The one comment I have here is that you may be overlooking the impact LLMs will have on the tech sector.

Basically Homeless just created a wasp-shooting real-world first-person shooter machine with high speed, accuracy, and strength motors, controllers, etc, controlled via Python, using Claude with little knowledge of how to do the hardware or software.

The productivity aspects, especially among those who go through the education system from this day forward, will be forever changed. There are already plenty of developers who wouldn't give up what they now have access to. Despite the black hole of money it is now, power and wealth will come over time.

... Is homeless a company? Are we talking about a video game.. a robot... White Anglo Saxon Protestants... What?

Also how does this relate to LLMs?

IIRC, "Basically Homeless" is the name of some content creator and/or YouTube channel.

Yea, I figured using a proper noun would give a clue, but oh well.

I don't have access to it at work. I like what I am able to do with with my own license of Jet brains ai, but it still leaves a lot to be desired.
