We’re not even on the agency curve. It’s a different curve.

Look, I’m using knowledge and agency a little loosely. LLMs can do more than just regurgitate knowledge; even if you grant them reasoning, though, it still doesn’t feel like humanity emerges from LLM scaleup. They have no curiosity, and don’t ask their own questions.

In general, I see LLMs to be used in two broad categories: data processing, which is more of a worker use-cases, where the latency isn't the biggest issue but rather quality, and in user-interactions, where latency is a big factor. I think for the faster case a faster fallback is necessary. Or you escalate upwards, you first rely on a smaller more ... See more

There has never been a better time to learn to code — the learning curve is being shaved down by these new LLM-based tools, and the amount of value people with programming literacy can produce is going up by an order of magnitude.

People who know both coding and LLMs will be a whole lot more attractive to hire to build software than people who just ... See more
