> she thought all music was just magically created when you ask Alexa for it

This is becoming more and more true.

This seems complex and expensive, and I suppose the only reason to do this is because you want to generate code faster? Do you really have so much code to write that a single LLM is too slow?

And then on top of that you need another agent to manage merging all of the subagent code together?

Are they also telling each other what to do? Because I for one can't assign and keep track of 10 things at once.

Right, and I suspect many people on here and elsewhere that want gambling banned don't want alcohol banned and can come up with several convenient reasons why not.

But imo the real reason is that they enjoy alcohol and don't enjoy gambling.

I wasn't talking about age limits. I meant that someone can drink themselves literally to death with nothing stopping them. It is way more dangerous than gambling.

You exaggerated by implying all gamblers are out of control. If you only meant compulsive gamblers you could have said it.

And her father worked for Letterman.

> Gamblers aren't free in any meaningful sense. That's what a compulsion is - the inability to do otherwise.

You're making a bad faith argument that all gamblers are slaves to the casino. The overwhelming majority of gamblers do not have a compulsion.

Yet there's nothing stopping someone from drinking themselves to oblivion.

And, as a percentage of participants, alcohol is significantly more likely vs gambling to result in addiction, and far more likely to kill someone.

We also don't talk about banning alcohol.

Freedom includes being free to self regulate and to make mistakes.

> And then when you come back after a few days, you realize that it has overwritten

1. Review what it writes as it writes it

2. Give it a smaller, more focused, scope to make changes

Or, keep vibing but then don't get mad about it.

> that they lack basic skills, such as knowing their own zip code

Knowing your zip code isn't a skill though.

I don't know my ATM pin. Does that make me an idiot? Turns out I just don't need to know it.

Your comment inspired me to read the article.

I've done this despite also feeling silly about it, but then was surprised to get value from the response. Like something I didn't think about or would have otherwise forgotten to do.

So now I do it regularly.

I agree. But that still doesn't make it a lie or illegal.

> We need new words!

The words we have are fine.

We just need to assign liability by ownership/initiation: if your "agent" destroys something, even though you didn't tell it to (because it had "agency"), you should be liable for the damages.

Because a PE is a fact not an interpretation.

As i write this, an article about Claude is 6th from the top on the linked site.

> you aren't countering my core point that golf courses is the possibly the worst use of space and basically anything else would serve the same or better utility for way more people

My counter point was that everything we do doesn't have to be motivated by efficiency gains. Sports, golf especially, isn't trying to cram the most people possible into a small space.

By your own logic, we should replace soccer fields with kicking a ball into a net.

A curved wall?

Yes. And right after we kill golf lets pave over Central Park. And we can tear down sports arenas and concert venues after that. It's a huge waste when you think about how few people actually go there and what benefit they actually have. Sports overall are a waste of time. Everyone should just walk in the woods instead. Except soccer. You're right that we need thousands more soccer fields. Its way more efficient than any other kind of exercise. And there is so much demand for soccer in the US, you can't even find an empty field. In contrast to golf courses which are mostly empty like you noticed.

> LLMs generate compartmentalized modules which exponentially explodes the number of failure modes

It sounds like you're arguing against modularizing which is an unusual stance. Especially for a million line codebase.

> Guess we’ll need even more human software engineers to fix it.

This is what we've been doing for years before LLMs. Hiring a ton of devs to spit out code, which became another's burden. It just took longer and cost more.

That's two purposes.

I think the first one is the whole story anyway.

When he's gone we can just undo it as easily as he did it. And tear down all of his other tributes to himself.

If we don't want idiots to do idiotic things we probably shouldn't make it possible/legal in the first place. But the corruption and malfeasance goes way beyond Trump so here we are.

> Besides, in this area, clients getting one whiff of AI code would be an immediate deal-killer

If you implement AI code review suggestions then you're using AI code, just the hard way.

Also I don't see why your clients would be ok with having AI review and influence your code. Seems hypocritical, or like you're trying to cheat them.

> Turns out the gains were eroded by having to check the work and turn verbose prose into an actual note.

LLMs are great at this. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't possible to improve the actionable notes.

Most human-made doctor notes I've seen have not been comprehensive, anyway, and the doctor has had to spend a good chunk of a rushed appointment scribbling notes rather than interacting with the patient.

Same thing you would do for a human decision:

You don't blindly follow it, and you also don't order a DNA test of the person that made it. You look at the output to include supporting evidence.

And you have a process for appeals.

You're accusing GP of saying something they didn't say and simultaneously telling them they don't "get it".

That's distasteful.

Great. Just don't get upset when a politician you don't like wipes his butt with the consititution.
