Where we're going, we won't even need programming languages or libraries at all. AI's will just generate pure binaries full of magic, right? /s

- asdf88990 2mo agoI mean, you already can, the AI will just do “natural language” to a programming language, and then call a compiler for the next step. Done.

- jensgk 2mo agoI am pretty sure that is where we are going. No /s
- sgt 2mo agoBut how do you debug that?
- Brian_K_White 2mo agoAn ai decompiles a binary to a human representation. Not even to a traditional programming language but just to an md file or infographic. Probably terribly but probably good enough for some people to love it, and probably getting better over time. Although I'm not sure who the user is when the world has been turned into power plants and chip fabs by then and there aren't any humans left since they need things like farms.
- sgt 2mo agoI suppose you could decompile it to math (very broadly speaking).
- varjag 2mo agoIt can already do that, give it a try. (just asked Sol Max Fast to write a Tic Tac Toe ELF directly. 4m 28s, 912 byte executable)
- sgt 2mo agoThat's pretty insane.
- sgt 2mo agoBtw, interestingly, I tried getting Ox Alpha to make Tic Tac Toe directly as a Linux ELF executable. It came up with assembly code (NASM syntax) and it just timed out when I asked for pure machine code.
- varjag 2mo agoHave no experience with Ox Alpha but Sol went to code it down in a .hex file that it then converted into an ELF executable. The exact prompt was Create a simplest terminal based tic tac toe game. Generate executable ELF binary right away, without using existing or impromptu compilers.
