Perfect, a coding agent that refuses to do things that haven’t already been done before.

Then it would be a real human. Like if you take a picture of a carrot and put it through a Star Trek replicator you’ll have a real carrot presumably. Unless you say Star Trek replicators aren’t real things and so you can’t make any claims a

Yeah I don’t think it’s clear if the connectome is modeling real fruit fly behavior or is just being used as an entropy generator.

You make it sound like it’s a motivated opinion.

I’m entitled to my opinion about your opinion just like you’re entitled to your opinion about my opinion about your opinion.

That plus if you’ve ever stared at your code and then searched StackOverflow to see if you could find a better way of doing it, it’s like having that running continuously.

Well you got me. I’d agree about that workflow, but something more rapid like a few seconds generating code and then a couple minutes reading it can be more engaging to me than writing it out yourself. I think it’s near time we all stop hav

It could be. Or it could be 1x, or 0.2x. You don’t have enough information to make that judgment.

Trebuchets crushed their victims so hard that they were erased from history.

I think that’s my point: none of those things happened, so on what basis can we claim that it’s like they did. Who has to agree with what you’re doing in order for it not to be considered underhanded?

Why isn’t it more like building a hardware store using lumber you purchased from a competing hardware store? Or founding a school using an education you obtained at a different school?

Pro-tip: if you want to get from A to B without using Google Maps, simply pick a sequence of intermediate points A = a_0, …, a_n = B where each pair of consecutive points aren’t too far apart, and then travel to each point in turn.

“Nothing ever happens” is like “you can’t beat the market.” It’s basically tautologically the strongest predictive model that we can have. A corollary is that something may happen, but it won’t be what you think.

I don’t know, back in the day you could just buy a newspaper and read it. Now, if you want to read an article you have to pay $20/month to that news organization in perpetuity. I don’t see how that can be expected to work.

I really only find that story believable if we were to restrict AI development and only allow a small group of people to use it.

If compute isn’t the bottleneck then it wouldn’t make it 100x more expensive to scrape. Of course if it does, then it’ll be effective.

You can’t start policy justifications with “imagine” like that. Maybe if you’re the Beatles.

I hate it when it picks that register. I think it stops if you contradict it more, which he’s not doing.

I only buy certified organic non-GMO rainforest, so save a patch for me before you burn the rest of it down and replace it with a monocrop.

I want to see a binary clock with fourteen hands.

Ooh but then would the AI filter out discussion of itself?

That’s such a strange thing to say. Should we only use things invented in the last 300 years on the 4th of July?

Animations are four-dimensional. Colored animations are seven-dimensional. More if they include surface normals or lighting information. Simple.

I don’t know who you’re including in “we”, but since most CEOs are being paid more for their judgment than HN commenters are, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to hold them to higher standards.
