Doesn't even matter. The capabilities of the AI that's out NOW will take a decade or more to digest.

I feel like it's already been pretty well digested and excreted for the most part, now we're into the re-ingestion phase until the bubble bursts.

I am tech founder, who spends most of my day in my own startup deploying LLM-based tools into my own operations, and I'm maybe 1% of the way through the roadmap I'd like to build with what exists and is possible to do today.

100% this. The rearrangement of internal operations has only started and there is just sooo much to do.

What has your roadmap to do with the capabilities?

LLMs still hallucinate and make simple mistakes.

And the progress seams to be in the benchmarks only

The parent was contradicting the idea that the existing AI capabilities have already been "digested". I agree with them btw.

> And the progress seams to be in the benchmarks only

This seems to be mostly wrong given peoples' reactions to e.g. o3 that was released today. Either way, progress having stalled for the last year doesn't seem that big considering how much progress there has been for the previous 15-20 years.

How do you know they are possible to do today? Errors gets much worse at scale, especially when systems starts to depend on each other, so it is hard to say what can be automated and not.

Like if you have a process A->B, automating A might be fine as long as a human does B and vice versa, but automating both could not be.

What sort of things have you found the tech most useful for?
