alt Hacker NewsI love these hacks, even though from an efficiency point of view it is horrifying to my assembly-code-golfing-brain. And it also gives some new appreciation for how much more efficient deterministic programs are compared to AI.

Two years ago: nice toy.
18 months ago: it can do some things but it’s generally not useful.
12 months ago: wow; this can write ok code that a human has to do a lot of review to make sure it’s ok.
6 months ago: holy fuck I’m shipping great stuff with only the occasional redo.
3 months ago: Jesus Christ this is actually pretty fucking great. I have to work entirely differently; becoming a manager of my single agent launching sub agents.
1 month ago: my god I am shipping more, faster, and more useful than ever.
Today: we have fleets of highly effectively domain expert agents working entirely autonomously and shifting between fleets depending on domain, available usage remaining, and we’re shipping 10x with 100% better reviews than before—expanding by the day and self-improving its own harness.

Next week: the agents will prioritize code golf.
The week after that: everything is written in ASM.
We’ll come full circle in 3y
e: fyi; this is my personal progression with LLMs.
Once our compute base shifts from silicon to human brains grown in vats, you'll be thankful you can run all your old deterministic compute tasks on flesh neurons!
The day is coming when we have widespread local inference on super powerful and efficient hardware and people will ask it what time the store closes, get distracted, and then ask it again instead of scrolling up.
