> We're in the same situation now, with your access to the Internet - commerce, social networking, information - going through a walled garden of Gemini or OAI or Ant or Perplexity.

Really? I'm still using the internet, and I don't touch any of that stuff.

> by providing developers the ability to choose to use their own AI tooling

Wait, what does that have to do with any of what you said before? That doesn't sound like "access to the Internet."

> create a viable alternative to a bleaker, non-open Internet.

And now you've switched back to talking about the open (or not) Internet, which has nothing to do with "developers [choosing] their own AI tooling".

It sounds like you're just pursuing your own pet project while trying justify it using the language of internet freedom.

So, using artificial intelligence requires more expertise than not using it?

> The writing was fine, and each individual paragraph was fine, but the whole thing together was meandering and dare I say pointless. It was so many words and yet so little seems to have been said.

I bet that I know why!

> "Agents need control flow, not more prompts"

Can't wait for ya'll to come full circle and invent programming from first principles.

I can't tell if this is satire or not. Well done!

Yes, no credit if I have to ask someone to turn it off for me. It could obviously be a toggle here in the US.

> "coding the old way"

You mean the way that the majority of code is still written by professionals?

Not "investing" in cryptocurrency would be a good start. =)

> The Fremont factory lines that built those cars are converting to manufacture Optimus humanoid robots: one million units per year at $20,000 each, with public sales beginning in 2027.

Sure, why not? Seems just as likely as Tesla having 1 million robotaxis on the road by the end of 2026. =)

This is where I stopped reading:

> Scotty was built with the help of AI

So it sounds like my heuristic worked. =)

I can't think of a less useful avenue of research in cryptography right now.

I think that the ideas of AI boosters and other tech maximalists will pretty much always "struggle to land" with normal people. (See also: the ring ad.)

> The middle class have financially benefited very little from the past 20+ years of productivity gains.

More like the last 50 years.

"For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades"

The TL;DR is that in 1964 the average hourly wage was $20.27. As of 2018, average hourly wage was $22.65.

Using an LLM for a "financial workflow" makes as much sense as integrating one with Excel. But who needs correct results when you're just working with money, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
