That seems quite a hard line to define. Nothing is allowed to contribute to improving itself in any way? Or just that the gains don't have increasing returns? Quoting @Polymarket JUST IN: “Godfather of AI” Yoshua Bengio declares recursive self-improvement should be illegal. Related

github actions in my oss repos suddenly stopped running today i had opus 4.8 look into it, it spent ~$10 worth of tokens and insisted that either i haven't paid my bills or there's a github outage switched to grok 4.5 and just 3 minutes in with $1.2 worth of tokens, it found there's a surge of CI runs in my firstmate repos starving all the allowed runners across my account, cancelled a bunch of them, and everything's back on track this is just an anecdotal example but i've had many positive experiences like this. people ask me why i default to grok and this is why Related

This reminds me of when Palantir released AIP. If you remember, there were lots of questions about Palantir growth in 2023 or thereabouts. They launched AIP and allowed LLMs to run over their ontologies. It lit a fire in their business and it’s been a rocket ship ever since. This is a similar product evolution. We have started to use it at 8090 and it’s pretty awesome.

the thinking that "everyone will just vibe code their own software" was born from within a bubble what's happening to software development right now has happened many, many times before to other things. you just need to look web 2.0 allowed everyone to write blogs. did everyone write blogs? instagram allowed everyone to share beautiful photos. did everyone share beautiful photos? tiktok allowed everyone to make short videos. did everyone make short videos? now vibe coding allows everyone to build software, and you think everyone will start building software? this time around, people are just… Related
Co-founder and CEO of 37signals, makers of Basecamp and HEY; co-author of Rework, Remote and It Does Not Have to Be Crazy at Work.
A really lovely GRID VIEW is coming to Basecamp 5 shortly. We had a grid view in 4, but it wasn't any good and I didn't want to drag it into 5. Had we done that, we'd have called it done and never revisited. By intentionally leaving it out, we allowed pressure to build to bring it back. And with no legacy to battle or revamp, we were able to return to the drawing board and make something so much better, from scratch. Coming to a Basecamp near you. Soon. Related

JavaScript programmer; creator of the jQuery library, author of Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, and long-time engineer at Khan Academy.
An amusing side effect of using LLMs when working at @khanacademy is that occasionally they're like "You're trying to cheat, aren't you?? No cheating allowed!!" (Clearing the chat and using more authority usually works well!) LLMs Related

Founding member of OpenAI and former director of AI at Tesla; creator of nanoGPT and the term "vibe coding".
Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest roun… Quoting @staysaasy The degree to which you are awed by AI is perfectly correlated with how much you use AI to code.

Addiction
Their words
Like any addictive consumer product that routinely exposes users to graphic sex, extreme violence, and anonymous sexual predators, social media in its current form causes a variety of harms to people of all ages. But we allow adults (often defined as age 18) to make decisions that are bad for them.

Their words
Today, we are constraining the models, the models can't quite express themselves in terms of the UI to people. But if you think about it, we've kind of boxed them in that way, but given these models can code, they should be able to write the best interfaces to express their ideas over time.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
