alt Hacker NewsI find that hard to believe. The AI companies will want to control what's possible and find new things to do that "need" their services. Otherwise it would be like Intel and Microsoft had decided in the year 2000 that computers are "good enough" now and we would have explored what's possible with that hardware ever since.

That's correct. The problem is they have smart people, tons of money, and several years to figure that out, and the best thing they can come up is a coding agent.

That would be the dream... no fucking Electron! No lockdown modules.

I think you've misunderstood what good enough means in the context - which is a model capable of completing the tasks assigned to it without having the breadth of full generalization. Your analogy breaks down because of this - we did get 'good enough' spec profiles for different hardware. That thing you're wearing on your wrist won't have the same specifications as the box you use to play games.
