It gives me serious TED talk vibes. I guess it could be called that. Or maybe it's the twitter thread style?
A lot of catchy one liner hook sentences ("they're literally removing concession stands from NFL stadiums!") that sort of add up to make the author's point.
I'm pretty sure fact checking line by line will make the whole thing less impressive.
You'd think Open AI's dev velocity and quality would be off the charts since they live and breathe "AI." If a company building ChatGPT itself often delivers buggy features then it doesn't bode well for this whole 'AI will eat the world' notion.
Well none of the labs have good frontend or mobile engineers or even infra engineers
Anthropic is ahead in this because they keep their UIs simplistic so the failure modes are also simple (bad connection)
OpenAI is just pushing half baked stuff to prod and moving on (GPTs, Canvas).
Find it hilarious and sad that o1-pro just times out thinking on very long or image-intense chats. Need to reload page multiple times after it fails to reply and maybe answer will appear (or not? Or in 5 minutes?). Kinda shows they’re not testing enough and “not eating their own food” and feels like chatgpt 3.5 ui before the redesign

What's funny is that OpenAI's Canvas was their attempt to copy Anthropic's Artifacts! So it's not like Anthropic is stagnant and OpenAI is at least shipping, Anthropic is shipping and OpenAI can't even copy them right.
It's a good point, Anthropic is being VERY choosy and winds up knocking it out of the park with stuff like Artifacts. Meanwhile their MacOS app is junk, but obviously not a priority.
So far, I've found AI to be a great force multiplier in green field, small projects. In a huge corporate codebase, it has the power of advanced refactoring (which doesn't touch more than a handful files at a time) and a CSS wizard.
According to all the magazines I've been reading, all that is required is to just prompt it with "please fix all of these issues" and give it a bulleted list with a single sentence describing each issue. I mean, it's AI powered and therefore much better than overpaid prima-donna engineers, so obviously it should "just work" and all the problems will get fixed. I'm sure most of the bugs were the result of humans meddling in the AI's brilliant output.
Right now, in fact, my understanding is OpenAI is using their current LLM's to write the next generation ones which will far surpass anything a developer can currently do. Obviously we'll need to keep management around to tell these things what to do, but the days of being a paid software engineer are numbered.
Well, travelling as a group of people almost always demands having a plan, otherwise “we’ll just wander around until we find something interesting” is a hard sell to get everyone on board.
