Stephen Balaban says generating human code doesn't even make sense anymore. Software won't get written. It'll be prompted into existence and "behave like code." This is neural software: Every pixel generated, not rendered. Every function summoned. It'll feel like Star Trek.

“Where we’re going, we won’t need any software at all.” -Stephen Balaban on TBPN

I am very tired of this complete hype. We are nowhere near that point today. Persuade enough people otherwise and crash and burn into a new AI winter.

Anyone who’s programmed a project over 10 classes large knows this is not true.

This is an insanely dumb take by someone who eithe (a) never actually write software or (b) sells AI cloud compute (well whadayaknow) I was implementing a non-trivial landing page design the other day and it’s hilarious how bad LLMs are even at that, let alone things like native

How about LLM engineers? We need them to create better models, don’t we?

he is writing stupid code then.

Half of all software companies will not survive AI.

first get the runner to read the docs at the url i paste into its context.

Time to be a leader, not just a follower..
