Can't think of anything an LLM is good enough at to let them do on their own in a loop for more than a few iterations before I need to reign it back in.

Are you implying that you can actually let agents run loose to autonomously fix things without just creating a mess? Because that's not a thing that you can really do in real life, at least not for anything but the most trivial tasks.

Here's qwen-30b-a3b's response to your prompt when I worded it better: The prompt was: "Create a Python decorator that registers functions as handlers for MQTT topic patterns (including + and # wildcards). Internally, use a t

IMO, if you're gaining a significant amount of productivity from LLMs in a technical field, it's because you were either very junior and lacked much of the basic knowledge required of your role, or you performed like you were.

Nearly every job, even a lot of creative ones, require a degree of accuracy and consistency that gen AI just can't deliver. Until some major breakthrough is achieved, not many people doing real work are in danger.

I wonder what his agenda is. He's really being willfully dishonest here, like he was when he kept bringing up the 200 year-olds in the Social Security databases, without mentioning that they weren't actually receiving payments. I

That's a big, massive if. I think the more experienced you are, the less net productivity you gain. If you're more senior, is probably very low or even negative. I use ChatGPT every day pretty much, but it has wasted quite a bit o

Usually when you rebrand, it's because you've run your brand name into the ground. Elon did it just because the letter X is very cool or something?

It's weird that the pubic doesn't know yet why they let him go, but people seem to be on his side. I really wonder what the whole story was.

I wonder if Discord will ever catch on in the corporate world. I use Slack for work and Discord for recreation. Is it just me, or does Discord just seem vastly superior to Slack? Slack is so tedious to navigate by comparison, especially whe
