The open models are not that far behind though. I will spend my last penny on hardware long before I tolerate #1.

I think what it really means is that the public interest means nothing and companies will profit by any means necessary.

Yep, and all these years later, we have lost so much. It may seem like such a small thing, but losing real GMs in WoW makes me really sad.

While this may be true Opus 5.5 still sucks at a ton of things that make being a software engineer a software engineer.

Poetic considering the locale. But ya, modern tech is pretty gross, and I yearn for the open models.

The dichotomy of our current age. On one hand, all knowing super thinking machines are just around the corner. Meanwhile, this. Almost seems like a feature and not a bug.

Highly recommend the rest of the sprawl books. Honestly, even his more recent works have been bomb. Dude is prescient, to say the very least.

A reply quite some time later, but you are definitely on point, I rescind my previous statement. At least, I do think you are correct about always needing software or having problems to solve in it. Still undecided on the creativity stuff.

The software part is quickly being solved but I honestly believe the more creative aspects will still see large demand. LLMs have a certain stink to their UI, being creative is a hard skill, which AI has yet to master.

Sounds similar to Sam’s problem.

Well I cannot argue with that logic!

This sentiment was really common circa 2005, or at least general anti-China rhetoric, where I lived in the Tri-state. Funnily enough, I have never felt more a cog, living here in the U.S., than I do right now. Maybe you are right, but my guess is wherever you live, yours is a bit of a glass house as well.

I think for autodidacts this will hold true and it will be a boon. For those who want an easy way out though it will almost certainly become a mire. Great points, interested to see how it plays out.

Preach! I am so tired of Anthropic’s safety team being the arbiters of what is right and wrong. If you so much as hint at impropriety you can have future sessions flagged ad infinitum when it comes to specific topics.
