trebaud··on How I feel about AI
I am surpised that a lof of folks are surprised that neural networks work that well. I mean, did they really expect that we wouldnt approximate the brain cognitive capabilities at some point as we scale up compute?? This is rather obvious to me, but apparently not to everyone. My guess is that a lot of tech people have an immature model of the universe, have not read a lot of scientific, philosophical and cognitive literature. Or have not really taken the time to think or are not interested on such topics because they would rather spend time thinking about the nitty gritty and mundane workings of the framework du jour.
trebaud··on Incident with Github.com
Shameless plug, AI built me this cli tool to visualize gh like diffs from the terminal https://github.com/trebaud/diffcat , could prove handy in times like these lol
trebaud··on AI 2040: Plan A
You dont seem to understand what proof means. Human brain is made of matter, matter can be arranged to make a thing that reproduces human brain properties. What's the confusion here? I say its unscientific because it places the human brain beyond the scope of what can be operated on. Not having the knowledge or tech yet to achieve that is irrelevant since we have an existence proof.

Or you deeply suffer from normalcy bias. Not believing that AGI is possible is irrational and unscientific imo, the human brain exists, it is not made of magic, it can reproduced. It is as simple as that. We can debate about timelines, architectures that may lead us there, etc... You can even talk all day long about definitions of AGI, and people waste their time doing that. But saying that the human brain cognitive capabilities cannot be reproduced on other types of substrates is stupid at this point.
trebaud··on Bashblog – a single bash script to create blogs
Who cares seriously? Its obvious in the repo that claude code is a contributor.

I dont have time to play these ego games and prefix everything with "AI wrote 90% of this codebase" instead "I built". I just thought this would be useful to share. If you dont think this is useful then dont use it, it's that simple...

Wow that was pretty passive agressive lol, sure you're probably right

Not a bash script, but I built my own small blog generation engine to use with AI agents if anyone is interested https://github.com/trebaud/let-an-agent-build-your-blog
