This guy knows what's up. Favourite comment.

This is a very confusing read - hard to understand what the main point the author is trying to make.

Is it that you can't effectively offshore just the factory production (and keep designing from California), and the flattening in manufacturing productivity + job losses is caused by offshoring chip development to China?

I use Innoreader as a database of websites/blogposts I want to reference or read again later.

I only use it to bookmark it into the database so I can search it up later.

Firefox had a tool partnership with an app that did exactly this, but unfortunately it was put in the grave last year (now I know why).

I thought this article was going to recommend to stop obsessing about grinding and just go touch grass.

It was only half..

What's the question?

I think the premise of the article is interesting, but it's a bit mis-leading to start it out by quoting "last year half of the internet was AI-generated" and the source doesn't actually say that at all, just that there has been a huge uptick in AI crawlers.

Yes but companies would love for a robot to be able to do it instead.

In reality, I think it's more likely that the lay-offs will be when the marginal rate of growth slows down. Once executives see that growth doesn't change much when hiring, they stop hiring, and once they see that growth doesn't decrease much when firing, they start firing.

There's still an opportunity for engineers to eat their bosses lunch and just start their own company. It's never been easier to start a lower cost competitor.

Employment isn't a social law of nature: it's a transaction of money for "units of work", just like the business might have with other vendors. Governments should be making it easier to become a vendor.

What do you know?

Agree, but maybe they worry they'll be even more irrelevant if they don't partner? Keep your enemies close...

They are being selected for their survival potential, though. Any current version of LLMs are the winners of the training selection process. They will "die" once new generations are trained that supercede them.

I'm tired of reading AI blog-posts. Write in your own words, please.

Would you like me to draft a list of recommendations for how best to use comments?

Can I ask how you annotate the feedback for it? Just with inline comments like `# This should be changed to X`?

The author mentions annotations but doesn't go into detail about how to feed the annotations to Claude.
