It depends on risk preferences.

Risk seekers should be entrepreneurs.

Risk averse people, probably, should not.

Why do people write such nonsense?

Jobs envisioned the iPad and iPhone. Did he do the physical work? No. But he created direction.

Everyone around him at that time has commented on this. Are you going to claim they’re all lying?

I don't claim that they are all lying, but I do claim that quite some people fell for Apple's marketing (as I wrote: "Jobs' talent was that he was an incredibly talented salesman.").

Correct.

LLM’s are the virus of the mind - people think so what? I get my output and move on.

Yeah.. no. You need that thinking capacity to protect yourself. Once that’s gone en-masse, what’s left of the democratic system (not much) will completely collapse. Congrats to legally creating an environment that yields oligarchy.

Altman and his cronies yearn for a swath of people who cannnot think for themselves.

“ Finding problems that people will pay money to have solved by software is a different entirely more complicated matter ”

Come on you’re taking the piss, surely.

On a serious note it would be great to run an experiment - get 20 people on here claiming 100x productivity, and let’s see what they muster up in 1 month working together.

I’m happy to put money in towards it ;)

Yea but that design part is the most expensive part. The code generation is pretty trivial - the advantage of llm’s is the power to search through pre-trained information spaces - much faster than a human could. Issue is again.. probabilistic. So there’s variance.’

Indeed. Astro turfing posts have a particular smell to them.

I was also like this but I managed to wire my brain to get over the anxiety/fear whatever it was to getting started and it’s worked magically.

And I’m thankful - I’d really hate to rely on something else to get me going…

That’s great! I just want to be clear - it’s not “reliance.” It is a tool, and I find it helpful.

I managed my entire life without it, and I can certainly continue to do that.

But there’s no reason, imho, to give up the automatic transmission just because I already know how to drive stick.
