I have been following Grove.io pretty closely. This is a subject that is fairly interesting to me and compelled me to look at some of the different open source options[0], as they do exist for teams that are able to run their own chat. I decided to write my own chat client with a fellow HNer called Subway[1], since I could not find a good open source web client that persisted a connection while a user was offline. After I started I found another large project that more or less accomplishes the same thing called Alice[2] written in Perl. Both these clients have more or less the same goal to persist your connection while you are offline. For those interested in a paid alternative to grove there is also IRCCloud[3] which accomplishes the same thing.

At the same time in no part of his post is any code snippet or anything to latch on to of "the model performed poorly here when it should have done this" - this style of criticism seems to be a pattern of most of these "the LLMs will never work" style posts on blogs and twitter.
They obviously can perform better than autocomplete and in my own day to day development build out huge portions of a codebase that I would have expected a junior or midlevel engineer to perform at.
How are we really supposed to grasp their actual capabilities when no one will actually cite specifically what mistakes they are making.
