This took about 4 months as a hobby project; I don't know how much of that was work and how much was "waiting for the next model", probably a mix of both.
Since this ended up on Hacker News, I'll say it: I find the discourse around LLMs strangely sad. They're annoying, yes, and they make mistakes every day, every hour. But they're also amazing, and working with them has been one of the most rewarding things I've done in years.
Historically things that make people more productive have tended to make us richer, not poorer. And it's a virtue to change your mind as the evidence comes in.
We played with Lego all our lives; now the Lego understands us and helps us build. I think that's something to be glad about.
You're putting the cart before the horse in various ways. Saying "it's a virtue to change your mind" implies you're already at the correct solution, and everyone who disagrees with you is wrong.
They may find out in a month or in a year that the opinion they hold today was wrong and change their mind again. The statement would still be true.
I'm not judging the statement on its own, but within the context of their post, it's clear that it reflects their assessment of their own position on LLMs vs everyone else.
It is a virtue to change your mind, but using it in that context reveals something else.
are you asking why people who enjoy playing with legos would be unhappy about automating away playing with legos? strange choice of analogy
More like automating the assembling of Lego.
Some people enjoy building the Death Star or other big sets, or build their own Eiffel Tower.
Some other people just would like to have a Lego Eiffel Tower without having to assemble it themselves I guess.
