I ask @claudeai to do something. It says I cannot do it. I put on my motivational speaker hat: you can do it, just believe in yourself, je kan het. Claude does it and succeeds

With all research in RAG, Context Engineer, etc. I feel AI is going full circle back to the ancient AI concepts of Knowledge-representation: Semantic Web, Web Ontology Language, RDF, LISP constructs, and other stuff from the ice age.

Everyone thinks LLMs are getting smarter because theyโ€™re good at coding. I think they look smarter because most of our problems turned out to be far more repetitive and less nuanced than we thoughtโ€”and the model weights just capture that.

SaaS had near-zero marginal cost โ€” one more user was basically free. AI flips that. Every response burns real compute. Suddenly marginal cost is back, and itโ€™s per-request. Business models have to catch up: usage-based pricing, credit packs, bring-your-own-API-key.

LLMs are killing convenience products. AWS was too hard, so we paid Heroku, Vercel and DigitalOcean to make it easy. Now AI makes it easy for free. Wondering if any of them will survive long term.

Hot take: @coderabbitai et al will make unit-tests obsolete ... I trust Code Rabbit to find bugs in my code (when prompt correctly) more than unit-tests.

โ€œWrite less like [your least favorite corporate-bs-like author] and more like @jasonfriedโ€, I noticed that this prompt helped Gemini write more clearly and be less bullshitter.

I want to coin the term, LLMsplaining, a la Mansplaining, when in a chat with LLM it jumps into a condescending explanation of something without waiting for you to list your argument or clarify your prompt

What do you think, is it a violation of freedom of speech, or @OpenAI is right?

Wow, itโ€™s really cool that we can use AI to make fake CCTV footage of people committing crimes. Surely this has no downsides whatsoever.
i have the most liked video on sora 2 right now, i will be enjoying this short moment while it lasts cctv footage of sam stealing gpus at target for sora inference

One trivial yet relieving use case for ChatGPT et al is that I now get the information I want without the need to click and accept any cookies anymore

โ€œPlus, ChatGPT is polite and answers all questions, in contrast to StackOverflow moderatorsโ€โ€”@GergelyOrosz Indeed, the only thing I am not going to miss about crowdsourcing is the narrow minded moderators, whether on @Wikipedia or @StackOverflow

Something in the first minute will give away that itโ€™s AI generated, but otherwise how do we trust the content on @YouTube anymore youtu.be/ZHGCmR-3pl8?si=am9Tโ€ฆ
