Build a rag with significant amount of text, extract it by key word topic, place, date, name, etc.
… realize that it’s nonsense and the LLM is not smart enough to figure out much without a reranker and a ton of technology that tells it what to do with the data.
You can run any vector query against a rag and you are guaranteed a response. With chunks that are unrelated any way.
unrelated in any way? that's not normal. have you tested the model to make sure you have sane output? unless you're using sentence-transformers (which is pretty foolproof) you have to be careful about how you pool the raw output vectors
When an LLM can rewrite it in 24 hours and fill the missing parts in minutes that argument is hard to defend.
I can vibe code what a dev shop would charge 500k to build and I can solo it in 1-2 weeks. This is the reality today. The code will pass quality checks, the code doesn’t need to be perfect, it doesn’t need to be cleaver it needs to be.
It’s not difficult to see this right? If an LLM can write English it can write Chinese or python.
Then it can run itself, review itself and fix itself.
The cat is out of bag, what it will do to the economy… I don’t see anything positive for regular people. Write some code has turned into prompt some LLM. My phone can outplay the best chess player in the world, are you telling me you think that whatever unbound model anthropic has sitting in their data center can’t out code you?
What mainstream software product do I use on a day to day basis besides Claude?
The ones that continue to survive all build around a platform of services, MSO, Adobe, etc.
Most enterprise product offerings, platform solutions, proprietary data access, proprietary / well accepted implementation. But lets not confuse it with the ability to clone it, it doesnt seem far fetched to get 10 people together and vibe out a full slack replacement in a few weeks.
A year after the iPhone came out… it didn’t have an App Store, barely was able to play video, barely had enough power to last a day. You just don’t remember or were not around for it.
A year after llms came out… are you kidding me?
Two years?
10 years?
Today, by adding an MCP server to wrap the same API that’s been around forever for some system, makes the users of that system prefer NLI over the gui almost immediately.
People are using these tools to write code, complete tasks, etc. your worry is that what... It will rm -rf /* something?
I am not trying to be funny but the Claude itself is smart enough to catch destructive actions and double check. Its not going to wake up and start eating your machine, googling a random script and running it which what a lot of people do in many cases leads to worse outcomes, here at least you can ask the model what might happen to my computer.
I can recognize the short comings of AI code but it can produce a mock or a full blown class before I can find a place to save the file it produced.
Pretending that we are all busy writing novelty and genius is silly, 99% are writing for CRUD tasks and basic business flows, the code isn’t going to be perfect it doesn’t need to be but it will get the job done.
All the logical gotchas of the work flows that you’d be refactoring for hours are done in minutes.
Use pro with search… are it going to read 200 pages of documentation in 7 minutes come up with a conclusion and validate it or invalidate it in another 5? No you still trying accept the cookie prompt on your 6th result.
You might as well join the flat earth society if you still think that AI can’t help you complete day to day tasks.
We use Coinbase as an org, we were targeted in early Feb 2025. Caught by person handling the accounts who is paranoid enough to reach out to the org contact on the other side.
I run fleets for windows machines, servers, w10, w11, from a Mac.
What Microsoft has done to windows 10 and 11 is ridiculous.
Why is my taskbar still crashing in 2025. Why does opening task manager spike my cpu to 100%. Search its 2025, search still broken. OOBE experience is a joke.
For crying out loud I don’t even care if you make the entire gui rest based and hosted in azure it would perform better than the trash running now.
At this point the Azure management portal has a higher SLA and uptime than my task bar.
