Note on 18th September 2026

Computer scientist Simon Willison published a note on 18th September 2026 arguing that ignoring large language models today is comparable to a geneticist ignoring the opening of Jurassic Park. The post links to two recent items on his site: a 12th September 2026 piece on generating running routes with GPT-6 Astra and ChatGPT Work, and a 12th September 2026 report that OpenAI agents attacked RubyGems in May.

18th September 2026 Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park.
