Everything feels very European.

Unproductive company that is 3rd place (assuming we are lumping 4 better US models and 3 Chinese models).

The only thing that gives it value is that it's generated in some region in Europe, like random cheese or wine.

But I still can't imagine a usecase outside patriotism.

Privacy can be solved by self hosting a US or Chinese model.

Seems performative.

You are delusional if you think people like a french, italian or swiss cheese just because it was made in said parts of europe.

Or you have no taste.

I see the downvotes and I don't really disagree with you.

This hurts because my resume has laravel and WordPress on it. I built sooo many sites/apps on it.

With AI agents, I just can't imagine using PHP anymore unless I'm patching legacy stuff.

I loved laravel too... WordPress, love hate.

Yeah, I have a legacy site that is popular and doesn't make money with some outdated version of PHP that will not update. Maybe I need to install OpenClaw on it.

But yeah, with AI agents, I don't really understand the purpose anymore. Legacy WordPress or laravel sites?

Desktops don't need updates either ;)

Debian on the desktop is the best computer decision I ever made

In 2024 I saw a reddit post answering the question: AI is going to program insert name App.

Response: "What's the prompt?"

Yep. I might take minimum wage interns and make million dollar software(or million dollars in 2023), but they often run into issues that a 5 minute review with me solves.

I do wonder if AI is going to eliminate prompt engineering... It's basically all I have left. I feel like I have magic words.

I can't think of how it'll really eliminate prompting, but needing to carefully phrase your language already seems in the way out? Wasn't one of the prompts leading to solving fields problems just "look for fields problems and try very hard" or the equivalent

Why can't I prompt. "Make me a million dollars, no crime" and it work though?

I mean you can, but you're asking the wrong question.

What number in line do you expect to be when asking the same prompt.

For example, why wouldn't OpenAI ask that first long before you get a chance at the model?

Because they need to show several billion dollars in revenue. A million dollars a day would be utter failure for them. If they have $122 billion cash on hand, at 3 percent interest, they're getting $10 million a day just in interest.

If they asked their unreleased bot to get a million dollars and it suggests betting on Kalshi, that would be hilarious.

Again, it's still the wrong question.

Why wouldn't someone with access long before you ask first? For example a model provider like hugging face, or a nation state looking to interrupt some other nations economy?

The problem with any simple question is you're exceptionally unlikely to be the first person to explore the problem space and pick the lowest hanging fruit. It's not impossible, it's just improbable.

Lastly why wouldn't OpenAI ask how to make a million dollars a million times? Or if it's cheap enough for them, how to make $1 a trillion times. There is a reason people talk about AI risks, and one particular risk being that the AI companies no longer need us pesky humans to think for them. They hoover up all the GDP and leave the rest of us to fight for scraps.

Yeah, I was explaining this as magic words. It seems like knowing `pandoc` means you can convert any kind of document into any other kind of document.

Knowing uv means you can scaffold any python project. docker lets you build any infrastructure kit.
