OpenAI's money belongs to investors and can be pulled if, say, investors got spooked. Apple's money is much more real.

> It's streamlining the interesting and fun parts out of my job

Interesting. For me it's streamlining the tedious and attentionally taxing parts of my work tasks. I love solving problems, I don't particularly love shaving yaks.

What readers should learn from this thread is the current state of AI is that no one has any idea what they are doing with AI. Treat anyone who claims otherwise with extreme skepticism.

(Just like you do with your agents ... right?)

I don't find this problem any different than with human writers. Agents are verbose, sure, but I mostly find them providing far more useful information (in far less time) than your average (P80, really) SWE.

The dogmatism on both ends of this argument grows tiresome.

I liked how you othered people as you lamented the human habit of othering people.

Quite honestly it sounds like:

1. Your use case falls squarely into "you should be paying for support" territory. 2. You're setting things up incorrectly. You should be shipping logs, not scraping them when you think you need them.

AI seems to be renewing and amplifying our cultish behavior as a species. AI is not going to save us from ourselves.

This narrative only really fits the pro line, and only if you squint hard enough. The story falls apart immediately with the MacBook Air. I remember the late Intel years: constant fans spinning, noticeable latency between mouseclick and UI response, 1-2h battery life in scenarios that now reliably get 8-10. Those were dark times.

>All of the oldest folks I knew were wrong about many things, but they were right to say that morality must be at the center of all public discourse

Most of the Trump supporters most everyone here knows are also the oldest folks they know. Funny that.

People use YAML because a bunch of other people use YAML. Whatever its warts, there's no use resisting it.

> Yes, current LLMs likely still lack some major aspects of intelligence.

Indeed, and so do current humans! And just like LLMs, humans are bad at keeping this fact in view.

On a more serious note, we're going to have a hard time until we can psychologically decouple the concepts of intelligence and consciousness. Like, an existentially hard time.

"Security" is not a binary, but a spectrum along which there are various tradeoffs. The vendor attempts to select the best configuration for its average/median user, and that's almost by definition not going to be the most secure configuration (see: tradeoffs).

I do think there should be some UI somewhere that allows for locking all things down to the most secure configuration possible.

Are you claiming the Hamas does not use the entire civilian population under their rule as human shields? I hope not, because that reality is obvious. It's not merely individuals, either: it's policy.

(Before responding with rhetoric in the other direction, please note that I have not taken a position on Israel here.)
