> we can't actually verify what these models are capable of or if they're being truthful

Do you mean they lie because of bad training data? Or because of ill intent? How can an LLM have intent if it’s a stateless feedforward model?

Once critical mass of programmers relies on LLMs, original code creation and usage will decline, as LLMs will not provide these as suggestions. So entering the “dark ages of programming” will solve for that, as you won’t need to retrain LLMs.

Reminds me how Quake3 shipped with a VM to compile/run the C game code.

About 6 months ago posted a Show HN for WhenToExchange http://whentoexchange.com it shows currency exchange rates and keeps track of large price moves that make it favourable to exchange one currency for another.

Didn't receive much feedback, but still use it personally when shopping online and booking travel.

This sounds really familiar.

In my experience the CEO/Founder can be classified as either of two types:

1) Great sales guy but has no deep concept of the technology his product is based on and other related aspects such as technical debt. Can be really hard to explain why something is more complicated than it looks to him, etc.

2) Great technical guy who can't sell. If you're not doing something conceptually new it can be difficult to acquire customers if your selling is weak.

I wonder if any one has encountered the unicorn CEO/Founder who's great at both of these things?
