I don't think they are confused. They are simply challenging the assertion that the model should not work with other software. Which is fair because there is a lot of precedent around whether a service can dictate how it must be consumed. It's not a simple answer and there are good reasons for both sides. Whichever path we take will have wide consequences and shape our future in a very distinct way. So it is an important decision, and ultimately up to us, as a society to influence and guide.

"challenging the assertion that the model should not work with other software"

This has nothing to do with "the model". You can use "the models" through the API for anything.

This has to do with access to a specific product being abused to then get low-cost API access for other use cases


How did he not share code if you're working together?

yes, it was my mistake. I trusted him because he was my childhood friend and my cousin. He was a tech lead in CMMI Level 5 (serving fortune 500 firms) company at the time he joined with me. I had the trust that he will never ran away with the code and that trust is still there, also the entire feature, roadmap and vision was with me, so I thought code doesn't matter. It was a big learning for me.

That's a crazy story. That confrontation must have been a difficult one :/

Absolutely. But I never had any choice. It was Do or Die.

Input your roadmap into an llm of your choosing and see if you can create that code.

I can, but I switched to something more challenging. I handed over all things to him and told, Iam no more interested. I don't want him to feel that i cheated him by creating something he worked on.

> our policy agent extracts all coverage limits and policy details into a data ontology.

Are they using some software for this or was this built in-house?


Humans are still needed, but they just got down-skilled.

> got down-skilled.

who's to say that it's a down?

Orchestrating and doing higher level strategic planning, such that the sub-tasks can be AI produced, is a skill that might be higher than programming.


Got a source?



> It is a luxury good that only a very small number of people care about

The world runs on computers. It is as essential as oil for the functioning of societies. Increase in silicon costs is going to increase costs unilaterally across the board. It happened during the pandemic and something similar will happen now. If anything it should be a wake up call to countries to start thinking about securing their own supply chains.


Would it be as ironic if one wrote an article about Google and used Google search to research their sources?


If the article were about Google ruining everything, yes.


No because google can both ruin things and be a tool that is helpful in certain circumstances


But is consciousness even a thing? Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the one making a claim that there exists something called consciousness? If they cannot show evidence that such a thing exists or may exist, then for all purposes it does not exist.


If you want to pretend you don't exist, that's your business. I think we both know you do.


That's not how science works. You have to devise an experiment that can independently validate the assertion.


I don’t need to prove it to anybody. I know it’s a thing, that’s good enough for me.


It's not good enough for science. How do you approach it so it can be independently verified?


That’s why it’s such a hard problem. We barely have the language to talk about it. We have no way to observe it in other people. We have no way to measure it. And we have no idea how these things could even be done in theory.


One could say the same thing about a higher power as well. But the scientific stance is clear on that one.


Sort of. Many people state a direct experience with a higher power as the source of their belief in one, so it is similar. But not quite the same, because consciousness is the thing doing the experiencing. It’s more fundamental in that way. The experience of a higher power could be false, in that it’s not really a higher power. But it is some experience. Consciousness can’t be false in that way.

These debates always leave me wondering if some people aren’t actually conscious. Some of these arguments wouldn’t make any sense to someone who actually experiences qualia. I liken it to the old debate over the existence of mental imagery, which was finally settled as being something that some people have and some don’t. But until that was figured out, the two sides just didn’t comprehend each other.


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.


What's the token usage and time taken to run this for a given repository?


Roughly 300K to 1M tokens in total. It’s big, but should only happen once per repo. And around 2 minutes to run.


Are you sure 2 minutes? That's 1000+ tokens/sec.


Yes. Most of the tokens are input tokens.
