  • Really what I see happening is that projects that would take two months now take six weeks, but also end up more polished and feature complete than they would have otherwise.

    Which is not at all what we’re in reality. Stuff is actively getting worse when using AI code heavily (take GitHub for example), and companies who use AI for code aren’t producing any productivity gains, or increases profits.

    There is no sign of benefit on either side of the equation.





  • The entire LLM industry is falling apart.

    They’re not realizing the growth in compute they promised

    They’re not realizing the results they promised (duh)

    Almost every company that tries to use LLMs is failing to successfully implement it, because it doesn’t work.

    Nobody is willing to pay what it actually costs, all current use is heavily subsidized so they’re burning money fast

    Investors are finally digging their heads out of their senses and asking what that strong smell of burning cash is.

    Energy costs are rising, making LLMs even more insanely expensive.

    The only thing they’ve still got going for is that most so-called tech journalism is fucking awful and will just parrot LLM press releases without using their brain.
