Alright, I’ll try to remind you about this in 10 years or so.

yes! this was exactly my strategy with this prompt:

> > """when i ask you to do a math problem, instead of trying to do the calculation yourself, use the appropriate command line tool to solve the problem instead and output that command or sequence of commands in a code block.

what is 154/7? """

> """To solve the math problem 154/7 using a command line tool, you can use the bc command. Here is an example sequence of commands:

$ echo '154/7' | bc

22

The echo command is used to print the string '154/7' to the standard output, which is then piped to the bc command. The bc command is a simple calculator that can evaluate expressions and perform mathematical operations. In this case, it calculates the result of the division and prints it to the standard output. """

i later told it to use python3 instead and it even gave both `bc` and a `python3 -c "..."` command.

That is an argument of mine. AI which can create arbitrary code and run that is a step closer. Self modification, self debugging, and with internet access can use resources such as stack overflow to attempt new tries ar solving whatever feature it wants to add to itself or even learn how to interface with connected peripherals and their usage. However, what is a common theme with humans? goals and ambitions. How would an AI organically establish such things? sure it can relate to training data for common goals and ambitions based on what humans have done and achieved. Just brain dumping about possibilities now I guess.
