Here is a TCP simulator I built using Fable 5 to reproduce BBR paper results: https://ccsim.apoxy.dev It took it ~4 hours to bang out initial version which was slightly broken then it took me another day to fix some bugs. A year ago this would take me more than a month of dedicated work, probably longer. A 50x productivity boost on pure coding tasks easily.

Try pointing Fable 5 to almost any CS paper - it can reproduce results in mere hours using maybe couple hundred bucks in retail token prices. This has been obvious to anyone caring to spent even just 30 mins for months now and the writing has been on the wall for more than a year.

1. Does this make money

2. Does this warrant the unsubsidized cost of AI?

3. Does this justify the harmful externalities of AI?

I don't need personal anecdotes. I want evidence that organisations make more money, get more efficient (and so on) due to AI. Please cite a paper.

A lot of software projects don't make money directly. Our company makes money. This would have cost thousands of dollars paid to a contractor previously with unclear results so yes it's 100% justified.

You're citing a paper that does not reproduce in the year 2026 and a guy who built a following on doom&gloom projections with zero actual verifiable sources and demanding proof. SMH

		The 2025 paper showed how people could fool themselves. How easy it seems that you fool yourself. The 2026 paper admitted it's different and has issues. > A lot of software projects don't make money directly. Our company makes money. That's an evasive answer and you know it. It's about AI making an impact on the bottom line, justifying it's cost. > A lot of software projects don't make money directly. Our company makes money. This would have cost thousands of dollars paid to a contractor previously with unclear results so yes it's 100% justified. Thousands of dollars is pocket change even for a small company. That's not the kind of impact AI is supposed to have. You see why I'm not convinced? You also don't talk about the unsubsidised cost of AI nor the negative externalities.
