So happy for the name change. Looking forward to the continued use of super intelligence (SI) to replace human devs. Are you still not using Super Intelligence to write all your code? I personally am with Trump here, I will use AI for the field of Artifical Intelligence and SI for the bro tech.

Using an LLM is intellectually easier than writing my own code. There is zero risk that doing the harder thing would make me less capable.

No matter how much you dress up whatever AI service has gaslit you into believing it’s sentient, generative AI is inherently limited, impossibly expensive and economically unviable. And it needs to be ten times larger than it is in less than four years. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-slowing-down/
No matter how much you dress up whatever AI service has gaslit you into believing it’s sentient, generative AI is inherently limited, impossibly expensive and economically unviable. Its services cost too much to run, its progenitors have no path to profitability, and no amount of rigged benchmarks and anecdotal examples of theoretical engineering teams that are “10x’d” can make up for the fact that you can’t measure the cost of an LLM-driven task or its return on investment. 

Anyone claiming that you have to “measure AI’s ROI differently” is attempting to con either you or themselves. While it’s tough to measure the ROI of a particular worker or project, most workers and projects don’t increase your operating expenses by anywhere from 10% to 100% under the vaguest of promises that you might be “doing the future.” AI is calamitously expensive and, despite years of promises of it getting cheaper for both those running AI services and its customers, costs have only ever increased.
It only took a few months of token-based billing for the AI conversation to go from “our magical, beautiful agents” to “hmm, are we sure this is worth it?” and I believe it only gets worse from here. AI labs do not have some super secret trick up their sleeves — no, not even Mythos, that was bullshit I’m afraid — that will suddenly provide the kind of ROI that’s impossible to ignore, nor do they have some magical way to bring down their costs while also spending just as much on compute.

From here, we basically need to 10x every part of the AI stack based on the projections and commitments made by effectively every AI firm. Anthropic and OpenAI must grow faster than any company has ever grown before in the space of a few years, and suddenly become profitable, all while somehow raising hundreds of billions of dollars.

On top of that, we need at least another $250 billion in annual AI compute demand, which likely means at least two other OpenAI or Anthropic-scale companies. If this all sounds unreasonable, don’t blame me. I’m not the stupid fucker that agreed to build 100GW+ of data centers or mortgaged the future of Oracle on the off chance that Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, two craven manipulators, somehow work out how to create Google 2 and Amazon 2 in the space of four fucking years.
