“The advantages of this technology are not equally distributed.”

On this latest Aboard Podcast, Paul and Rich discuss the findings of a recent CircleCI report on enterprise teams using LLMs. Just 5% of orgs are seeing real gains from these tools, while the majority struggle with errors, bugs, and lower productivity.

"Either you were not serious about your pitch then, or something is missing now. But the contradiction is too big."

On the latest Aboard Podcast, The New Yorker's Andrew Marantz talks about his big piece on Sam Altman—and how Altman's supposed desire for AI to be well-regulated doesn't match his actions.

"There’s a pattern I keep seeing in software development, and I think it points to where we are headed in our AI future," writes Paul. "I call it the 'good loop.' The good loop is actually kind of anti-AI in some ways, in that it doesn’t see AI as the solution; it sees it more as a useful provocation. It’s a subtle framing, so it’s going to require a big, long thought experiment involving cookies." https://buff.ly/ljwTJ6A

"The fact that we're throwing around concepts like 'AGI dictator' with even a 5% shred of possibility—that has meaning attached to it in a real sense—is insane."

On the latest Aboard Podcast, New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz discusses his big piece on Sam Altman, and how he's thinking about the Musk v Altman trial.

"I’ll make a big, weird prediction," writes Paul. "Software development is not going away, and there will be tons of software people in the future. However, software development in the future will be less and less about coding and deploying software. The machines are going to take that over. Instead, it’ll be more and more about cataloging and identifying good loops between generative systems and verification systems, then implementing and testing those loops." https://buff.ly/ljwTJ6A

What’s wrong with Sam Altman? Ask the guy who spent 18 months reporting on him.

On this week’s Aboard Podcast, Paul and Rich sit down with The New Yorker's Andrew Marantz, who recently put out a lengthy article on the OpenAI chief that he co-reported with Ronan Farrow.

If AI really is as powerful as Altman claims it will someday be, why are we allowing one person to have that much power over it? https://buff.ly/VgLZVQT

You always know it's going to be a great conversation when Rich tells Paul: "No more computer for you."

On the latest Aboard Podcast, a conversation about the things Paul's been vibe-coding recently—and why he should touch grass (flowers): https://buff.ly/nx0GWum

"The New York Times Opinion section recently got in touch and asked me if I felt AI companies could be good," writes Paul. "I told them I didn’t believe they could—not because I think AI is inherently evil, but because I don’t believe that a single company at a very large scale can have one, consistent ethical vision." https://buff.ly/mfwi99S

On the latest Aboard Podcast, Paul walks Rich through the robust newsletter-generation tool he recently built with AI.

In response, Rich asks: "Do you think that in 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 4 years from now, that someone without your technical know how will be able to do this?"

"We’ve been thinking about 'how will we deal with intelligent machines' for decades," writes Paul. "But what we haven’t been thinking about is, 'when intelligence simulators can make content that we consume, what will generate new thoughts and discourse?'" https://buff.ly/mfwi99S

What does it take to make a really good product with AI tools?

On this week’s podcast, Paul walks Rich through his recent adventures building a robust aggregated newsletter tool.

Vibe-coding platforms continue to evolve, but you still need a lot of technical knowledge to make something that really works. Will that bar get lower soon?
