If big companies can't make a net return on their LLM token costs, that doesn't mean it's impossible to. In fact this is exactly what you'd expect to happen with a new technology. Incumbents can't use it well, and are replaced by upstarts who can.
Just experienced the new slippery weather detection behavior in FSD V14.3 for the first time. If the car detects a potential hydroplaning surface, it will limit the vehicle’s speed for safety.
It limited the modes to Standard (or below) and reduced the max allowed speed to 70 mph initially. As the conditions got worse, the max allowed speed was then reduced to 65 mph, and eventually 62 mph. Pretty cool to see it adapt in real time.
If you skip some or all of college to start a startup, it's on you to develop your mind the way college would have. And that's not something that happens by default in most startups.
Sucks for an AI agent to delete the prod DB - with no way to back it up - and risk the complete rental business.
But the blame sits with the dev who decided to delegate decision making to the AI agent, and then not review actions, just YOLO it.
Time for a blameful postmortem...

- push everyone to move faster
- make it crystal clear what to work on
You know, ever since 2003, I have hoped for an Indian performance in the finals which replicates that utter destruction of the Aussie first innings.
I think this might be it.
Self driving Tesla has replaced the iPhone for me as the most transformative technology of the 21st century. The iPhone has had far more impact so far, but I think the self driving Tesla is the most impressive tech creation of the 21st century.
