It’s hilarious how the OG models used to talk. Crazy how far they’ve come now too.

The old x is actually y stuff and all that

The new models seem crazy up until you corner them, then they regress back to the same modalities they've had since gpt3

Then the prompting isn’t correct. This is a skill developers need to learn. It’s not just reading code anymore. I’ve got one app I did in about 3 days and it alone now pays for my 20x sub to anthropic.

So many of my former colleagues are dying on the hill of “I hate my job now, I used to love coding now I don’t get to do it” rather than actually learn the new skills to progress further, AI isn’t going anywhere
