All the emotion of speculations aside, how it runs? It boots faster yeah, but what about RAM and CPU usage? Weird dead loop or dead locks?

If it run as good as before or even better, then that's kinda impressive.

I'm a developer so I really don't like it when AI might took my job, but if everyone on this planet could create a software for themselves exactly as how they wanted with just a few simple demands, that will change the world for the better.

Think of it as a democratization of technology. You don't want Microsoft stealing your data? Just ask a AI to write an OS for you. You don't want Google to listen to what you're saying? Just ask a AI to design a phone for you. If one day the AI ended up doing that, it will be the ultimate technology self-sufficient. In front of that, your job security is insignificant.

It is also why keeping the tech open source is that much important. Otherwise, it's still the same old shit again and again, and, you lose your job too.

> I'm a developer

Then you must know that the hardest part of software development is getting clear requirements...

> everyone on this planet could create a software for themselves exactly as how they wanted

Even with perfect AGI this will never happen because people will never be able to express clear requirements

[William_BB]

It's not even about requirements. It's about responsibility. Someone has to take responsibility for the code and the product. Someone has to hotfix a bug that's costing millions of dollars an hour and someone has to be blamed for a bug that's consting millions of dollars an hour.

[godwinson__4-8]

Not really. The secret of our society is it wouldn't work if people with a controlling interest in things ever faced personal responsibility. Who got blamed for the Iraq war? How much did that cost? The theory is if you tried to blame someone then some future president wouldn't be able to declare war. You don't know how the law works apparently. Corporate law is pretty much the same. The economy doesn't boom if CEOs can actually be blamed for things. You don't blame a "someone" that's what incorporation does. If some code does a booboo just put a $ amount on it, withdraw the funds and move on. The media will focus on the humans because of the drama, but they are largely irrelevant. It doesn't come out of their pockets. A human is already window dressing in this status quo. A LLM has no reason to do the sorts of things that violate such legal protections, be it of a president (none really apply) or a CEO (good luck getting a CEO to take personal responsibility for anything short of outright fraud). If it suddenly goes haywire the law already has a concept of vis major.

The secret is individual humans are already largely irrelevant to our society. That's how we got here. The trend will only continue.

> Think of it as a democratization of technology

Incredibly naive take when these models are closed behind (for now subsidized) paywalls.

This "democratization" argument is so nauseating, seems like the Bun port to Rust as a marketing piece (the primary motivator) sold it well!

[nirui]

That's why it matters for people to hold the control of the tech, not companies, as I've already mentioned quite clearly.

LLM is here to stay, keep denying the fact won't work. What does is to make the tech so abundant, it flushes the bad actors, such as for-profit AIs, completely out. It's either this, or get crushed by for-profit AIs, pick one.

[anematode]

It's a "democracy", in which some people (Anthropic and co., and anyone willing to suck up to them) are more equal than others...

[revengerwizard]

It definitely worked as a marketing stunt for sure

A good tool, in the hands of a skilled craftsman gets great results.

The same tool, in the hands of someone that doesn't know how to handle it? I'll let you finish that

Basically, a good developer can handle the tool better by asking the proper questions, setting good guardrails and tweaking the output where needed
