I have a hunch that current LLMs might make it easier to launch a brand new programming language, provided you can describe it in a few thousand tokens and ship it with a compiler and linter that coding agents can use simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/7/l...
Could LLMs encourage new programming languages?
My hunch is that existing LLMs make it easier to build a new programming language in a way that captures new developers. Most programming languages are similar enough to existing …

New data on the corporate ROI from generative AI from a large-scale tracking survey by my colleagues at Wharton.
They found that 75% already have a positive return on investment from AI, less than 5% negative. Also 46% of businesses leaders use AI daily. knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/special-repo...

You’re (probably) measuring application performance wrong.
Humans have a strong bias for throughput.

Real capacity engineers use response-time curves.

I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism ("it doesn't work, all hype") we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the acknowledgement that, yes, these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental.

AI/LLMs are a major accessibility technology — being against this technology is to be against advancing human accessibility, and i think there’s a case to be made that it’s borderline ableist

if you're curious about the architecture and mechanics of LLMs, this site has a really excellent explorable interactive visualization. it helps build intuition for how massive these models are, what 'interpretability' means, and the complexity involved here

Saying that we already know everything about LLMs because we know how they work on the lowest level is like saying that we know everything about mathematics by just defining axioms, or that we have computed everything just by inventing CPU.
things we know about LLMs and large DL models in general:
- how they are trained (gradient descent)
- the structure into which they are placed (architecture)
- the base arithmetic (matmul, norm, batch norm, and so on)

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"
I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.
We know exactly how LLMs work.

To reiterate: Pixar's Inside Out 2 is the highest grossing animated film of all time.
Pixar also pushed artists into 7-days-a-week crunch, and right when they were getting to the finish line, laid them off.
These overworked artists lost their bonus, healthcare, and income in SF.
