The 'vibecoding' hype is officially hitting a wall. We have passed the peak of inflated expectations regarding AI eliminating all software developers.

David Sacks recently broke down the reality check the tech industry is facing, citing insights from Aaron Levie and Matthew Yglesias. The consensus is shifting: people do not actually want to 'vibe code' their own complex applications.

The real consumer demand is simple. We want professionally managed software companies to leverage AI coding assistants to build better, cheaper products. The translation is straightforward: just lower your prices, do not make the end user vibe code.

While agentic coding is an undeniable boon for professional developers looking to scale their output, and fantastic for beginners learning the ropes, it breaks down when casually building complex software. Casual users are not equipped to take on the ongoing risks of system upgrades, routine maintenance, bugs, and cyber security threats.

Chamath Palihapitiya takes it a step further, calling this casual approach to enterprise software a massive risk rather than just a tax on knowledge workers. He predicts that we will eventually see a public company completely torch its enterprise value because someone tried to vibe code their way out of a problem, leading to inevitable firings.

As Jason Calacanis points out, this is exactly how the technology adoption lifecycle works. The industry is currently moving from the peak of inflated expectations down into the trough of disillusionment. AI agents will eventually climb the slope of enlightenment and become a highly productive standard, but the idea of replacing the entire professional developer workforce overnight was just a phase in the cycle.

LISTEN: Elon Musk explains how the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will give power back to the people:

"They seem to forget the money being spent is YOUR MONEY and if it's not being spent in a way that's beneficial to the American people, it's a misuse of funds."

Meet Sohu, the fastest AI chip of all time.

With over 500,000 tokens per second running Llama 70B, Sohu lets you build products that are impossible on GPUs. One 8xSohu server replaces 160 H100s.

Sohu is the first specialized chip (ASIC) for transformer models. By specializing, we get way more performance: Sohu can’t run CNNs, LSTMs, SSMs, or any other AI models.

Today, every major AI product (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Sora) is powered by transformers. Within a few years, every large AI model will run on custom chips.

Here’s why specialized chips are inevitable:

@IGrabill But did you say thanks!?

Sam Altman is a hero of mine. He built a company from nothing to $90 Billion in value, and changed our collective world forever. I can't wait to see what he does next. I, and billions of people, will benefit from his future work- it's going to be simply incredible. Thank you @sama for all you have done for all of us.

@brianmcc I originally signed up for Glow FM to support Brian and Ride Home Media on 05/09/2020

[George Burnett III @gb3]

@brianmcc Is the Ride Home Premium feed dead now? There hasn't been a new episode since Sept 27.

[George Burnett III @gb3]

@brianmcc @brianmcc It looks to be on the Glow FM side. I've canceled my subscription there (after many years) and re-signed up under Supercast. All is working there as intended.

Brian ... dump Glow FM . Too many issues!

This is the first robot that I've seen that could actually replace many warehouse workers.

Made by the Germans, of course.
