If before LLMs it took 20 years to build something, with LLMs it might still take 2-5 years, and they've been around of only 5 years. So, you're asking this too early.

Certainly HR wants you to think so, otherwise even they are not safe. So, you'll see jobs and interviews for vacancies that don't exist so those still left in HR can seem busy, because they are next in masses.

am i the only one who sticks to defaults, mostly?

When I'm in the mood to code I'd pay for API request to guarantee I get a response right away. No subscription usage limit is holding me back from making progress. Agents don't work. You have to compose your own context, which means you need to send the raw request. Not have assistant figure out. They are using multiple requests but every request is the end of each conversation. People have no idea how to use these things. That's why there's such gamut of disagreement about how useful this is, because less than 1% of people can benefit from using LLMs, and it's only programmers. So they'll keep increasing prices until only few people willing to pay for it. This is more useful than solidworks, and solidworks is $4000. So this will eventually reach and exceed $10000/year. Only programmers will be able to afford it. Everyone who is now using it for search and entertainment will be out of luck.

I can prove it will happen earlier but no one will believe me.

Agents and assistants is like buying insurance. You need to pay per token.

Live long enough and eventually it will suck.

Why drain resources training more controllers when we're having energy collapse? Even if they start pumping oil, it will only delay the inevitable. What would we do with all the extra controllers if we have to fire them in ten years anyway?

Microsoft is on track to be judged for digital genocide.

am i the only one whose API usage is cheaper than monthly subscription?
