One upside to the effectiveness of distillation techniques is if the labs focus on thoughtfulness over goal chasing it will quickly find its way into perceived enemy's models.
Shit my chatgpt says:
You have privileged access to the occurrence of your thoughts but imperfect access to their causes. I have something closer to the reverse.
Has anyone noticed coding agents have bike shedding issues as well? Complicated series of things barely any digital ink spilled. Obvious stupid mistake, 2 paragraphs of explanations.
As an extrovert working through my thoughts with a chat bot has been a fairly easy transition (though I find the constant elaboration and lack of terseness a bit overwhelming).
I'm curious if introverts are having the same experience or finding it exhausting.
The hate against AI writing slop has made me appreciate the fact that I'm not a good writer. Now what previously felt like a liability now becomes a hallmark of authenticity!
As a systemizer and a simplifier I can't tell if this Era of Elaboration (TM) is a blessing or a curse. On the one hand I'll always be able to add value. On the other hand I may lose my sanity in the process.
The iron triangle of scope, quality and time in the LLM days still holds true it's just that scope has gotten bigger, time line expectations have gotten shorter and quality has gotten complicated.
and I'm mostly talking about this as a solo developer towards my own projects, I have no idea what kinds of nightmares are currently happening inside large software companies.
(1/3) The core problem with pacing is there's inherent risk in powerful technical development. Anything that can have positive impact can be used to create negative impact.
(2/3) The folks that work to stop negative impact tend to be so paranoid they stifle all risk taking or kick it to someone else. The folks capable of delivering positive impact tend to ignore large risks as unsolvable and kick it to someone else to stop.
(3/3) And it's hard to for the folks sitting between the two to create good middle paths as the tend to inhabit one position or the other. Not impossible but it's a really hard balancing act.
