That movie has aged incredibly well!
The future seems more like Blindsight [1]: hyper-intelligent, completely unconscious systems outperform, out-manipulate, and out-compete human beings purely through automated efficiency.

#43The blog mentions a Graphing Calculator. Not sure if it shares code, but macOS still ships with an app to draw graphs, Grapher.app
The app on your Mac today isn't a rewrite of the legendary Mac OS 7.2.1 Graphing Calculator, but an acquired app based on Curvus Pro introduced in OSX Tiger. The first one has a legendary backstory. 2 devs snuck into Apple after their project was canceled: https://www.pacifict.com/Story/ Curvus Pro: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/curvus-pro
“We looked at each other, took a deep breath, and launched the application. The monitor burst into flames. We calmly carried it outside to avoid setting off smoke detectors, plugged in another monitor, and tried again.”

Feels like it might be pertinent to share more details than simply the error code. What country? How are you connecting? Anything out of the ordinary with your setup that might be the cause?
Perhaps it blocks any non-USA connection.

Carpenters would have cried if all their work was reduced to shoving the logs into CNC machines. Yes there is still human input but it requires comparatively no skill or depth and it gets easier by the month. If I were lobotimized today I'd still be able to function as half-assed architect to AIs anyway. When was the last time you read fighting distractions/getting "in the zone"/complaint about open space offices thr…
But it's not like "shoving the logs into CNC machines". You have to understand what they are doing and point them into the right direction. LLMs very often lack common sense once you move out of easy things.

Honestly conflating coding with typing tells me your idea of coding is very different to what I used to do.
Coding is literally writing code, instructions in plain text that control the behavior of computer. That implies knowing which instructions to write. But creating software is much more than that. Just like writing an essay involves more than just typing words. Other activities include: Architecture, Requirements analysis, Debugging, Testing, Integration,…

#49It's bittersweet, isn't it. Software is solved, but at a terrible cost.
Why is it bittersweet? Carpenters probably didn't cry when their tools improved. It will be bittersweet when there's no human needed at the wheel but IMHO we are far, far from that. These models/agents are just mimicking human text and need guidance because they often get lost or stuck.

As a story, yes. But Terminator failed on a basic premise: Skynet becoming self-aware. The future seems more like Blindsight [1]: hyper-intelligent, completely unconscious systems outperform, out-manipulate, and out-compete human beings purely through automated efficiency.
