is writing itself 🤯 Did it go sentient?! Ofc no. It's AI to solve tickets. I give it tickets and it opens PRs with the solutions. The % of its code that is written 'by itself' is going up fast. Robots improving themselves. We're there! 🦾🤖🏁

@GergelyOrosz almost anything that requires 1. mid level of creativity and/or 2. text processing, can be sped up having an llm around (no properly crafted products, literally just access to an llm). Think: copy content creation litigation legal research data analysis & insights anything

@twofifteenam we're definitely getting faster python! 3.11 was pretty focused on performance enhancements and 3.13 is supposed to actually drop the GIL and present a just-in-time compiler (FAST STUFF)

Because what they see is that it's harder to get rich quick from it, and that's their only barometer of success. The whole idea that a platform could have social value far beyond the revenue it brings in literally does not compute.
