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.

Some people got into coding to code, rather than build things.

If the AI is doing the coding then that is a threat to some people. I am not sure why, LLMs can be good and you can enjoy coding...those things are unrelated. The logic seems to be that if LLMs are good then coding is less fun, lol.

Software jobs pay more than artist jobs because coding builds things. You can still be a code artist on your own time. Nobody is stopping you from writing in assembler.

And chess players stream as their primary income, because there's no money in Chess unless you're exactly the best player in the world (and even then the money is coming from sponsors/partners, not from chess itself).
