On the other hand, LLM will force most languages to either become as masochistic as Rust with restricted clippy, or disappear.

Python is not going to survive once people start figuring out it's much easier to keep LLM agent in check if language actively fights back.

thats an interesting take on python. I think I might agree with you

I think the opposite may be true. If dev tools are broken and it annoys someone, they can more easily build a better architecture, find optimizations and release something that is in all ways better. People have been annoyed with pip forever, but it was the team behind uv that took on pip's flaws as a primary concern and made a better product.

I think having a pain point and a good concept (plus some eng chops) will result in many more dev tools - that may be cause different problems, but in general, I think more action is better than less.

this is exactly what I mean though. Instead of the community building a better tool that we collectively contribute to and work with, genAI is going to silo all the good stuff with individual developers and teams instead. Because its so cheap to create these tools, no one is going to bother publishing new ones for everyone, so we will essentially be stuck with what we have forever now.

I've been worried for some time now that genAI will effectively kill the market for dev tools and so we will be stuck with our current dev tools for a long time. If everyone is using LLMs to write code, the only dev tools anyone will use will be the ones that the LLMs use. We will be stuck with NPM forever.

You are overstating or overgeneralizing the strength of psychedelics as a class of drug. Most people who take them are not taking enough to produce a PTSD-level response.

I developed PTSD after my finding my 3yo son floating in a pool face down (I luckily saved and revived him - he's fine now) and it would take a very intense psychedelic experience to come anywhere close to that kind of emotional content.

Claiming the entire class of drugs are a potent cause of PTSD rings of reefer madness propaganda to me.

There is something I don’t entirely understand about psychedelic use. While it might end up being temporary, there is a lot of data that it alters neural structures in fundamental and relatively poorly understood ways. Consciousness itself is very poorly understood. Why take a chemical that is a bit like rolling the dice on how it’s going to modify fundamentally what you are? If you are struggling with severe depression or anxiety or otherwise, I get it… but in most other cases, why? I post this as someone deeply curious about trying them, yet my mind and intellect are things I cherish when it comes to my enjoyment of life.

I think there is a misunderstanding about the therapeutic effects of psychedelics. The drugs themselves may alter physical structure in your brain a little bit - but what they really do is temporarily give you a different perspective - they change your point of view. That skewing of perspective is (I believe) where the therapeutic effect from these drugs arises.

If you are deeply curious about these types of drugs, you need to remember that they all wear off eventually. Lots of very smart and happy people have taken these drugs and experienced no harm.

the photo of the gameboy playing tetris in this article is so iconic. I can feel the gameboy in my hands right now.

I believe that they will solve problems in different ways, just like we solve problems different from our ancestors because of the internet.

All of the nay-sayers in the comments here are thinking about this from the POV of a person who reached intellectual maturity without LLMs and now use it as a force multiplier, and rightly so.

However, I think that take is too short-sighted and doesn't take into account the effect that these products have on minds that have not yet reached maturity. What happens when you've been using ChatGPT since grade school and have effectively offloaded all the hard stuff to AI through college? Those people won't be using it as a force multiplier - they will be using it to perform basic tasks. Ray-Ban sells glasses now with LLMs built in with a camera and microphone so you can constantly interact with it all day. What happens when everyone has one of these devices and use it for everything?

What a load of crap. I don't believe it for one second. Also, AI has only been an important influence for about twenty minutes.

Here's what I think: AI causes you to forget how to program but causes you to learn how to plan.

Also, AI enhances who you are. Dummies get dummer. Smarties get smarter.

But that's not proven. It's anecdote. And I don't believe anyone knows what is really happening and those that claim to are counterproductive.

I think you are looking at this from a too-narrow lens. What happens when people have ChatGPT built into their eyeglasses and they use it for literally everything. Ray-Ban is already selling this as a product.

Sounds bullish for AI.

It's like a drug. You start using it, and think you have super powers, and then you've forgotten how to think, and you need AI just to maybe be as smart as you were before.

Every company will need enterprise AI solutions just to maybe get the same amount of productivity as they got before without it.

This is sad but true.
