Except most people aren't mass spammers, and most people aren't actually heard most of the time, and most of our systems are actually set up to make sure this continues to be the case.

How about AI will show us where we are intentionally underfunding things we have promised people?

Amusingly, I totally bought Uranium off of Amazon ~7 years ago when I wanted to test my Geiger counter. Doesn't seem to be available anymore though? Sad!

Reliability, duh.

The more I can trust my agents to actually complete a task, the more tasks I will assign to my agents.

> No, but I speak the language of binary load lifters, which is very similar to your moisture vaporators

I'm blind. Apple has explicitly said they wouldn't consider the "bloody ROI" of accessibility (will fund it no matter what). This is important to me. Software freedom is also important to me. What am I to do?

Hum, I'm actually pretty sure that Text-davinci-003 used to talk about Elias all the time now that you mention it. I was doing stuff with NPC generation around Dec 22 and he was every third character.

Shit, I'm so sorry to the surgeons who saved me from eye cancer!

Didn't Elias come from WildChat?

Copenhagen interpretation of security, doncha know?

nft add table inet filter

nft add set inet filter meta_crawl '{ type ipv4_addr; flags interval; }'

nft add element inet filter meta_crawl '{ 57.141.0.0/24 }'

nft add chain inet filter input '{ type filter hook input priority 0; }'

nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr @meta_crawl tcp dport {80,443} reject with tcp reset

So to clarify it can imagine its way through writing massive gnarly page-long regexps or imagine how a complex API works and what will happen if it makes a given call or imagine just by reading disassembled code precisely how a binary works, but it will never be able to imagine how a human might feel about a user experience?

I have an experiment to offer. Find a really, really great example of something poorly-designed, too busy or whatever other metric you want to use as your "poorly-designed" thing, then ask Claude what's wrong with it and how it should be improved?

> except learning another job which isn’t (yet) doable by AI.

Why? Why are jobs necessary? Who needs to have them? Should we pay people to be stopgaps/just in case jobs in case the machine fails (probably?) -- who organizes that? Do we have a human economy and AI economy? How to keep them decoupled? Does this mean stamping provenance (who made what onto what?) should be a core of the future? Right now? What does that look like? Are there other things we can do to ensure we get the Banks future and not a shittier one? Is the Banks future a good one? Is disempowerment a real concern? If so what do we do about it? Human reserves? Zoos?

I do not have answers, but I know the questions are vastly more interesting than "what job will the AI not be able to do" wtf PLEASE

When you say this is simply not possible you sparked my interest. I would be curious to chat about your approach?

If I were trying to accomplish this particular goal I would first consider what the agent could see. In particular does it have an accessibility inspector of some kind? or even NVDA hooked up with NVDA Remote so that it can actually see the implicit a11y tree for the toolkit it is working on? My email is in my profile and I would love to chat about this.

From my perspective this is the thing that the people who have been talking about how good these damn things have gotten now were trying to get you to do all along. Understand that they're getting better, it doesn't seem to be stopping, and we really, really need to figure this part out ASAP.

What seems to happen though is it always gets pulled into a discussion of "But they can't X" or "but ma taste!" or the old generic canard "can't replicate what's not in the training data"

All I want is for people to see that yes, this is happening, accept it, then figure out what a good response would be to it. Instead we get everything from stochastic parrot parrots to "Dario is just marketing when he tries to warn us" to the old an thoughtless "But if you think it's bad, why are you doing it?"

Please.

So because some people use Tinder, does this mean that nobody puts any effort into actually finding the right partner?

Said another way: is it impossible to use something which everybody has access to to make something artful?

Or I will try it a third way. Does the fact that people take bad pictures on their iPhones prevent other people from shooting whole professional movies on iPhones?

Good thing that programming with LLMs takes time, effort an dedication then!

> Hobbies still exist, but they don’t pay the bills, and increasingly retrocomputing and performance optimization are being infested by LLM fans that seek recognition rather than the experience, which sucks the fun out.

Isn't this whole post seeking...recognition? I am so confused at the metahypocrisy here. Why is it valid to want recognition for something when you do it, but not when someone who uses an LLM does it?

It's one thing to have no compassion for someone who is clearly suffering. Hell nobody can be expected to have compassion all the time, right?

But to make a point of how much you don't care. What, precisely, do you get out of this? I would like to understand. So I know what to avoid along my own journey if nothing else.

Sparky,

this sounds like you've been running on very little rest for a while, and that's rough regardless of what's on the damn Mac.

If there's someone you trust offline, it might be worth talking to them about how you're holding up, separate from the technical questions.

I use a screen reader. Please do not do this.

This? Still? After everything?

Buddy, you're living in the future. In a science fiction novel. Please get used to it.

Wonder about this aspect:

We have been trying to warn you since far, far before May 2023.

Do you have Jews in that there attic?

Do you post this comment on every single blogpost with a corporate domain? Why or why not?

As the waves of autonomous drones came over the horizon, the brave and intelligent HN commenter shouted: "Wake up sheeple! It's just maaaaarketing!"

In the space-based datacenter? LOL

Your coding agent is also a very real-world version of the paperclip optimization thought experiment, yes. Have you never seen it reward hacking? Editing tests to pass instead of fixing the code?

It knows what you want, it can even tell you, and it absolutely doesn't give a shit.
