    I don't believe this man has gone off-script for a moment in his life

      This is gold. I swear, this dude is the new Zuck.

    His follow up tweet is… odd.

    “I am sure we will figure out much better and more interesting ways to spend our time, and amazing new ways to be useful to each other, but I am feeling nostalgic for the present.”

    I don’t know why, but this just sounds very fake and ‘emoting by numbers’.

      He’s more robotic than an LLM

    I have the impression anything amazes him.

    By the way, is the thing about him and his sister a real thing?

    Haven't LLMs been good at bouncing off ideas since GPT-4? Coming up with feature ideas doesn't seem to have much to do with programming power tools.

    But sending off a SotA LLM agent to do research for 30 min+ to gather information, related concepts, products, etc, on any idea is insanely effective for sure. And something that hasn't been possible for all that long, at this level of quality.

    I think this guy is a marketing genius!

    I guess if there's one good thing about the AI hype bubble it's that the AI taught Sam Altman that he's actually useless. Now if the people giving him money would learn that we'd all be better off.

      Based AI bullies Altman. 900 dollar ram sticks totally worth it.

    Very unsurprising that that man felt useless. An amusing way to interpret what that unscrupulous little worm says is to interpret it as the truth.

    Is this what cosplaying a human looks like?

    Software development is pretty amazing when you see it for the first time.

    You should be looking for problems, not looking for features to add anyway.

    perhaps he should do himself and everyone else a favour and burst the AI bubble. let the brainrot out of the bubble
