  • Say it ain't so

  • so? someone invented current llms too. Nothing like them existed before either. If they vibe coded with them they'd still be producing slop.

    Coding an llm is very very easy. What's not easy is having all the data, hardware and cash to train it.

  • given that expert systems are pretty much just a big ball of if-then statements, then he might be considered to have written the app. Just with way more extra steps.

  • exactly, you can only really verify the code if you were capable of writing it in the first place.

    And it's an old well known fact that reading code is much harder than writing it.

  • the "target" is to get useful software out. The ai is the tool. In this example, the ai is the gun. It is the tool used to achieve the goal.

    Anyone can make an improvised hammer. Stick a rock or a piece of metal on a stick. But that doesn't make them carpenters, even though they made their own tools.

  • and he stil wouldn't understand its output. Because as we clearly see, he doesn't even try to look at it.

  • Say it ain't so

    Jump

  • So? Some of the people pushing out ai slop would be perfectly capable of writing their own llm out of widely available free tools. Contrary to popular belief, they are not complex pieces of software, just extremely data hungry. Does not mean they magically understand the code output by the llm when it spits out something.

    Jump

  • yes. Because that would still mean they didn't code the app.

  • if they build software using mainly ai generated code, then they are a bad coder

  • We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

  • also, you can make computers much more cheap and reliable, more maintainable and much much faster, if you protect them from space radiation by operating them down here, under the protection of earth's atmosphere.

  • very stupid. One of the most difficult things in space is cooling stuff. Sending up a bunch of space heaters in a box (almost all of the energy pumped into a computer is turned into heat. The actual computatiion takes next to nothing in comparison) is definitely not a good idea. Definitely not one thought up by a technical person.

  • there's lots of handwavy things. They even said they "discovered new physics" to explain some disappointing (perfectly predictable, by other established nuclear physicists) results. "Oh the physics equation was wrong, we just need to make everything 25% bigger".

    Also, the emitted radiation levels will be insane once it's scaled up

  • the ones that give up on all the "desirable" aspects of cryptocurrencies? The payment isn't final until it is on chain. You don't need to trust anyone to figure out if you're on the right chain in the first place. Off-chain shit defeats this. What's the point, other than dressing up the horse before beating it some more?
