Maybe in previous failed attempts that what the model landed on and they’re preemptively stopping it. Did they release the any info on the failed attempts?
It's so sad that Rust vs Zig has been dragged into the AI psychosis vs anti AI narratives. I feel people are taking sides or picking and choosing now based on their allegiance and religious values. What good comes out of this?
You have to put similar amount of resources when writing in Rust as well. With the difference that it’s more front loaded. Personally I’m a fan of Rust’s approach but the price for having bug free code has to be paid, regardless, one way or the other.
While there are a lot of resources being poured into improving and integrating tooling and use cases and increasing model sizes, the leap between the models you notes are not as much as you think it is. It's the same tech that's scalable to a certain limit of diminishing return. It's a recurrent pattern in technology.

Yes, perhaps one day. Probably no other "job" as they are today will have the same shape and form. Cancer will be cured and fission will be solved. We may even crack teleporting. Let's hope these all happen and the outcome is not detrimental the livelihood of humans.

There's existing money and expertise in those environments to rewrite the whole thing, yet they don't. You may loan them free engineers/experts and they might still not rewrite anything.

Aren't you gonna let the LLM develop for you anyway? Why bother writing and reading a post at all?
> pretending like pre-LLM era blogs were these pristinely well written pieces of art
The point is the effort and care that the writer puts which differentiates it from automatically generated text. That matters because a human can sympathize and that leads to better understanding and greater connection. That's why a post is written.

And we criticize those as well. Nothing's changed. Yesterday's bad content is today's slop (plus a mind boggling amount of investment, corruption and environmental side effects).
Not the original commenter; but, at least for me, the idea is that when it’s written by humans we know that effort and care were put into communicating the news. Otherwise they could post a link to the docs and we could ask my flavor of LLM to summerize. No need for extra filler content. That why it’s slop and it’s different.

You see problems in the results? Simple, don’t check the results!
You can have billions of valuation even without having any real product. It’s just make believe sometimes. Remember Nikola and Milton? There’s a solo founder for you. 30 freaking Bs.
