> breathing life into these things that 3 years ago were laughable science fiction

LLMs were not fiction three years ago. Bidirectional text encoders are over a decade old.

Coding agents is what I’m talking about, they are also an old idea, everything is an old idea, what is new and a major step change is the realized capability of them in December 2025.

  • You are the first person I've ever heard call Dec 2025 a "major step change" moment in AI. And I've been following this space since BERT.
