Well, I’m happy just to make half baked slop for myself. Highly personalized software that is poorly implemented and yet yields the result I desire.

E.g. software that generates these models that I can print

Or blog post authoring software

There were so many things that no one will ever study and won’t give humanity any benefit but I use everyday to make my life better. That’s enough. The value far exceeds $200/mo. I’m getting it for cheap and now that I have my GPUs and my models they can’t even take it from me in the future if they wanted, haha!

LLMs allow for human flourishing on a massive scale. One of the best inventions to occur in my life. Up there with the Internet/Web. Truly a marvelous time.

Agreed. I haven’t been this excited by computers since I got broadband DSL in 1998.


i consider it as a very specialized subset (subgenre) of video games for a very narrow audience


You know how non-coders basically build crazy business apps in Excel? LLMs, even if they don't get any better, seem at least 10x more useful than Excel. Why do you say it's for a narrow audience?


i meant people who enjoy the idea of software even if they don’t necessarily need or enjoy the resulting software itself. it’s possible that some of the spreadsheet hacking has a similar flavor but lacks the natural language hook.
