Clearly he is so special to our universe, and has such a solid reputation, that arguing with words and logic is beneath him. Duh.

This is a false line of thinking. Karpathy say's hallucinating is what makes LLMs special. LLMs are way more like compression with a mix of hallucination rather than anything else.

Well finally you're trying to use some logic and critical thinking. Thank God. For real you're as bad as me because you also reply and can't stop. I'm not hearing voices, I'm talking about the context of the OPs que

Your sense that an LLM being able to write a simple python script is good enough to replace engineers makes you reek of being a junior engineer. How do you justify such extrapolation? Your original comment provides zero baseline for how lon

Ha I have strong opinions from experience, not feelings. I think so too but the OP is asking about chatGPT and relatively near term tech (given the context of his question). Your naivety about software engineering is not uncommon but it is

It’s also about risk. How fragile is your code base? You have no idea of its weaknesses without thinking through the implementation details.

Nope. My point is that production apps at organizations are a lot more complicated than a toy app built from scratch by ChatGPT. Fundamentally, do you think ChatGPT will ever be able to produce accurate patch files? Thing is it doesn’t coun

Ok now ask ChatGPT to produce a git patch file for your production repo and see how far that gets you. Not far.

But honestly I hope everyone keeps pushing this “AI is gonna replace programmers” stuff. Will keep people out of the field and my technical chops will have higher market value.

I think ChatGPT is just the next level search engine for coding. It doesn’t fundamentally change anything about building complex systems, just another tool. I would never ship a production app built with ChatGPT. I need to know the intricac

AI is super useful for building systems, but now with layman AI == ChatGPT and ChatGPT isn't useful for building every system.

Ha if apple is exlcusively the seller of iPhones, does that make them a monopoly? No because you can buy other phones. And you can buy other songs. No the analogy about rival goods is not a good analogy.

You jump to conclusions in you comment by saying "rent is extracted" and "monopoly". Copyright doesn't necessarily mean "monopoly".

Since chrome has the data from both sources: the microphone, and the audio stream from YouTube, I imagine you can construct a filter from the impulse response of the YouTube source and then run the microphone through it

Such bullshit. We have copyright protections to keep people compensated for their artistic work. Tech has changed, the copyright law didn't have foresight to protect against this. But that is definitely the intention of such law.

The problem isn't that people are luddites and hate technology, it's that it has been built on the backs of peoples artistic work, and they haven't been asked or compensated for it.

For me it's more about security. If I have a an appliance tied to the internet my entire network is susceptible. With an app, and bluetooth, I could just send data between the appliance and the iPhone, and then use the iPhone connectio
