The Duomo in Florence took multiple generations to build. Took them forever to figure out how to build a roof for the thing. Would you want to be a builder who focuses your whole life on building a house you can't live in because it has no roof? Or would you simply be proud to be taking part in getting to help lay the foundation for something that'll one day be great?
That's my dream.
- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoWell, I'm just commenting on the utilty of LLMs, as they exist today, for my (and other related) uses cases. No doubt there will be much better AI-based tools in the future, but I'd argue that if you want to accelerate that future then rather than applying what's available today, it'd make more sense to help develop more capable AI that can be applied tomorrow.
- pama 3y agoWe need the full pipeline of tools. What jart did is helping the future users of AI gain familiarity early.
