I think you're thinking of Dario saying this about image generation.

I typically provide small screenshots to llms so this seems fine for that usecase, providing an entire screens context seems cause confusion with a lot of llms.

Actually that's mostly just the military funding those, with a few of them having data center partnerships so they can shield themselves from the criticism of what they really are: military contractors.

I use everyday, and made a CLI for it, and working on nvim plugin (soon).

The only tool that made me excited to use agents.

I've always been curious about who works on software pricing. Do you guys hire actuaries for this type of work?

psst.. they all do. Also, what kind of IP are you protecting, are you protecting some crazy discovery, nothing you're throwing at them is special, they aren't going to steal your CRUD pomodora app.

If anything Deepseek is the only company I'd want to consent to training on my data, they're by far the most altruistic. Atleast they give back all their IP in the form of research and open source weights. It's not like they're hoarding your data for them to make money, they're basically giving everything out for free. The only reason you even have the option of waiting for another provider is because they release weights.

They're releasing all their IP, which is a trillion times more valuable than anything you're providing, you people are just greedy and oddly self centered.

They aren't that great, they can be helpful, but they mostly make lazy people seem and feel less lazy. Maybe that's you? Maybe that's me as well, idk, but when you look close, these things can easily cause more problems than they solve (more often than not ime). No I'm not holding it wrong, I got more token consumption than most here probably, I have access to all the models, unlimited, I'm not that impressed.

I've personally seen the consequences of someone who naively thought these tools could help them execute on their ideas and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up in prison because of it.

Chinese labs rushing to release models this week, because it's inevitable that Washington regulates Chinese models in the next 4 weeks. All the US AI leaders have been taking trips to Washington this week, what do you think they're there for..

Just look at the comments, everybody is like "look I built the same thing" LLM people have fried their ability to be original, its kind of nice knowing all my competition in tech has no original thought anymore.

This was just a pitch to VCs to collect a 10 million dollars because they don't know the difference between up and down and when say terminal multiplexer for the AI age they ask for your wire info.

Its hilarious how everyone in the comments is like "Look I built the same thing"

Ya'll really need to checkout that 15 year old talk from Peter Thiel about not building the same thing as everyone else. LLMs have destroyed problem solving, creative thinking in general. Why don't you people actually solve problems that matter and are original rather than making the equivalent of nvim configurations of the llm era?

Why are you wasting households worth of electricity, and money, while people in this world starve so you can copy perfectly fine open source projects? You llm people have lost the plot.

Frankly I don't know a single person who does all this extra meta-agentic customization that gets anything done. You all are like the people who do nvim configurations all day and think they're being productive.

I'd rather anyone using llms to fix pesky bugs in production gets fired and I work at a shop that cares about quality and craftsmanship. There are handmade swiss watchmakers, and then there are assembly line workers in China also making watches, which worker do you think goes home happier at night (and who's company is actually beloved), you have a choice.

I use 3.5 flash 10x more than any other model, despite have access to all of them. If I'm going to play a slot machine, I'd rather get the pain over with quickly.

bro it can't even make a button that doesn't look like it was designed in 2018, everything is ass. Product development isn't going anywhere.

I call this junk "meta-agentic engineering", it reminds me of people who have the coolest nvim configs, spend hundreds of hours customizing it but ultimately get less work done than the guy with minimal workflows, if any at all.

I look on twitter and it's just people building tools for agents to use agents, some weird customization loop going on in the LLM space right now. Ultimately these are trends pushed on us from model providers because they 10x token consumption. Its literally just BS trends to increase revenue at these companies, most of it is largely useless.
