I love LLMs, I hate hype: A developer's take on AI progress

I love LLMs, I hate hype

I am thrilled by the rapid progress in AI, from new LLMs to self-driving cars and coding agents. However, I reject the fear-mongering about an impending doom or the idea that only a select few in San Francisco will benefit. AI is a continuation of the computer revolution driven by Moore's law, not a magic trick by frontier labs. While models boost productivity like compilers did, they are tools to be mastered, not a replacement for human skill.
