Reading stuff like this continue to make advances and new releases is like a fever dream when everything else is all AI. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I wonder if it’s a bubble thing. People carry on and do what they always did, or just began thinking about what to do with LLMs. Big tech companies and startups may have to move fast and adapt, but I guess many other companies and organisations do not have to rush or fear immediate extinction, just because the wind blows in the other direction elsewhere in the world. I see that Hacker News and X are very "noisy" about LLMs (naturally), but that doesn’t mean the whole tech industry must react in the same way. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

>"Reading stuff like this continue to make advances and new releases is like a fever dream when everything else is all AI." Do the advances mean anything though? Alan Kay is a personal hero of mine, I love the aesthetic of Smalltalk, and the dream-that-was once upon a time of such a system was a real missed opportunity for the evolution of programming environments. But is it anything more than a neat hobby at this point? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
