If I were working in marketing and I wanted to increase utilization of the nuclear power plant next door, I would wipe 50 years of computer science and introduce "agent programming" and pretend it's the future. What are the odds people would buy it? Hit send.
- falcor84 4mo agoThere's a lot that could be said against agentic programming, but I don't understand how it wipes away anyway about CS - everything about this is a massive tower built on top of (and effectively utilizing) everything that we've learned about CS fundamentals and engineering over these decades.
- wseqyrku 4mo ago>but I don't understand how it wipes away anyway about CS Because transformers is a mathematician's take on programming. Not your CS graduate.
- falcor84 3mo agoI'm not sure what you mean. I can't find a single prominent contributor to transformers who doesn't have a CS background. The closest I found is Jared Kaplan (math and theoretical physics), who came and contributed with mathematical analysis after the architecture was already well-defined.
