This is my secret fear was scrolling to see any mention of this.

It’s really hard to believe that all the benefit of the sun can be achieved in a single pill.

Curious if you have a minute to try to put more words to what made him amazing? I've got my ideas but curious to hear yours before I bias you.

I believe Jensen Huang said Doom was the game that launched NVIDIA?

So NeXT -> Doom -> Nvidia -> AI

I'd say the bitter lesson is that OpenAI will just absorb all of the services of 1000 companies in one ChatGPT app.

Short term the argument that 'piracy exists yet doesn't affect steam sales' holds true.

Long term when someone makes emulating Switch 2 on your Steam Deck a 1-click install I'm not so sure.

Same. I let the LLM work inside a framework that I made.

Of course I only arrived at the framework after trial and error with an LLM showed me the shape of the problem and the framework presented itself to me.

I think as we move forward the answer to the question ‘is it critical?’ will just move to support vibe coding everything.

ha well what happens philosophically when bots pass the turing test and no one can actually tell the difference in their behavior vs human?

Had this thought this morning after seeing DHH announcing that Basecamp isn't writing code by hand anymore and they're using AI to write Rust for Hey's backend.

To me they're failing to see the even bigger picture that maybe even Hey itself is outdated in the Ai era and not only is its Ruby framework antiquated... the whole Hey service is too.

Lately on my hobby projects I've been lazily committing work with the prompt 'add the relevant files to git and commit with a message that explains why' - only because I remember 15 years ago reading an HN comment from someone complaining that too many commit messages answer 'what' but not 'why' haha

So far I haven't had a reason to go back through commits to isolate any issues but if I do hoping the 'why' messages may come in handy for my LLM lol

My biggest issue with halting AI progress right now is we are in a dangerous place where AI is only just good enough to be dangerous. So I see an argument to continue development until its competent to depend on.
