Insiders Weekly #4

On LLMs, StackOverflow, and the future of code generation.

Hey folks!

Welcome to another issue of Insiders Weekly, the subscriber-only newsletter where I share my views on recent events in the world of artificial intelligence and computer science.

This week we surpassed 1000 readers! To celebrate, I gave everyone a free 1-month comp, which means that during the next 30 days, you all get the benefits of insiders: these posts, early access to all new content, discussion threads, etc. Of course, paid subscribers also got their subscription extended by 1 month.

I’ll be running this promotion until August 1st, so if you have any friends interested in AI, computer science, and their relation to society, tell them to subscribe for free, and they’ll get the same deal.

In this issue, as usual, I’ll tell you what’s in the oven and the near-term plans. Then I’ll discuss what I found most relevant in the AI news: StackOverflow’s love-hate relationship with LLMs. Let’s get onto it.
