Like you, I'm sick to the back teeth of talking about AI. Like you, I keep getting dragged into AI discussions. Unlike you‡, I spent the summer writing a book on why I'm sick of AI⹋, which @fsgbooks will publish in 2026.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
You know all those arguments that LLMs think like humans? Turns out it's not true.
🧠 In our paper "From Tokens to Thoughts: How LLMs and Humans Trade Compression for Meaning" we test it by checking if LLMs form concepts the same way humans do @ylecun@ChenShani2@jurafsky
