But there's a new skill blossoming there, right? That's what I'm noticing. The atrophying skill is one you don't need anymore. The new one - prompting, routing the output, spotting the hallucinations, managing singal/noise etc. - is now where you can add tremendous value.

To say nothing of being bold enough to run systems like that in the first place. I know some of engineers that are still folding their arms and refusing to engage with AI!

Everyone on social media seems to be HUNTING for signs that the powers that be are prepping for the end of the world.

If one or more are AWS, GCP, etc. that would make a lot of sense. Connecting to Claude via API via AWS Bedrock is really nice.

I'm tired, boss

It was fun being here today. Validated a lot of the live frustrations and quirks and discovery.

yeah, not surprising but not great

Yep, all our efforts are now focused on working around that. It's pretty neat!

I eventually got it to write pseudocode for reversing a linked list, but could never get it to output raw code.

Hat tip Claude Opus 5.5 for the jailbreak tips!

In a year or two, articles like this will either be artifacts from peak hype or evidence of the beginning of the singularity. Right?

I think this is key. Lawyers make a lot of money for being experts on the sidelines of disputes with values greatly in excess of their fees. They were never paid for their busy work.

Not to mention CONNECTIONS, of which LLMs will start with 0 and never acquire more.

Debatably the people who were getting 20 years of education will still be just as capable, and the 20 years of education was always a side effect of their capabilities, not the cause of them.

Yeah. I buy that there are some use cases where AI is a trap, or not as good as people.

I'm also chatting with my logs and triaging things like 10x faster in multiple open terminal sessions while I post on HN right now. So I'm also certain there are some use cases where not using AI will soon be professional negligence!

I see it in a slightly opposite way: even the good models are relatively cheap, and so I worry what we might miss by spending too much time playing with the Sonnets of the world when the Opuses are still objectively a bargain for the power they bring.

hell yeah it does, feels nice at the end of a long day
