Well yeah companies need a healthy mix of experienced and young employees and what they’re trying to save in expenses now will hit them straight back in their face a few years down the line. But CEOs don’t get paid to think about the future, the shareholders want their revenue right now. It’s stupid and it won’t change soon enough.

For training, I think you’re mistaken about how this works nowadays. Training doesn’t happen just from ingesting human written text anymore. For stuff like programming the models are trained by reinforcement learning with difficult tasks. This allows for much more targeted tuning without the need for a huge corpus of pre-written data.

Yeah of course it’s not impossible and I think we should keep developing personal coding skills because we need those to have proper judgement about what the clanker spat out. It’s just my 2c on the topic.

Especially for coding, AI agents are a game changer. They allow you to express your ideas more thoroughly and iterate on a design more quickly, allowing you to create a more sophisticated end product. I still don’t like generative AI for art assets but that’s a separate discussion to be had. Programming just gets better with an agent.

Even if it was true that people didn’t spend on art anymore, which it isn’t, that’s still an appeal to hipocrisy. You may not have enough leftover money to spend on unique art pieces, which I consider to be a luxury, but you can still critique the emergence of generative, generic art.

Yeah it was available in the beta branch already

It’s just a super weird article. It goes into extreme detail randomly, mentioning specific function names and memory mechanisms, but doesn’t explain any of it.

This happens when an LLM reads a bunch of pages with stuff it doesn’t have much internal knowledge about, and then tries to summarize that into an article.
