Oh the irony: "They Live", a movie famously about alienation and dehumanization, and you let AI do all the coding.
- xnx 5mo agoInteracting with a computer in natural language is much more human than typing in special codes and punctuation.
- deng 5mo agoSo telling someone to make a table for you is more human than making it yourself, because you're using natural language instead of saws and hand planes?
- GCUMstlyHarmls 5mo agoI would say yes, conversing between two humans, maybe even collaborating, is more human than a solitary human using inanimate objects.
- anthk 5mo agoEven if the table collapses down badly instead of doing a proper one with a good set of tools?
- tclancy 5mo agoHave you seen me work?
- spacebacon 5mo agoI can't know how To hear anymore about tables
- HeatrayEnjoyer 5mo agoBut the extension works, not "collapses down badly."
- spacebacon 5mo agoBasket weaving is more human than conversation. Language is entry level artificial man.

- gchamonlive 5mo ago> telling someone to make a table for you is more human than making it yourself That's a bad comparison. You have to compare crafting a table manually to doing it via CNC.
- ok_dad 5mo agoYes, I build furniture for my wife’s designs. Without her my furniture wouldn’t exist. I’m the LLM in this case, capable of building things but not furniture design.
- robotresearcher 5mo agoCommissioning a craftsman you respect to make custom furniture to your taste and specifications sounds human enough to me.
- speed_spread 5mo agoThe human world is full of special codes and obscure gestures that only have meaning if provided in the right sequence to the right people. Computer programming being documented and formalized makes it more accessible than many social circles.
- sph 5mo agoImagine writing this comment on 2013 Hacker News with a straight face.
- dang 5mo agoWhat if it wouldn't get done otherwise? (Genuine question as we're all trying to figure this shit out)
- deng 5mo agoI think we can agree that this is not something anybody will actually use, but rather an homage to "They Live", and IMHO, letting this be done by AI is in contrast to the basic premise of the movie.
- dolebirchwood 5mo agoThat argument could be taken to any extreme at the end of the day. They Live, at its core, is a commentary on unrestrained capitalism. You could fault OP for using a Google browser. You could fault OP for using a Microsoft cloud repository. The line may be blurrier than one thinks...
- gchamonlive 5mo agoAre you writing code in a computer instead of using pen and paper? Preposterous!
- GroksBarnacles 5mo agoPeople have jobs and lives, let them make things quick with the tools available if its for fun.
- tclancy 5mo agoI once built a Chrome extension to play this audio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8itH10OFc8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8itH10OFc8), encoded as base64 in the extension, on certain UI interactions on a sports site. I did it all by my big self. Should I be proud of that? Because I think we both know the answer is no.
