  • I agree with you, it was more of a commentary on “what would happen if we had AGI tomorrow”.

    We’ve been 3 months away from AGI for a few years now and it’s debatable if we’ll ever get there with LLM’s. Looking into the results of AI tests and benchmarks show that they are heavily gamed (tbf, all benchmarks are gamed.) With AI though, there’s so much money involved, it’s ridiculous.

    Fortunately it looks like reality is slowly coming back. Microsoft’s CEO said that something like “AI solutions are not addressing customer problems.” Maybe I’m in a bubble but I feel like overall, people are starting to cool on AI and the constant hype cycle.










  • The best way to learn is to just do it! When I’m starting out with something I generally have a few ideas of basic things I could do with it, generally that’s making simple CRUD apps (when I started using Axum I made a simple API that returns json from a file directory as long as the directory is formatted as: /type/name. Then I went and made a website using vanilla js/html/CSS and made everything run using the backend).

    This second project is great because there’s always something else I could do like auth, like not doing a post and redirect to the same page for updates, like creating dynamic client & employee pages, like using an actual db instead of a script to make CSV files as a db. IMO, THIS is where you learn things.
