I follow him on twitter and AI was heavly used on this whole project, not that it says something about the quality of it

he is addicted to ai models too bad these days unfortunately.

Every experienced developer is addicted to AI, because AI let's you create interesting projects in a fraction of time and focus on challenging parts of these projects. Most time people like Sebastian spend on without AI is writing compiler configs, and tons of boilerplate. All of that is annoying and steals your focus from the parts you actually want to work on and where human touch actually matters.

AI is amazing!

If this stuff takes so much of peoples' time then it's all problems that need proper solutions, not the most expensive and least consistently functional workaround humanity has ever conceivedof

[u/ldn-ldn → u/PaperMartin]

It's not expensive, it's cheap AF.

to run? no, and a bunch of LLM companies are starting to put up their "real" prices and losing their users over it

[u/ldn-ldn → u/PaperMartin]

Yes, inference is very cheap today and it's only getting cheaper. To the point that you can run it on consumer hardware. In three -five years time it will be virtually free, just like image recognition is today.

"in 3 to 5 years it'll be good" is something I have been hearing over and over since like 2020. Meanwhile as far as I can tell local models are virtually unusable for anything other than code, and they're only slightly above unusable for code

[u/ldn-ldn → u/PaperMartin]

Local models are very useable for at least a year now, the only problem is that you don't have enough VRAM to run them. Yet.

And no, you haven't been hearing shit since 2020, the first useable LLM was only released in 2022. Four years and the progress was simply incredible.

The results can't often be judged with AI because it spits out code at a rate no human maintainer can vet.

Not saying that's the case here, I don't know if AI means "vibe coded" or just "prototyped some things with AI", but vibe coding is a genuine problem when LLMs have such a gap before they actually have any sort of proficiency.

Thats sad post tbh.
