I've seen some companies expecting 2x output from Devs because they now get Cusor licence

I've written an async agent. It's triggered by a http request. It does a specific processing and updates a database table regarding it's output

Has anyone noticed that in the past year we have seen a LOT of outages?

Yes. Feels like every other week.

That goes against all the gushing posts about how AI is great. I use all the frontier models and sure they're a bit helpful

But I don't understand if they're that good why are we getting an outage every other week? AWS had an outage unsolved for about 9+ hrs!

Correct me if I am wrong. But Claude has probably been trained on gcc, so why oh why doesn't it one shot a faster and better compiler?

I once had a PR. I told the dev that "LLM is ok but you own the code"

He told me "I spent n days to architect the solution"

He shows me claude generated system design .. and then i say ok, I went to review the code. 1hr later i asked why did you repeat the code all over at the end. Dude replies "junk the entire PR it's AI generated"

Has anyone who's familiar with compiler source code tried to compare it to other compilers? Given that LLMs have been trained on data sets that include the source code for numerous C compilers, is this just (say) pcc extruded in Rust form?

It's absolutely terrifying that Ai will control everything in your PC using openclaw. How are people ok with it?!

I wanted to do something complex in google sheets. We had just gotten Gemini in gsheet. I assumed they'd have used some fancy mcp and enabled us to do a lot of things but all gemini in gsheet could do was summarize

It sounds like that's still a step up from Copilot.

I know Gemini has more advanced features in Docs and they rolled something out for Sheets. I would bet GWorkspace keeps gaining ground on the functionality battle.

Well, copilot is less than useless

But the thing is, for gemini to be magic, they need api for each operation, they don't have it! So that's why it can only do sum.

Steve Jobs used to say every product needs a killer feature

AI is a product in search of a killer feature

First AGI was anyday going to come. Gpt5 had showed intelligence apparently

Then got started adult chat with paying customers

Isn't AGI Adult Group Interaction?

Yes, I didn't think ofthat. See he is right. They did achieve AGI, just not the one he wanted

When I ask Siri to play some album on Spotify, it feels like it works about 60% of the time.

Siri is not Apple's MVP though.

So far my agents has worked better than Siri and afaik nobody has actually asked for a bailout yet.

Don't worry, it's coming

Apple's primary product is not Siri though. Siri is at best a side quest.

Or how "your next meeting will be in Metaverse"

Hoping that LLMs go the way of the Metaverse.

there is little chance of that, especially with people running them locally

Why? What don't you like about them?

Not who you asked, but I don't like the effect they have on people. People develop dependence on them at the cost of their own skills. I have two problems with that. A lot of their outputs are factually incorrect, but confidently stated. They project an air of trustworthiness seemingly more effectively than a used care salesman. My other problem is farther-looking. Once everyone is sufficiently hooked, and the enshittification begins, whoever is pulling the strings on these models will be able to silently direct public sentiment from under cover. People are increasingly outsourcing their own decisions to these machines.

exactly. People are blindly dumping everything into LLMs. A few years into the future, will we have Sr or Staff enggs who can fix things themselves? What happens when claude has an outage and there is a prod issue?!

PRs these days are all AI slop.

Good example.
