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.

So ironic that you post this on Hacker News, where there are regularly articles and blog posts about lessons from the industry, both good and bad, that would be helpful to competitors. This industry isn’t exactly Coke guarding its secret recipe.
