Aren’t we kinda realising that disposable/throwaway stuff is, like, bad? Why do we have to go down this wasteful and hyper-consumptive route AGAIN. Can we try and see the patterns here and move forwards?
Agree in general. I don’t see how making an agent create software is more wasteful than making dozens of engineers create the same thing. The latter seems more wasteful.
We have compilers creating binaries every single day. We don’t say thats wasteful.
Well ticketmaster (for example) is used by millions of people. It seems to me like spinning up millions of LLMs to produce a million different apps is way more wasteful than having a dozen developers produce one efficient app that everyone can use?
What to use? A website where you can quickly buy the stuff you want? Or an LLM where you specify how to buy the the thing you want, wait a while, then actually do the buying, and praying in the meantime, it's not throwing your money away?
