LLMs are slow, expensive and inconsistent. More importantly It’s not the right tool for the job.

Really feels like more “oohhh look at how important and scary LLMs are”.

*edit* PS, my company does marketing, communication and trade surveillance for FINRA registered broker dealer firms. If the CCO or anyone else with admin access wanted to monitor for someone talking badly about them they absolutely could update their list. No LLMs in the loop, very scalable, affordable, auditable and reliable. LLMs are just an interface not a solution for analysis.

There are far more boring, faster, commodified “AI” systems that I can see as being helpful in autonomous weapons or military operations like image recognition and transcription. Is OpenAI going to resell whisper for a billion dollars?

I thought this was an interesting concept. It feels a little dystopian in a corporate context but much less so in an early stage startup.

My app is fairly mature with well established patterns, etc. When I’m adding “just CRUD” as part of a feature it’s very tedious to prompt agents, reviewing code, rinse & repeat. Were I actually writing the code by hand I would probably be less productive and just as bored/unsatisfied.

I spent a decent amount of time today designing a very robust bulk upload API (compliance fintech, lots of considerations to be had) for customers who can’t do a batch job. When it was finished I was very pleased with the result and had performance tests and everything.

One of the most disappointing things about college was how little people cared about the liberal arts aspect, where humanities courses were an annoying box to tick.

I’m really curious why this would be preferable for a AAA studio game outside of potential cost savings. Also imagine it’d come at the cost of deterministic output / consistency in visuals.

In this case I’m sure that I’d be tempted to come to Norway and learn how ø is pronounced.

I have worked at startups and got some worthless equity. I've also launched some (small) things on my own and am very interested in building large things, raising some money, etc.

Given OOP is actively recruiting I'm really just curious how this could effect your/their/someone in or interested in Norway's thinking when they could go anywhere in the EU or from TFA, remain in the US.

If you raise a second round at $15M, next year you owe $76k, so on. This creates an impossible situation for a founder of, let’s say, a fission reactor startup.

I could be wrong also, I was curious to hear a real life Norwegian’s thought about it.

A system like this only serves entrenched interests, not entrepreneurs or workers. Want to make a life saving drug? Have to sell off ownership of your company or use runway to pay taxes on something that could be absolutely worthless in the end or wind up losing control. Better off selling to Novonordisk!

Full disclosure, I know that this isn’t everyone’s goal, but this is HN after all!

Cynically, I imagine it will not but I hope that it could.

I work with a younger guy from the south and he definitely has an accent but that could be an anomaly.
