Wish more AI bros would read this.

Why? This is a trash article that basically says "I don't care how much more productive you claim to be with AI, you are a faulty narrator and falling into a physiological trap. Any reports or experience on success with AI should be completely ignored. Don't even look at AI until the bigger smarter science people evaluate it for us simple folk."

Fun note, someone on Bsky pointed out that this piece is a kind of sequel to an earlier piece by the same author titled (and I am not making this up) "React, Electron, and LLMs have a common purpose: the labour arbitrage theory of dev tool popularity."

I'm opposed to what we colloquially call 'Tech bros' in general. I think that a lot of the commercialisation of tech has been damaging, overhyped and AI has every likelyhood of following that pattern, But the article was a bad argument. It starts with some truisms: we're all prone to psychological mistakes and blows it out to "logically we should sit on our hands until science tells us its safe. Whatever you do, never try to figure anything out yourself". That's just dumb. I'm not saying that he doesn't have a point just that its strenuously overstated.
