It was embarrassing a year+ ago when much of this technology barely worked at all.

If you did not perceive a step change in model capabilities in late 2025, it's possible you are working on problems that are just too hard or not well aligned (e.g., arts and crafts). If you are working on software and need to move the occasional mountain, it's really hard to argue with the capabilities of contemporary models and harnesses.

This space is evolving rapidly. Faster in some areas than others, but you should still keep an open mind and adapt to the new realities as they emerge. Wishing for a thing to fail can blind you to more opportunities than you would probably be willing to reject if they were presented directly.

Sure it's better. 100x productivity is pure nonsense and there are other claims of this order.

Rejecting exaggerated claims doesn't mean that someone is not seeing any value.

Nov'25-Dec-25 something changed. I believe that was the time when Opus 4.5 was launched. (we went from function auto-complete to module auto-complete) People came from the vacations, and were like, make AI do your work. One could actually start offloading work to LLMs.

Yeah, this is nonsense. No one is arguing that AI is useless, but that there is a coordinated marketing campaign hyping it up.

“Hyping up” bro you are living the hype. This is hype. It is reality. The parent comment explained how it is reality.

The marketing is doing a pro social thing by spreading the word on the capabilities.

The alternative is slower diffusion and the kind of people who prefer this are those who like the exclusivity for a bit of time. Is that you?

		> The marketing is doing a pro social thing by spreading the word on the capabilities. I hope they are paying you; if not, they should. First time I am told marketing is doing public service and we should be thankful for it. That said, your account is the exact pattern of recent account with high karma (commenting a lot) that are really really bullish on AI and do their utmost to defend it from any negative PR. This place is lousy with them nowadays. EDIT: you created the HN account, and a blog, basically at the same time, to post about LLMs. Not saying you are a bot, but if you are not a paid actor you are leaving money on the table, bro.
