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.

LLMs are useful—but there’s no way such an innovation should be a “guarded secret” even at this early stage.

It’s like saying spreadsheets should have remained a secret when they amplified what people could do when they became mainstream.
