2025/09/17

AI coding agents face the same fundamental limitation as parallel computing: Amdahl's Law. Just as 10 cooks can't make soup 10x faster, 10 AI agents can't code 10x faster due to inherent sequential bottlenecks.📚 Key ConceptsThe Soup AnalogyMultiple cooks can divide tasks (prep, boiling water, etc.)But certain steps MUST be sequential (can't stir before ingredients are in)Adding more cooks hits diminishing returns quicklyPerfect metaphor for parallel processing limitsAmdahl's Law

how Gen.AI companies combine narrow ML components behind conversational interfaces to simulate intelligence. Each agent component (text generation, context management, tool integration) has direct non-ML equivalents. API access bypasses the deceptive UI layer, providing better determinism and utility. Optimal usage requires abandoning open-ended interactions for narrow, targeted prompting focused on pattern recognition tasks where these systems actually deliver value.🔥 Hot Course Offers:🤖 Master

Episode Notes: The Wizard of AI: Unmasking the Smoke and MirrorsSummaryI expose the reality behind today's "AI" hype. What we call AI is actually generative search and pattern matching - useful but not intelligent. Like the Wizard of Oz, tech companies use smoke and mirrors to market what are essentially statistical models as sentient beings.Key PointsCurrent AI technologies are statistical pattern matching systems, not true intelligenceThe term "artificial intelligence" is misleading - these are
