> Aman (00:12:20) Yeah, I mean I think this is a space that is quite interesting, perhaps quite unique where if you look at previous tech waves, maybe there’s kind of one major thing that happened and it unlocked a new wave of companies, but every single year, every single model capability or jump you get in model capabilities, you now unlock this new wave of features, things that are possible, especially in programming. And so I think in AI programming, being even just a few months ahead, let alone a year ahead makes your product much, much, much more useful. I think the Cursor a year from now will need to make the Cursor of today look obsolete...
One of those things where it seems like they have all the pieces, but are not making one final, crucial conclusion from them. Like, ok, we've got a bigger wave now, what happens eventually to waves?? How could you like be an investor and feel at all reassured by this.
The point where you have to become a True Believer in order to make everything you are working with make sense, be viable, should be the exact point you start to get a little worried about your paycheck.
Those machines regurgitate training data. The Ingestion of that data is something that's firmly situated in the past. The data itself has to be even older, because it needs to exist before training can begin. How can that put you ahead of anything? For some "idea people" logic seems to be an insurmountable challenge. But hey, if I can get someone to invest on those shaky grounds, I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Those who suggest that a hallucinating bullshit generator can replace a software developer don't understand software development one bit. Pun intended.
There will still be those who apply LLMs where they don't belong and cannot possibly succeed. The market will take care of them.

Thank you for summarizing.
