Guy works for the Overture Map Foundation, with Amazon, Microsoft etc. being sponsors. He has been boosting AI all over the Internet. I'm sure Microslop and Amazon are very happy with these efforts.
I'm glad that "10 ways to do X" submissions are allowed as long as they boost AI.
Are you suggesting that Microsoft and Amazon's sponsorship of Overture comes with an understanding that people who work on Overture will spend their time writing articles that "boost AI"?
Does "boosting AI" include opening an article with "Frontier models are really good at coding these days, much better than they are at other tasks"?
Can't speak for the former, but the latter question: yes.
"Product is really good at X, much better than at Y" does not imply that it's bad at Y, and even if it did, if you're targeting an audience that only cares about X, who gives a shit about Y? Might as well throw Y under the bus to boost the perceived effectiveness of product at X even more in comparison.
How is that not boosting AI? It's certainly not denigrating it
I read it as mild denigration, because the AI companies would very much like you to believe that agentic AI works great for everything beyond code.
