Oh wow, that was great - particularly if I then look at my own body parts (like my palm) that I know are not moving, it's particularly disturbing. That's a really well done effect, I've seen something similar but nothing quite like that.
The older I get the more this kind of commentary (the OP, not you!) is a total turn off. Systems evolve and there's usually, not always, a reason for why "things are the way they are". It's typically arrogance to have this kind of tone. That said I was a bit like that when I was younger, and it took a few knockings down to realise the world is complex.
I originally read this as "No, code is dead..." and thought here we go. I agree with the sentiment in this, and seems to line up with my experience with friends and colleagues of various persuasions. Certainly for anything React-like and front end heavy, people can scratch itches like never before. I still think it's heavily towards the "throwaway" and relatively small side of this, beyond that I think if you're not already somewhat familiar, you'll hit a brick wall.
Agreed, the article's perspective is much narrower and I think it makes total sense.
Previous no-code tools could work but required total buy-in. On the other hand you can have Claude generate a small throwaway frontend that relies on Web technologies you'd be using anyway.
My mental model for this is "Excel++". It has similar strengths (very powerful, users don't need developers to write every last line) and similar weaknesses (easy to make a mess or go down blind alleys if you don't know what you're doing).
I'm relieved to know from reading this thread I'm not completely crazy. I have the same thing, a very, very short snippet just repeatedly "playing". I become very conscious of it at various moments and try to "change the track" to some other repeated snippet. I've yet to find a pattern to which track is next.
When you first study mathematics at undergraduate and early post-grad level there is a sense of being overwhelmed with how on earth anyone figured this out. When you read the messy history of maths, and understand it is an organic, growing field, you feel a little less like an imposter struggling to understand how anyone could've come up with this.
Reading these books (primarily as a software engineer), made me feel better about not immediately getting certain concepts, because it's likely the people these theorems are named after didn't get it either, to begin with. They refined it, they collaborated (like a pull request almost) and eventually everything got very neatly packaged up into a set of theorems. Mathematics is rarely taught in that way, I wish more of the "human" aspect was part of the pedagogical process. I think it might temper some of the fear people have.
"Cambridge University History of Mathematics Society
presents an illegal, immoral, and fattening lecture series,
without the endorsement, approval, or approbation of University authorities on:
HISTORY OF SCIENCE IN ANTIQUITY"
Gives me a warm feeling. Here's one of the lectures to get a flavor:
This sounded a strange abstract way to define it, but you're right, in as much as Open AI and MS deciding this between them. I don't think they mean it in a general sense though, it's framed to me as a way of deciding if OAI have been successful enough or not to MS on their investment.
> Microsoft and OpenAI have a very specific, internal definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI) based on the startup’s profits, according to a new report from The Information. And by this definition, OpenAI is many years away from reaching it.
I had very similar sounding issues to the OP and thought it's probably something to do with a suboptimal SD card and/or overheating or memory. I also ended up using NextDNS and tbf really like it. Does a great job at a decent price and the admin is useful. I keep thinking I should just setup another pihole but NextDNS are at a very, very sweet price point that by the time I renew (tbf I think I fit within the free tier but wanted to support it), I just throw them another 20eur.
There's been weights on Civit.ai [1] for months, and I just assumed this was already done and a lost cause. When I asked ChatGPT/Dall-E for an image "... in the style of Herge" it didn't do a half bad job enough for me to see the inspiration either.
