The unlock opportunity here is likely being underestimated. I heard once "you can be ahead of so many curves by being on Twitter", now add Discord and Slack. Also, you can remove the tediousness of Twitter feed scrolling because A

I think parsimony is great for human readability but also creates a bias that excludes within reach solutions that overall have meaningfully better properties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_antenna

I understand it to mean “I’ll explain something to you in my words, now you describe it back to me so I can evaluate whether the right message came across”. Helpful exercise if you’re honing a pitch, because first listen understanding is ke

This was on the first release of ChatGPT so I guess GPT-3.5. Pretty much like WASDx describes. In my case it was even more meta because I was writing a script that was making ChatGPT API calls. It’s an I/O network call so it was fairly

So much: - generate AWK to transform text - modify python script to make it multithreaded (when this worked first go I was very mindblown) - explain concepts that I half understand in clear language, eg explain sharpe ratio and show me the

No I think it’s fairly safe to assume this setup wouldn’t be problematic. And maybe if it was a setup that was much less constrained (eg not behind a rate limited third party API) people _would_ operate with more caution. I’ve been having f

At least we now have plenty of evidence that people happily kick-off fairly unconstrained self-improving AI programs. With the $100 “make as much money” attempt in the GPT4 paper and now this. We better not invent a system that’s incredibly

Also, given how many startups have waged war with spreadsheets probably best to watch https://youtu.be/GMIawSAygO4 for an introduction to the concept of “tar pit ideas”. Then at least you know what you’re getting yourselves

I think this is the right answer. In addition, natural languages like English are somewhat ambiguous. Returning code in a language we can already read efficiently (eg TypeScript) means we can quickly validate if they got the details right.
