Translation: His company will launch "AI" products in order to get funding or better compete with Valkey.

I find it very sad that people who have been really productive without "AI" now go out of their way to find small anecdotal evidence for "AI".

I find it even more sad when people come out of the woodwork on every LLM post to tell us that our positive experiences using LLMs are imagined and we just haven’t realized how bad they are yet.

If LLMs were actually useful, there would be no need to scream it everywhere. On the contrary: it would be a guarded secret.

In my experience, devs generally aren't secretive about tools they find useful.

People are insane, you can artificially pine for the simpler betters times made up in your mind when you could give oracle all your money.

But I would stake my very life on the fact that the movement by developers we call open-source is the single greatest community and ethos humanity has ever created.

Of course it inherits from enlightenment and other thinking, it doesn't exist in a vacuum, but it is an extension of the ideologies that came before it.

I challenge anyone to come up with any single modern subcultures that has tangibly generated more that touches more lives, moves more weight, travels farther, effects humanity more every single day from the moment they wake up than the open source software community (in the catholic sense obviously).

Both in moral goodness and in measurable improvement in standard of living and understanding of the universe.

Some people's memories are very short indeed, all who pine pine for who they imagined they were and are consumed by a memetic desire of their imagined selves.
