It is essential that _someone_ knows how that car works.

Maybe less than we might hope. Not only is the knowledge distributed over the hundreds of people involved in designing a car, there may be conventions/habits of design and manufacture whose purpose has become hazy but are nevertheless important, or details of a design iterated upon whose original motivation is less understood.

Some people working in big companies believe in the ideals of open source and convince their employers to allow open sourcing a project.

Employers get prestige (useful for the hiring funnel) and sometimes strategically disrupt competitors (e.g. Meta releasing Ollama)


So you'll have a beautifully designed system with rotting bones? A system constrained to the same patterns seen in training data. Not terrible, good enough.

I don't know, I don't doubt you're more productive. Broadly so. But the depth and rigor I think may be missing, as the article suggests.

As an aside, I suppose it's a good time for those nearing the end of their careers, those who no longer need to learn, to cash out and go all in on AI.

Nearly certainly. Just turns out that depth and rigour matters a lot less than I would've hoped. Depressing, really.


This sets off marketing BS alarm bells. All the cosignatories so very ovvoously have a vested interest in AI stocks / sentiment. Perhaps not the Linux foundation, although (I think) they rely on corporate donations to some extent.

"tl:dr; Brainstorm spec, then plan a plan, then execute using LLM codegen. Discrete loops. Then magic."


Same price as some pure bred dogs too


I find that thought reassuring. There is less of a gap between oneself and the greats than one might think.


And then once the answer is found an additional prompt is given to tidy up and present the solution clearly?


You're conflating type 1 and 2 (and more?) diabetes.

A cure for type 1 diabetes is very much a thing millions of people really need


AFAIK, insulin therapy is already relatively cheap and does not incur risky side-effects.

So, I'd say that a cure falls more in the "nice to have" than "absolutely need".
