this. Gotta wonder what the benefits are here, one has to assume Apple's devs are totally inept.

Love this. This is a philosophy that I have been trying to espouse for a while now. Interesting that he said MVPs are too complicated, I love building quick apps in Rails. Might have to give Sinatra a try to see what he sees in it.

I vacillate between "We're going to get the negative effects of social media on steroids" and "We're all going to learn to just not trust what we see on the internet without extensive verification, and ultimately we'll be fine."

Kind of interesting, wish I got more about what the app is though? I vaguely understand it to be a productivity app for students?
