Is anyone else tired of hearing every week how a new LLM by OpenAI or Anthropic just released, and this one is different. This time, *for sure*, we're only 3 - 6 months away from AGI. Oh it's not working? You just don't know how to prooompt bro, just proompt it better.
@neetcode1 True! The fact that hallucinations is still a thing today, even though the top AI people (Sam Altman, Mustafa Suleyman, etc) all said a couple years ago that it would’ve been a solve problem by now and it isn’t is all you need to know! Will take longer than they say!
@neetcode1 Today I finally switched to cursor (from vscode) and prompted myself into a bug that I spent 1+ hours trying to figure out 😭 So need to develop better code review skills too I guess 🤷
@neetcode1 We just need to take on gym cultures brazen attitude. “Do you even prompt bro?” #skillIssue #builtDifferent
@neetcode1 we are 1 year into 3 - 6 months away from AGI
Interesting, isn’t it, that the models always seem to do so exceedingly well on benchmarks, yet absolutely crash and burn on basic, everyday tasks. The excuse is that we’re just not prompting it right (reminds me of Apple with the iPhone 4’s antenna and their infamous statement to customers that “you’re holding it wrong”). That kind of deflection will only work for so long before people catch on to the fact that we aren’t going to get to AGI anytime soon and those who are looking for a quick escape from having to work better not make any plans for a hasty exit from gainful employment.
@neetcode1 AGI timelines give me whiplash too. But honestly, most teams don’t need sentient AI—just using existing models strategically to automate the grind. (Also, if prompting was easy, why’s everyone’s LinkedIn full of ‘AI whisperer’ titles?)
@neetcode1 Extremely tired of it. There was already an issue with people not understanding the basics this is just making things worst.
@neetcode1 What do you think AGI means? But 1st, What do you think "general intelligence" means?? What would qualify a person to determine whether something was AGI? Perhaps sufficient GI..?
@neetcode1 yes yes mfs you will achieve human intelligence from memes in the internet
@neetcode1 It will be fun when AI companies go bankrupt... cof cof, OpenAI.
@neetcode1 I plan on riding this exact wave straight until retirement...
@neetcode1 'Bro, old-school coders are not needed anymore. You don’t even need to understand what is generated - this is next-level programming.'
@neetcode1 have you heard the good news ? AI can x100 any* dev task *as long as it's React forms
@neetcode1 Bro. Just one more LLM, bro. One more LLM and we'll get AGI bro. It's just a bigger LLM bro. Cmon bro just give me 500 billion dollars please please.
@neetcode1 Your job is not being replaced by AI. Your job is being replaced by a full grown man in a third world country making half the wage of a McDonald’s worker using AI.
@neetcode1 The problem is not the model. The problem is automatic context management - finding the 128k (or fewer) tokens that will produce the output you want. The better the models get, the less perfect the prompt needs to be.
@neetcode1 In recent weeks I’ve become increasingly annoyed by it. Up to point where I received an email me hard-selling AI tools with “oh you’re typing your code manually. Respect. But why?” from a place I would have never expect it.
@neetcode1 don't care doing my thing no matter what in ~10 we either be all in ghettos eating rats or we get universal income
@neetcode1 There is no AGI. Dream concept created as carrot.
@neetcode1 It's the same as new JavaScript frameworks getting dropped every week
@neetcode1 It’s okay. Communication difficulties is common for engineers. There’s always hope though
@neetcode1 One of the reasons I've taken a break from ML is .. it's become a rat race
@neetcode1 tbh, at this point I am too tired to argue. At this point, I hope they replace us bro because the hype for this is exhausting.
@neetcode1 Like you've already said, getting from 95-99% accuracy is much more difficult than from 0-95%🙂↔️(hopefully I'll get a job, earn money and retire before AGI is made and SD's become jobless)
@neetcode1 Some pretentious anime pfp dude everytime something new drops : "husbando we aru homedesu" "Another model and we're getting mogged" Bitch stfu
@neetcode1 The next model is better than the previous models. It can auto-generate code that kind of works. Most of the time or not work at all.
