Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I think this summarizes in one conversation what is so fucking irritating about this thing: I am supposed to believe that it wrote that code.

No siree, no RAG, no trickery with training a model to transform the code while maintaining identical expression graph, it just goes from word-salading all over the place on a natural language task, to outputting 100 lines of coherent code.

Although that does suggest a new dunk on computer touchers, of the AI enthusiast kind, you can point at that and say that coding clearly does not require any logical reasoning.

(Also, as usual with AI it is not always that good. sometimes it fucks up the code, too).

@HedyL @diz I kinda wonder if this would work better if it just was worded the other way round: "must be supervised always"
If I understand correctly, LLMs have difficulties encoding negative correlations (not, un-, ...)

Edit: or maybe not, seeing it did this transformation already in the introduction and still lets the dog escape on the very first turn

That is not equivalent, though; other solutions to "can not be left unattended" exist; just ask Kristi Noem.

@diz OK, that would have prevented any escape 🙃
