    “I gave an LLM a wildly oversimplified version of a complex human task and it did pretty well”

    For how long will we be forced to endure different versions of the same article?

    The study said 86.66% of the generated software systems were “executed flawlessly.”

    Like I said yesterday, in a post celebrating how ChatGPT can do medical questions with less than 80% accuracy, that is trash. A company with absolute shit code still has virtually all of it “execute flawlessly.” Whether or not code executes it not the bar by which we judge it.

    Even if it were to hit 100%, which it does not, there’s so much more to making things than this obviously oversimplified simulation of a tech company. Real engineering involves getting people in a room, managing stakeholders, navigating conflicting desires from different stakeholders, getting to know the human beings who need a problem solved, and so on.

    LLMs are not capable of this kind of meaningful collaboration, despite all this hype.

      AI regularly hallucinates API endpoints that don’t exist, functions that aren’t part of that language, libraries that don’t exist. There’s no fucking way it did any of this bullshit. Like, yeah - it can probably do a mean autocomplete, but this is being pushed so hard because they want to drive wages down even harder. They want know-nothing middle-managers to point to this article and say “I can replace you with AI, get to work!”…that’s the only purpose of this crap.

        I think there is less of a conspiracy, and it’s just pushing investment. These AI articles sound exactly like when the internet was new and most people only had a cursory experience with it and people were pumping any company if they just said the word internet.

        Now that “Blockchain” has been beaten to death, they need a new hype word to drive mindless investment.

            What’s up, vore!

            AFAIK vore is a rare fetish where someone gains sexual gratification from imagining swallowing someone whole (or imagining themselves being swallowed whole). Like the Bilquis scenes from American Gods, which I found oddly arousing.

            Oh fuck.

              Well, there are different kinds. Not all involve swallowing a critter whole, not all involve death, not all involve, er, mouths.

              Hey wait, where’s everyone going? Oh well, more vore for me 🤣Guess I should go check out American Gods. … And look for a particular kind of place to hang out 🤔
