Look at those people shouting this will be AGI / total disruption etc. Seems Elon managed one thing; to amass the dumbest folks together. 99.99% maga, crypto and almost markov chain quality comments.

- ImHereToVote 1y agoMaybe this won't be. How long do you think a machine will be able to outdo any human in any given domain? I personally think it will be after they are able to rewrite their own code. You?
- owebmaster 1y ago> I personally think it will be after they are able to rewrite their own code. My threshold is when it can create a new Google
- ImHereToVote 1y agoWhy not putting it earlier than that. Why not starting and running it's own LLC. I would think when that LLC is bigger than Google it might already be obvious.
- kasey_junk 1y agoThey write their own code now so how long will it be?
- ImHereToVote 1y agoThey "can" write parts of it. But they can't rewire the weights. They are learned not coded.
- Fade_Dance 1y agoSeems like this will be one of the areas that will improve with multi-agentic AI, where groups of agents can operate via consensus, check/test outputs, manage from a higher meta level, etc. Not that any of that would be "magic" but the advantages of expanding laterally to that approach seem fairly obvious when it comes to software development. So in my eyes actually think it's probably more to do with reducing the cost of AI inference by another order of magnitude, at least when it comes to mass market tools. Existing basic code-generation tools from a single AI are already fairly expensive to run compute wise.

- elif 1y agoYour contrary certainty has the same humorously over-confident tone.
- perching_aix 1y agoWhich is how and why these political strategies work so well.
- AaronAPU 1y agoIt’s incredible how few people can see their own reflection.

- thm 1y ago99% of AI influencers are the same people who emailed you pictures as a Word attachment a year ago.
- torginus 1y agoThis is what put me off Claude Code. When I wanted. To dig in, I tried to watch a few Youtube videos to see an expert's opinion it, and 90% people who talk about it feel like former crypto shills, who, from their channel history, seem like have never written a single line of code without AI in their lives.
- plemer 1y agoI get it, but have you reviewed high-quality sources or actually tried the product? Association fallacy: “You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler.”
- haneul 1y agoAs someone who doesn't keep track of the influencer scene at the moment because I am way addicted to building... You should totally give Claude Code a try. The biggest problem is that it is glaze-optimized, so have to work at getting it to not treat you like the biggest genius of all time. But when you manage to get in a good flow with it, and your project is very predictably searchable, results start to be quite helpful, even if just to unstuck yourself when you're in a rut.
- reactordev 1y agoThis. Claude Code was the only one to be able to grok my 20 year old C++ codebase so that I could update things deep in it's bowels to make it compile because I neglected it on a thumb drive for 15 years. I had no mental model of what was going on. Claude built one in a few minutes.
- torginus 1y agoI will try it. I did use Cursor agents beforehand (using Sonnet/Opus 4), and my problems were that it was slower than I was (meaning me prompting AI), and was not good enough to leave it unattended.
- shiandow 1y agoI'll believe in AGI when OpenAI stops paying human developers.
- brookst 1y agoI don’t see how this follows. Does AGI mean that it is free to operate and has no hardware / power constraints? The fact that I see people being paid to dig a trench does not make me doubt the existence of trenching machines. It just means that the tool is not always the best choice for every job.
- rvz 1y ago> Does AGI mean that it is free to operate and has no hardware / power constraints? It is that and an autonomous system that can generate $100BN dollars in profits. (OpenAI and Microsoft's definition of AGI) So maybe when we see a commercial airplane with no human pilots on board but an LLM piloting the plane with no intervention needed? Would you board such a plane?
- brookst 1y agoExtreme rhetoric weakens arguments. Would you let Albert Einstein perform open heart surgery on you? AHA! Maybe he wasn’t that smart.
- graycat 1y agoAGI???? Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time: (1) Given triangle ABC, by means of Euclidean construction find point D on line AB and point E on line BC so that the lengths |AD| = |DE| = |EC. (2) Given triangle ABC, by means of Euclidean construction inscribe a square so that each corner of the square is on a side of the triangle. Come ON AGI, let's have some RESULTS that human general intelligence can do -- gee, I solved (1) in the 10th grade.
- threatripper 1y agoWe have to wait and test it ourselves to see how far it gets in our daily tasks. If the improvement continues like it did in the past, that would be pretty far. Not quite a full researcher position but an average student assistant for sure.

- swat535 1y agoWasn't Sam Altman claiming AGI is just a couple of years away and OpenAI is at the forefront of it?
