  • True! Interfacing is also a lot of work, but I think that starts straying away from AI to “How do we interact with it.” And let’s be real, plugging into OAI’s or Anthropic’s API is not that hard.

    Does remind me of a very interesting implementation I saw once though. A VRChat bot powered by GPT 3.5 with TTS that used sentiment classification to display the appropriate emotion for the text generated. You could interact with it directly via talking to it. Very cool. Also very uncanny, truth be told.

    All that is still in the realm of “fucking around” though.




  • If you want to disabuse yourself of the notion that AI is close to replacing programmers for anything but the most mundane and trivial tasks, try to have GPT 4 generate a novel implementation of moderate complexity and watch it import mystery libraries that do exactly what you want the code to do, but that don’t actually exist.

    Yeah, you can do a lot without writing a single line of code. You can certainly interact with the models because others who can have already done the leg work. But someone still has to do it.



  • I read it a long time ago. The format is interesting, novel certainly. I suppose it’s the selling point, over the prose.

    To me it seemed like there were many competing “ways” to read it as well. Like a maze, you can go different paths. Do you read it front to back? Niggle through the citations? Thread back through the holes? It’s not often you get a book that has this much re-read value.
