I’ve spoken to a few course creators now, and we’re all seeing the same trend. Revenue down 50%+. Fewer people engaging with our content. People switching to LLMs, which slurp up all of our work and regurgitate it, without consent or compensation. It feels pretty bleak. 😅

In scenes that are far too reminiscent of a Patricia Highsmith short story for my liking, it turns out that our dishwasher was broken by a slug - yes, a slug - climbing in through the external waste pipe and then sitting on the motherboard.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

The first ‘Copilot’ got coded by a guy at GitHub. Then he got handcuffed by cops for strangling a woman Turns out she wasn’t the first he dated and strangled. Others posted their experience Alex Graveley is his name. He now works at UFO.ai See (1) his face (2) arrest warrant (3) thread on Copilot
Mugshot of Alex (Balabhadra) GraveleyArrest Warrant for Assault Strangulation. 

Here is the graphic description:

Balabhadra pushed [] onto the bed and she stated that she was on her back and Balabhadra got on top of her with his knees holding down her shoulders.
[] said that Balabhadra was squeezing her neck with both of his hands and causing her pain. [] said that the pressured used by Balabhadra was impairing her breathing and she could not breathe for a couple of seconds. [] told officers that she was able to get Balabhadra off of her by hitting and scratching him.

[] stated that after she broke free from Balabhadra they began arguing again in the hallway and Balabhadra grabbed her throat again with both hands and he began squeezing. [] told officers that they were facing each other and the pressure that Balabhadra was applying to her neck was hurting her and making it difficult to breathe. [] was eventually able to break free and she ran into a room downstairs.

When [] went into the downstairs bedroom Balabhadra followed her like before and he used his knees to hold her shoulders down. Balabhadra started to squeeze []’s neck again with both hands, and she was crying. Balabhadra eventually stoped and left the house. 

[] told officers she has pain on her throat, jaw, and shoulders. A thread on YCombinator.com on Alex Graveley’s early work on Copilot.

I work on Copilot now, and I can say this guy is totally full of himself. Just because he contributed to the first prototype does not entitle him to claim creation. He wasn't even the first person inside Microsoft to use LLMs in an IDE completion experience. The work from prototype to product is an order of magnitude more than prototype alone.

Orilly? We had no PM, EM, or designer: I played all those roles for 1.5 years.
I was one of the first to touch the OAI code model. Me and Albert developed the in-the-wild testing harness still in use today. We pulled all nighters to get GitHub approved for participation in the MSFT-OpenAl deal using those test results.
Existing Microsoft AI teams worked to halt our work, pushing their own small, worse models instead of OpenAl's.
I protoyped and lobbied for creation of the VScode extension. I invented and hacked the ghost text prototype into VScode, I invented the block based termination and implemented all the tree-sitter based logic needed to do it. Then I had to lobby up to Satya to get Scode to implement proper support in less than 6 months.
I named it Copilot.

Not sure what your main point is here. You deliberately chose a movie for your metaphor where a main character says: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." Should that truly amazing park stay open for the public?

Interesting to see Steve Yegge say he never successfully built anything with Gas Town. I mentioned not finding these super vibed orchestrators useful because the reliability was too low (w.r.t. completing non-trivial tasks). Turns out the author of the most famous one had the exact same issue.
Gas Town was intended to be reusable, but I only ever wound up using it to build itself. Gas Town fell apart at the seams with Opus 4.7. Up through 4.6 it was working brilliantly. With 4.7 we saw the introduction of the "just two more things" tic, which prevented Opus from ever converging on being ready to do real work—it always wanted to fiddle with Gas Town itself. The Opus tic never went away, so Gas Town effectively burned down. It had other problems, too, but 4.7 was the final straw.

Since Claude Fable 5 dropped, I have returned full-time to my 30-year-old video game, Wyvern, which I began work on in 1996, and launched in 2001. I had been waiting for a model smart enough to help me with my game, and now that it's here, Wyvern's once again my main squeeze. On the side I do occasional six-figure gigs where I fly to companies and teach them my techniques, and that helps with my (considerable) token bills. But aside from those few paid field trips, I am laser-focused on my game, seven days a week. Wyvern's time will finally come next year. I have officially entered Sam Altman's solo unicorn contest.
