A human is effectively turning complete if you give the person paper and pen and the ruleset, and a brain clearly stores information and processes it to some extent, so this is pretty unconvincing. The article is nonsense and badly written.

It also has a 99.5% confidence that it has uniquely fingerprinted me, and says I have had 677 visits to the site, including Vietnam & Sweeden... I think the 'unique' part of fingerprinting here isn't working unfortunately

Try learning to vibe code on something totally greenfield without looking at the code and see if it changes your mind. Ignore code quality, “does it work” and “am i happy with the app” are the only metrics. Code quality is an issue you need

Thanks! It's in a very narrow domain (Handset UI flows in Warehouse Management Systems) so i'm hoping that helps, but it's very domain specific and certainly not anything mainstream.

My personal sense is business logic which involves processes with lots of steps rather than data transformation. I’m unconvinced that code is the best way to describe business logic, so here we are! :) (Code is probably the best way to enco

Let's see! I'm actually working on a node-based programming LLM paradigm for an app I'm building. The idea is that you can write the 'nodes' in plain english rather than pre-written blocks, and then the arrows indic

100% agree - If this app gets any traction at all, it's only a matter of time before someone's crypto wallet gets leaked and emptied. If you want to be handling peoples secrets, you have to make sure you know what you are doing an

I've posted elsewhere, but I still have lots of issues personally: * Your deletion policy says you delete images instantly and via the UI in settings, but I've checked and they are retained in the object store. You need to update

I think the challenge is that you are potentially storing some of the most secret things for users here - passwords copied from password managers, bank details copied and pasted into forms, private photos, corporate secrets and designs, med

This is true, although maybe if an “AGI” invented us, it might say “It’s strange how these humans are so good at driving, but so bad at protein folding and playing Go” Very abstract, but I think it’s important to remember that human intelli

I think your definition of it being 'human level' is sensible - definitely a lower bar to hit than 'as long as people can do work that a robot cannot do, we don't have AGI'. There is certainly a lot road between cur

In the 'purely rational' crimes, it's going to be some sort of function of both right? The expected benefit, the risk that you get caught, and the severity of the punishment. While I agree that people conducting corporate fra

Completely disagree - Your definition (in my opinion) is more aligned to the concept of Artificial Super Intelligence. Surely the 'General Intelligence' definition has to be consistent between 'Artificial General Intelligence

Just comes down to your own view of what AGI is, as it's not particularly well defined. While a bit 'time-machiney' - I think if you took an LLM of today and showed it to someone 20 years ago, most people would probably say A

Anecdotal experience, but when bugfixing I personally find if a model introduces a bug, it has a hard time spotting and fixing it, but when you give the code to another model it can instantly spot it (even if it's a weaker model overal

The concept of recording a macro (telling a computer the steps you want it to do, and then it repeating it) is very different to telling the computer the outcome you want and it working out the steps. Going back to the 'help me calcula

It's not bugs that is the barrier here. Maybe functionality is the wrong word as I'm talking about something higher level than individual features, and maybe 'user stories' better represents what I'm getting at... W

I would argue the opposite - the premise actually accepts that software developers and product owners can't always know how their software will be used by end users. Besides, HCI will inevitably change because after 30 years of increme

by Closi 11mo ago
I think you are right in the 'current paradigm' of what software is at the moment, where users are using a fixed set of functionality in the way that the developer intended, but there is a new breed of software where the functiona

by Closi 11mo ago
There is a trade off with simplicity though - usually it requires being highly opinionated about which software features make the cut. Users or sales teams often want more features, but if you included every one the app would become a mess.
