I believe that's mostly for fun. Coding agents wouldn't need to interact via the same interfaces humans use, they'd be given a tool to read and write files and they'd be fine with that.

This resonates with me a lot: > As ever, I wish we had better tooling for using LLMs which didn’t look like chat or autocomplete I think part of the reason why I was initially more skeptical than I ought to have been is because chat is s

If you're working like that then the prompt is the code and the LLM is the interpreter, and it's not obvious to me that it would be "better" than just running it normally, especially since an LLM with that level of capab

Younger me would jump on that problem. The issue, of course, is that by the time you're making allowances for life events, trading favors, etc. the problem isn't technical anymore.

I'm not against "we'll make it bigger" (although it's as of yet unknown if it hits diminishing returns, 4.5 isn't exactly remembered as a great release), I'm against "we'll just (i.e. 'onl

Don't they have a significant RL component? The "we'll just make it bigger" idea that was peddled a lot after GPT3.5 was nonsense, but that's not the only thing they're doing right now.

I think the idea is that once we have AI that can use AI to help AI build AI we're so wealthy that we can afford to live lives of leisure. Naturally in that scenario shortly thereafter everyone dies, but we don't talk about that p

I feel so seen lol. I work in data engineering and the first paragraph is me all the time. There are a lot of cool technologies (timeseries databases, vector databases, stuff like Synapse on Azure, "lakehouses" etc.) but they are

It's not a great release and there are indeed a few bugs, but it's kind of okay. There's a lot of good stuff like container support! I don't know, but it seems to me like people are overreacting? Do y'all really car

The consistency of a mission statement? Are you guys for real? To be clear: I'm not arguing that everyone at OpenAI or Meta is a bad person, I don't think that's true. Most of their employees are probably normal people. But s

Not sure about this project in particular, but many more popular projects (curl comes to mind) have adopted similar policies not out of spite but because they'd get submerged by slop. Sure, a smart guy with a tool can do so much more,

If you're doing a lot of requests for testing or some other purpose I could see an argument for a graphical interface. Curl is a masterpiece but it's not that simple to use. But again, we're in $current_year and I'd be s

This is it. Of course you love a boring life. Boring is great, in most people's lives variance is terrible news. But boring means being able to tank variance, which is an absurd luxury.

I'm joking, that wasn't meant to be serious commentary. I don't actually agree with the idea that most jobs are bullshit.

There's the old joke that many people who fear they could be replaced by AI are in fact too self-aggrandizing, they could be replaced by a 12-line python script. If you want to get a bit meaner, you could profitably replace some people

They are similar enough that using one over the other is at most a small mistake. I prefer Claude models (perhaps I'm more used to them?) but Codex is also very good.

I don't think it's as bad as people make it, and certainly we can't blame non-technical users if they like it, for many tasks it's the only tool that's simultaneously usable by normal people and powerful enough. It

Models are stateless, why would that not work?

Yeah, I'm not even that opposed to using AI for documentation if it helps, but everything from Microsoft recently has been full-on slop. It's almost like they're trying to make sure you can't miss it's AI generated.

I used to write and review problems for math competitions. This is why we avoided saying "natural numbers". We used "nonnegative integers" or "positive integers" instead.

Yeah, I'm also not saying that, I'm not "OMG AGI tomorrow" either. I think he was one of the first to voice concerns about the financial situation of AI companies and that was valuable, but if you look at his blog he&#x2
