The discernment horizon, loop-driven development, and a wizard’s very defensible pond

Is the golden age of exponential AI growth already flattening out? This week on the Friday Deploy, Ben and Andrew unpack Steve Yegge's "Flat Curve Society" theory to explore what happens when frontier models stop getting exponentially better. The hosts also dive into the evolution of loop-driven development, the value of markdown based local knowledge bases, and why comparing different AI models usually just exposes the flaws in your own prompts. Finally, they review Midjourney's bizarre new echolocation spa concept and explore the true limits of AI disruption through the hilarious allegory of "The Wizard with the Very Defensible Pond."
