 If you look at the modern state of machine learning and AI and can only think
 of:chatbotssingularity god-mind AI that solves all our problems
 
 then either you haven't worked with the technology or you are not applying
 your imagination as you could.
 
 AI is not a smartphone. It is not the internet. It is not the printing press.
 
 AI (as it currently exists) is a special kind of "if" statement that you only
 use for very specific, non-performance intensive tasks that require judgement
 or reasoning and cannot easily be translated into numbers or booleans. These
 situations are rare, but they unlock new possibilities for the programmers,
 not their marketers.
 
 If an LLM can't run on a laptop, then it is useless.

 I can certainly see a future where programmers choose a level of abstraction
 they are comfortable with, same as today, but fill in the gaps, the lower
 parts, the parts they will not spend time, energy, and mental space
 understanding, with AI.
 
 I think that the role of the various people on a software team will begin to
 merge. Product designers, managers, front-end versus back-end, these feel like
 distinctions that will begin to fade from relevance. I think that's okay. I
 think it will make us feel more powerful, will elevate workers to a higher
 tier of organizational operation, and will increase the flexibility of
 computation.
 
 Why program your own software when you could use someone else's? This is the

 LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
 
 What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
 JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
 arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
 functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
 bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
 Google or Microsoft.
 
 We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They
 suck the creativity out of tech.

 But AI that can run on a laptop (even now) is still useful.
 
 Just, don't ask it to compose a masterpiece, solve all your problems, or write
 elegant code. It's not for that.
 
 Instead, ask your chatbot "hi can you fix these syntax errors?" on your
 pseudocode.
 
 Ask your weighting algorithm "which of these two is more [adjective]?" or
 perhaps "can you ask these numbers in the form of a question?"
 
 Use your tools not for their intended purpose, but rather for your own stated
 goals. Make things easier for people, make things work.

 all they have to do is [train the LLM / redirect the search results] with

 Almost as if we're using it for the wrongs things... Computers are quite
 deterministic, and AI as it's been presented to us has given us the
 opportunity to "massage" said determinism to create a subjectively more
 organic experience of computing.
 
 But yeah sure customer service bots and AI generated art are *surely* the most
 revolutionary and industrious use of this marvel of technology.

 the actions of the AI depend solely on the training data. Outside
 circumstances (like a prompt, or an image description) can only give so much
 guidance - how it executes on the intentions of the user are what is important.
 
 For example, if an AI was trained with the knowledge of how to commit crimes,
 for example, it could create a narrative of many different execution patterns.
 Then it's just up to the listeners to execute functions based on the narrative
 supplied by the crime-committer AI who was trained with knowledge about how to
 commit those crimes by the owner of the software who programmed it into them
 in order to [do the thing that people with power wants to do - intentionally
 left generic because different ends will have different means]

 very few things *waste* power so much in our modern era than the utilization
 of AI technologies to accomplish things such as "repeat this question 500
 times in your head and then give a reply: what is the purpose of
 antidisestablishmentarianism?"
 
 like... yeah I get it you need to justify the expensive power of large
 language models but, your boss isn't going to care if you used 5 jigawatts or
 500 pletawatts of power. they only think about "+10% this year, contributing
 about ~x% to our bottom line" which is NOT enough information.
 
 they probably don't even know that investing in AI implies buying more
 hardware computational capabilities, silicon and power-draw in all.
 
 they literally just rubber-stamp everything with a sorta aligned goal of
 "representing the company as people expect it to be have" (which is often
 neglected) and making the big numbers go higher.
 
 If, instead, we had visionaries at their head, and instead gave our most
 ardent believers control over our most rational experts...

═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Okay I gotta go write some w7 but picture this: A computer program that emits
 emotions during it's computing. Like "oh boy this process is going great!" and
 sends that into a giant word cloud that represents the entire program. Wait,
 scratch that, it's slowly filtered up through successive layers that provide
 detail to different *parts* of a program. Like "Oh the image generation is
 going
 great but it looks like the garbage collector is getting bogged down" - this
 could provide lots of useful information that an AI language model could sift
 through and filter into a batch of actually useful information. Think of it
 like
 this - stuff as much context into the LLM's memory buffer and say "summarize
 this in the same style. Make emphasis when necessary." the LLM could process
 all
 that data and it could be filtered up until there's no unprocessed data and
 then
 it could be given to the user in the form of a report or dashboard or
 something.
 BOOM AI PRODUCTIVITY. The user will ask the AI to increase certain variables,
 and it'll filter BACK DOWN THE CHAIN through the same exact process (just
 backwards) this time) and then individual components will know how to behave.
 
 Like imagine if your arms knew you were mad. They'd be much more likely to
 punch stuff right? Or imagine if your legs knew you were scared. They'd
 probably
 try and run as fast as they fucking can. There's an evolutionary reason why
 this
 kind of technology would be useful, which means it's likely that it's part of
 our genetic code. I mean, we have nothing to disprove it, but it's as good an
 idea as any.

 devote your life to it, or use AI to build a semi-working prototype that you
 can use to pitch your idea to a bunch of people who have devoted their lives
 to learning how to use your idea as documentation while they build it from
 scratch, throwing out most of the code but keeping all the checklists and
 progress-trackers you built along the way, perhaps even utilizing some of your
 tooling that you used while constructing the scaffolding of this monstrous

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much
wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 low key kinda surprised they haven't made an animated robot friend that
 narrates whatever chatGPT says in a back-and-forth conversation.
 
 though I kinda get why, because setting up the context is the expensive part
 and generating 100 words and generating 1000 words is basically the same
 computationally.
 
 somehow, that doesn't feel very human. Maybe, just maybe, LLMs aren't
