I'd like to get the reasoning trace by stage in order to verify the AI work. I'd like the AI to explain me why it thinks I'm lacking knowledge on some specific topic or sub-topic.

To finally trust the AI I'd like for it to find (if the content has already some human created exercises) or generate some question/exercise that confirms their diagnosis.

You can't simplify learning that way, learning is expanding your mental horizon, by learning something you grow and can take bigger things.

The LLMs are a way to get quick feedback and getting it promotes quicker learning (if the feedback is good). Learning is difficult, sometimes I get blocked on something and before llms that could prevent me from learning some material, nowadays I have another tool to help me unblock and learn faster.

I think that could be called a shortcut, not in learning per se, but in the process of getting to learn.

Do you trust everything you read or how do you verify that the LLM is not hallucinating and giving you erroneus content?

SQL seems to be a great fit because of how easy is to verify the output.

Are you building something in this space? Or are you giving the resources directly to a llm chat interface along with some prompt?

I think SWEs will still be needed but to do higher level work. The thing is, there will be less SWEs per company.

Obviously I dont know ehat will happen, but my guess is that there will be more small companies highly specialized on specific niches.

If I switch to business mode, I think this is the best time to start a company because you have more leverage in your hands and also because the job market is and is going to be disrupted, at least for a while.

Agree, and for the delivery-riders side, you and some vlose people can start making the deliveries if possible.

I don't know what requires more skills: creating Bitcoin or avoiding getting identified after all these years.

In my opinion, conferences are mostly high noise low signal. My boss went to an "AI conference" last month and all the learnings he shared were things I was advocating already:

- use claude code

- evals are critical

- don't use AI everywhere

I think the conferences are more "work vacations" than work. Maybe they're useful if you think about them this way.
