The vast majority of coding isn’t making something new, it’s using existing patterns and tools and arranging them to fit a specific use case.

I would argue that arranging something to fit a specific use case is making something new.

Ask any designer how difficult it is to get a spec sheet from a client and meet their expectations. We’re expecting LLMs to suddenly solve this problem.

Llms may not be able to create a new framework or design pattern

Until they can do this, there is little threat to designers. There will be less grunt work, of course.

The sad reality is that code is just a form of language, and LLMs are good at learning languages.

This is debatable. LLMs are prediction machines.

What use is prediction when you are trying to code something new?

Only for a few, and only those who have a gift for it, which Paul claims he had.

I’m not sure what Bible you’ve read. The ones I’ve read make no claim to “not have too much sex”.

All analogies have flaws. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be an analogy, they would be describing the very thing itself.

What’s not cool is shitting on a movie just because you didn’t like it or it didn’t make sense to you.

If you don’t like or don’t get a work of art, it is entirely reasonable to shit on it.

Not all knowledge is inherently useful; some knowledge may lack practical application, relevance, or purpose, especially within certain contexts or timeframes.

Not all knowledge has application, the human mind has bandwidth limitations (ignoring capacity), knowledge is contextually sensitive, and some knowledge is actively harmful (e.g. misinformation, distraction).

The Israeli military used AI from Microsoft to carry out warfare.

The Israeli military’s usage of Microsoft and OpenAI artificial intelligence spiked last March [2024] to nearly 200 times higher than before the week leading up to the Oct. 7 attack, the AP found in reviewing internal company information. The amount of data it stored on Microsoft servers doubled between that time and July 2024 to more than 13.6 petabytes — roughly 350 times the digital memory needed to store every book in the Library of Congress. Usage of Microsoft’s huge banks of computer servers by the military also rose by almost two-thirds in the first two months of the war alone.
