Re: I think I need to go lie down
#72Such recent demos show both how impressively ML/AI has advanced recently, and how unimpressively repetitive and unoriginal tasks keep being reimplemented by millions of developers worldwide. Since most UI screens can be accurately described in one or two paragraphs, it's no wonder they can be represented in much detail in a relatively small embedding vector.
People used to write assembly language manually too, writing the most simple control structures over and over hand crafted for each case.
This is even more automation of drudgery and easy repetitive work.

#73Slowly realising my father was right and should work for our family business (construction).
Maybe we’ll have the robot equivalent of TFA in 20 years. “I need a new garage that looks roughly like this sketch.” Half a day later…

#74Earlier quoted context omitted.
I’m confused - what are you specifically having problems with? I’m not logged in and the site loaded fine on mobile and then again on desktop. The video played immediately, I didn’t see any ads. Are you hoping to be able to comment without an account? That’s usually not how things work. I’m guessing this is another case of Elon induced nerd grumpiness?
Not who you’re replying to but: Im on iOS using the HACK app and the built in safari web view wouldn’t play the videos, and same in chrome. So now I’ve given up. Also, if I clicked into the tweet (xeet?) in the web view and hit “open in system browser”, I just got an X “something went wrong” page. Also if I opened the first video that failed to play, closed it, and clicked the second video, the first would attempt to…

I use HACK on iOS without any account and everything renders fine, the video plays with no issue for me.

#75Lets make ourselves redundant. At least I won't have to relearn JS every 2 weeks.
These little demos of toy UIs are cute but humans can still hold the context of a whole codebase in their heads. We're not quite at the level (yet) of feeding a whole codebase to an LLM and making it add features or make changes while understanding the big picture of the problem being solved, being consistent with the design principles and coding style of the overall existing codebase. And I'm not even talking about…

We are one step away from that. All we need is a more advanced form of fine tuning.
Re: I think I need to go lie down
#76I mean, cool, but surely if this is a technical feat it speaks more to the complexity of our tooling and platforms than it does the impressiveness of AI. What I'm trying to say is that all of this is pretty primitive if you built the right tooling to express those ideas trivially. Like even a 6 year old could create noughts and crosses if the paradigm they were using allowed them to express the game rules in a way that was natural to them. So yes, while I think this is cool, I don't get how it warrants the hype and hysteria. It makes me sad that this minor technical accomplishment seems impressive because the web is an unintuitive medium for expressing logic entangled with UI.

#77Isn’t the whole point of all this so I don’t need to use a web UI anymore? I can just tell the computer what I want and it does it, then I can go about my life?
Telnet is the future! We've gone full circle.

FF + Nitter Redirect extension solved most of the problems I had with Twitter.

Also when logged out on mobile I find that it just fails to load and you get an error with a try again, and that try again never works.
Re: I think I need to go lie down
#80That's the equivalent of a todo app. How about something more complicated?
Same thing I tell my toddler any time he gains a new skill and people try to act impressed. Like bro come on I've been doing that for literal decades.
