Why not putting it earlier than that. Why not starting and running it's own LLC. I would think when that LLC is bigger than Google it might already be obvious.

They "can" write parts of it. But they can't rewire the weights. They are learned not coded.

Seems like this will be one of the areas that will improve with multi-agentic AI, where groups of agents can operate via consensus, check/test outputs, manage from a higher meta level, etc. Not that any of that would be "magic" but the advantages of expanding laterally to that approach seem fairly obvious when it comes to software development.

So in my eyes actually think it's probably more to do with reducing the cost of AI inference by another order of magnitude, at least when it comes to mass market tools. Existing basic code-generation tools from a single AI are already fairly expensive to run compute wise.

I get it, but have you reviewed high-quality sources or actually tried the product?

Association fallacy: “You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler.”

As someone who doesn't keep track of the influencer scene at the moment because I am way addicted to building...

You should totally give Claude Code a try. The biggest problem is that it is glaze-optimized, so have to work at getting it to not treat you like the biggest genius of all time. But when you manage to get in a good flow with it, and your project is very predictably searchable, results start to be quite helpful, even if just to unstuck yourself when you're in a rut.

It annoys me to experience the huge discrepancy between content on social media on AI versus actual enterprise use. AI is happening, it's absolutely becoming integral parts of many businesses including our own. But these guys are just doodling in MS Paint and they're flooding the channels.

Claude code is good though: no need to watch influencers for that. Or ever.

> Does AGI mean that it is free to operate and has no hardware / power constraints?

It is that and an autonomous system that can generate $100BN dollars in profits. (OpenAI and Microsoft's definition of AGI)

So maybe when we see a commercial airplane with no human pilots on board but an LLM piloting the plane with no intervention needed?

Would you board such a plane?

Let’s not move the goalposts. It would be bizarre if they got into a sociological study of impact on job roles.

4o is great for simple lookup and compute tasks; stuff like “scale this recipe to feed 12” or “what US wineries survived prohibition”.

o3 all the way for anything needing analysis or creative thought.
