  • Originally, the word "computer" referred to a human being. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)

    Over time, when digital computers became commonplace, the computing moved from the person to the machine. At this time, arguably the humans doing the programming of the machine were doing the work we now ask of a "compiler".

    So yes, an LLM can be a compiler in some sense (from a high level abstract language into a programming language), and you too can be a compiler! But currently it's probably a good use of the LLM's time and probably not a good use of yours.

  • Current AI is much, much better than current search engines (which themselves seem worse than they were decades ago, for some reason).

  • Let's see a bull open a very complicated garbage dumpster in a national park. Maybe bears are actually smart and not just looking smart?

    > Said one park ranger, "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."

  • Does anybody seriously think that communication is something an LLM can do for you?

    (Hint: if you have to prompt it to write an email -- you could have saved everyone some time and emailed the prompt instead.)
