My dad has it really bad because he worked in a nightclub in his twenties. He would say it's like a jumbojet idling its engines nearby, all the time.
It's thanks to him that I started taking ear protection seriously.

We do, it's known as the halfalogue and has been found to be more distracting/annoying. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20817912/
It's also why calls/online meetings are banned in many coffeeshops in Japan.
This made me chuckle. I do think we are seeing exponential improvements over the years and that we don't always notice it happening because we're right in it.
Prices per token are dropping roughly 10x per year for the same quality of model. Bills are going up because AI agents use way more tokens per task, not because the models cost more. The losses come from training new models and buying hardware, not from selling tokens too cheap (Anthropic's inference margins are estimated somewhere in the 60–80% range).

I sure hope they weren't referring to Siri here
Except that you can't actually delegate since connectors and tools are not supported.
Any chance you would elaborate?
> The AI will have gone off the rails multiple times and you will only notice it later when you actually try to use the software.
Except that said AI can now themselves use your software and find and fix bugs themselves, not to mention drive new features.
>Your agent might go “off the rails” and start doing something you don’t want it to do
This happens but far less often than it used to, and the case for full autonomous agents is getting stronger, not weaker.
>It is humanly impossible to build your own understanding of a codebase
This again feels outdated. I think we're mving towards humans no longer needing to understand a codebase, and letting AI drive it.
