       @clive Very impressive and inspiring. The four reasons why writing is good for you are well known, but still worth saying, especially since you have lived it. The pen/keyboard is an extension of the mind.

       @simon I've been thinking the same thing for years. The likely scenario is not the movie fictions of AI which started from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I don't expect that people will need to share prompts; it will be trained with HFRL. People will absolutely love it, just like people loved Eliza, and will want it to be unencumbered like some Nietzsche dream. Unlike one-to-many interactions that politicians have (rallies), it can be one-to-one, personal, in parallel by the millions.

       @simon The most likely scenario is a split between developers (prompt engineering) and users (no prompt engineering).

       @ceperez The Fed may well get the recession they want.

       @ceperez I keep hearing a similar sentiment... what if [some part of our brain] is really simple Might that be a shocking realization? People sometimes speculate that if you know music really well, the magic goes out of it. Although a superficial magical feeling might evaporate, it is replaced by a deeper understanding and the ground truth (e.g., what cords seem happy or sad) is still mysterious.

       @ceperez Controversy aside, is there any information on what techniques were used? Was it just voice cloning?

       @simon @collin @joeldrapper I find LLM code gen works best as a way to generate standalone functions with unit tests that can be integrated into existing apps. As such, it is like generating a custom library instantly.Generating whole apps is much harder, especially if a UI is involved. It can be quite tedious to explain all the UI behaviors of a webapp at this point. Ultimately, eventually it will boil down to specifications-as-programming which has long been a goal.
