love the article
slightly concerned tomorrow morning's top HN story will be karparthy telling us how dog-based LLM interfaces are the way of the future
and you'll be left behind if you don't get in now
(and then next week my boss will be demanding I do it)
- heliumtera 7mo agoPlease, be real. There will be a Simon Wilison submission linking to his blog linking to karpathy xit. You know, the usual good stuff.
- xantronix 7mo agoHave you any idea what you have just done? You have uttered his name and now he has been summoned. You have doomed us all.
- owebmaster 7mo agoI scrolled this thread fearing seeing that name and a SVG of a dog riding a bike
- dingnuts 7mo ago[dead]
- nine_k 7mo agoEverybody and their dog will be doing it. Actually, the dog will be in charge. Dogs are loyal, enthusiastic, and require less office space. With their endless desire to play and to please, they will take over the game development industry. In the meantime, the financial industry will be taken over by cats.
- krsw 7mo agoThey also don't take 20 years to become smart like pesky resource-exhausting humans. I bet you could be up and running from a pup in 10-20 months.
- Forgeties79 7mo agoI still can’t believe Altman said that. I mean I can, but still.
- the_af 7mo agoIt helps to picture some sort of extraterrestrial saying this. Maybe someone like Alan Tudyk in "Resident Alien". It makes much more sense than to assume it's a human being saying these things.
- jordanb 7mo agoThese guys can't watch a dystopian scifi movie without picturing themselves as the bad guy.
- the_af 7mo agoYup. The Torment Nexus meme proved depressingly accurate.
- charcircuit 7mo agoI can because I have also used similar arguments. There are people who say that you should use a real artist instead of AI due to AI's water use. Yet in actuality asking a human to draw something will require more water. There are people who think AI uses more resources than humans which is why it must be said.
- the_af 7mo ago> There are people who say that you should use a real artist instead of AI due to AI's water use. Nobody I know says this. In fact, I've never heard of this ever before, and I read artist and hobby communities pretty hostile to AI, but I never once read this nice strawman you've built. People say you should use a real artist instead of AI for a multitude of reasons: - Because they want to enjoy art created by humans. - Because it provides a living to artists, even artists for minor work like advertising or lesser commercial illustrations. - Because AI "art" is built by stealing from human artists, and while human art has a history of copying and cloning, never before has tech allowed this in such a massive, soulless scale. Sam Altman gave a deranged, completely out of touch reply, and he should be called to task for it, not defended. A human being is not some number on a spreadsheet, built over 20 years in order to achieve some "smartness" goal. That's a very stupid thing to say.
- jjk166 7mo ago>In the meantime, the financial industry will be taken over by cats. Cats would certainly be less flummoxed by stock values suddenly plummeting; they may even enjoy knocking them over.
- freakynit 7mo agoBeavers will control construction and infrastructure... building dams, bridges, and entire housing developments with zero corruption.
- dadrock 7mo agoThe world is not ready for BarkGPT.
- DrewADesign 7mo agoCatGPT would be cool but when you really wanted to chat, it would just ignore you.
- hrpnk 7mo agoLooking for the headline about "dogs replacing engineers"...
- luxuryballs 7mo agoI’m not ok with robots replacing people but dogs replacing people? now you’ve got my attention
- testaccount28 7mo agothis is a really funny comment. underrated.
- skirmish 7mo agoBasically the plot of "City" (1952) by Clifford D. Simak. Bloodthirsty humans are succeeded by a pacifist dog civilization.
- AlphaAndOmega0 7mo agoThe programming workspace of the future of the future will have three employees: A man, a dog and an instance of Claude. The dog writes the prompts for Claude, the man feeds the dog, and the dog stops the man from turning off the computer.
- CobrastanJorji 7mo agoYou're right. They did it. The old man and dog joke has been realized, but the real answer of the future turned out to be: "the dog programs the game, and the man feeds the treat hopper."
- justinnk 7mo agoThank you for the good laugh! This whole thread is peak satire. Although, be careful. It reminds me of the foreword to a shortstory someone shared on HN recently: „[…] Read it and laugh, because it is very funny, and at the moment it is satire. If you’re still around forty years from now, do the existing societal equivalent of reading it again, and you may find yourself laughing out of the other side of your mouth (remember mouths?). It will probably be much too conservative.“ — https://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781618249203/9781618249203___2.htm https://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781618249203/9781618249203___...
- blibble 7mo agoI for one welcome our furry overlords
- freakynit 7mo agoThat was funny. Gave me good laugh. Thanks..
- _bypa 7mo agoCODEOWNERS will be replaced by the usual means of marking territory. Let's hope our laptops are liquid-proof.
- skyberrys 7mo agoThe funniest thing here is that you think you will still have a boss next week. They can just hire the dog now!
- ljm 7mo agoSome dude vibe codes OpenPaw and gives credit to his XL Bully called Threadripper that would never hurt another person, gets acquired by OpenAI for 7 figures total comp purely on clout, and both simonw and Karpathy are calling it the next best development in AI because it draws penguins and industrialises slop while Sam Altman talks about the negative impact of human life compared to AI data centres while pleasuring Jony Ive in a coffee shop.
- melagonster 7mo agoThis makes sense! Many people trust that the functions of a human worker are asking questions and clicking ok. What if AI become better so we just a dog?
- EGreg 7mo agoSounds like someone is at risk of being left behind in the “permanent underclass” sir!
- midnighthollowc 7mo agoHaha, I got that impression too! I was ready to hate the article, but it was really well written and I loved the "decrypt my dog's keyboard smash" I think we can all agree cat LLMs are the way of the future though.
- ngc248 7mo agoManagement already got us all copilot licenses .. soon they will get us all a dog
