The creation of the system is deeply impressive, so are compilers but I don't raise a toast to it each time I build my code. Like generated art, people aren't going appreciate it on the same level.
replyWow you consider this on the same level of impressiveness as a compiler?
replyI actually consider compilers more impressive, and a compiler was an important part of making this possible.
replyTo each their own. I mean compilers didn’t produce trillions of dollars of investment, and produce serious and profound philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness but you’re right, thank god we have C
replyCompilers just made it all possible, but they are not new and shiny. LLMs did not produce the philosophical questions, but they do raise them.
