Yes, however there are times when you are enough of an expert in the domain to know why Y is the solution you need and you just want someone to help you with that part. You might know X better than anyone else, and explaining X won't g

This reminds me of the following all-to-common StackOverflow interaction: dev: <tries to figure out how to do abc. Due to various limitations, dev comes to the conclusion that the best way to do abc is using def. Explaining everything in

For the sake of the thought experiment: It could replicate a program capable of interacting with itself over OpenAI's API. This method could give it some time to get away and cause damage, but can always be shut down when noticed by Op

It is wild that a process like that can generate working code. Humans speak their words in order, but they don't write their code in order. Why would writing code in order work?

Von Neuman probes[1] wouldn't need to have "agency" in order to spread through the galaxy. Neither do computer viruses, or biological viruses. Likewise, neither would LLMs given the right conditions. ChatGPT is close enough a

If you ask 100 humans the same thing, you'll get some mistakes too. I don't think the point is whether it makes mistakes. The Chat GPT response shown above is clearly more interesting and impressive / displays something more

Google has taken the approach they have very deliberately. They believe in full self driving only. It's not that they couldn't do lane changing and autopilot. It's that they believed it was the wrong approach. No steering whe

Right, my expectation was they had something better than OpenAI they were sitting on and afraid to release / didn't know how to make money with it and were essentially forced to show what they had once Chat GPT became a threat to

No, because changing browsers to interpret `arr[-1]` as `arr[arr.length - 1]` breaks existing sites that expect `arr[-1]` to be interpreted as `arr['-1']`: That is, the value stored on object `arr` at key name '-1'. Chan
