In 2023, we spent $3,934,099 on AWS + other hosting. In 2026, our hosting + support bill is down to ~$1m/year due to the cloud exit. Even including all the hardware buying, we will already have saved ~$4m by the end of this year. And going forward, it's ~$3m/yr in savings 🤑

Unlike Bob, I review all code generated by agents. Test coverage and similar metrics will give me confidence of functionality, but they offer me no confidence whatsoever that those agents have not introduced vulnerabilities, that they have not introduced dead code that will diminish understandability in the future, that they have missed factorizations that would have significant impact upon performance. Trust but verify. As an experienced developer, I know the smell of what is good and what is not. And no agent has either the experience or the context to know those things. If you want to be sloppy and fast then I suggest you proceed with Bob’s advice.

How long do you think the AI companies will subsidize its usage? Now, they get meta-tons of training data. When they have enough your typical 200$/mo program will jump to 2000$/mo.

@LiorOnAI All these are really useful, but it is productization of the models. Not real innovative. Brute force approach. Love them, cannot argue with that though.

Grady Booch@Grady_Booch·
I am reminded of AlphaGo's move 37, an action that was completely unexpected yet sublime. Matthew is right to be impressed by his collaboration with Claude: in the hands of a expert in a domain, tools such as it are quite useful The operative words here are "collaborate" and "tool" and "domain expert". Read his report and you'll find that this was indeed a vibrant back and forth between an expert and a tool, a domain expert who could quickly discern right from wrong, an expert who could direct the tool not unlike a seasoned surgeon can feel the texture of an organ as she moves a scalpel over it. Here's the parallel to AlphaGo: in both cases, we have an AI that is unrestrained by history or tradition; in both cases AlphaGo and Claude have at their disposal a massive network that has been unexplored by human minds, and so in the right hands, a human can quickly follow paths that yield new mountaintops and placid new valleys. Are these things AGI or even a path to it? Are they capable or reasoning or understanding? No. Absolutely not. But - in the words of Steve Jobs - they are a bicycle for the mind.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

This is really how the AI era will go as it seems. We have to work on this problem.

It seems that google reduced the pro plan to a few (1-2) hours of coding. Just made the plan unusable for this task.

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@beffjezos xAI was not built right first time around, so is being rebuilt from the foundations up. Same thing happened with Tesla.
