Man the redbull is oozing off this post, talk about sipping rocket fuel.

I mean a tool is a tool, nothing wrong with that - but most of the resistence stems from AI being shoved down our throats at warp speed. Its already everywhere and I can't opt out, that stinks.

As for the skepticism in terms of adoption and usefulness, its mainly a question of whether or not it will continue improving - there's no way to no what lies ahead, but if it came to a grinding halt today well then the high water mark just isn't all that impressive.

This is the point that matters, and I don't think everyone is on the same page that LLMs are essentially over glorified data laundering.

The industry would get just as much "value" if we declared a jubilee and wiped out all licenses and allowed unlimited plagiarism (Looking at Zuckerburg and his 10 TB of pirated data). In fact, if AI owners published their training data sets with a capable search engine, I would bet money of it out performing LLMs in most cases. Why waste all that man power reinventing Netflix again? Just copy paste the code and give everyone their time back, sheesh.

> Kids today don’t just use agents; they use asynchronous agents. They wake up, free-associate 13 different things for their LLMs to work on, make coffee, fill out a TPS report, drive to the Mars Cheese Castle, and then check their notifications. They’ve got 13 PRs to review. Three get tossed and re-prompted. Five of them get the same feedback a junior dev gets. And five get merged.

I'm in a role that is behind the times, using a bespoke in-house framework that is immune to the benefits of LLMs, so I don't get to see what you see - so as a skeptic, I'm not convinced this isn't just the illusion of speed. I have not seen convincing results, show me the amazing things being made by AI (AI tooling itself does not count) - but yes, maybe that's because its all siloed into walled gardens.

> But something real is happening. My smartest friends are blowing it off. Maybe I persuade you. Probably I don’t. But we need to be done making space for bad arguments.

Yeah all the arguments have been made, good and bad, we're all waiting to see how it plays out. But I'd rather take the side of being a skeptic - if I'm right then I'm in the right place. If I'm wrong, that's cool too, I don't mind playing catch-up. But fully embracing the hype is, IMO, tantamount to putting all your eggs in one basket, seems like a needless risk but if that's worth it to you to get ahead then by all means, slurp up the hype.
