Yesterday my 8yo prompted (using voice recognition) Claude to make a game where it would play her a song (say Twinkle) and she had to play it back and get scored. The UI was a nice piano with visual feedback. The laptop key served as the keys until I prompted for midi support so she could use the electric piano. The whole thing took about 15 minutes.

Interestingly, I have personally felt this way about projects in which I was involved in the past(written both by me and by others)…

sometimes starting from scratch just faster and/or easier.

I wonder. I remember before emissions, what's underneath a car hood was relatively organized and simple. Then with emissions it became a maze of vacuum hoses and so much other nonsense. then ... in some places (maybe cars that people care about working on) it became cleaner again. In the other places, they added a second hood to hide the mess. There is some clean code out there, like maybe the seL4 kernel: https://gi…

Those cleaner looking engine bays are usually worse to work on. Not better.

When you open up the hood and immediately see lines everywhere, that also means they’re within reach. This is great.

The engine bays that look nice and clean for the showroom still have those same lines. They’re just buried in there. If you need to work on them you’re going to be reaching underneath things, climbing under the car, or even removing other parts to access something simple.

Also, it’s not all about emissions. A lot of those lines are for modern comforts like cruise control and improvements like features that make cold starts easier or make the engine behave better at extreme temperatures. Some of those have been superseded by electronically controlled versions which is why some of those lines are disappearing on modern cars, but the overall complexity has increased further.

Had this song in my head, wrote some lyrics, hummed it into Suno, generated the song. I love listening to it. What a world. I make little tools like that all the time. My GitHub is filled with these little things I write or gen once never to be used again. Some of them I use daily (GitHub.com/dexterlagan). Since LLMs became decent I make even more of these. The more we move forward, the more people make things for th…

I understand your frustration, but I don't agree with the sentiment that AI-training should not be allowed without compensation.

If I learn to draw, make music, build stuff, etc. I look at what others have done before me. I don't pay anyone either. Why should the AI?

Good luck to future models figuring out which weird section of code are bugs and which are features.

I have a 1981 Volvo 244 and I'm very happy none of the hoses are hidden.

That's because people like me were doing that and writing about it 20+ years ago. Everything from Claude comes from human minds.

Yes, technology at step N is built from technology at step N-1. Always has been.

Agreed. I love that. I'm where I am because of billions of humans before me cutting paths. Its why I like building for the next generation.

This is just plagiarism. No new step exists at all.

Eh, not really. It's the same issue with porting. You always rely on features you didn't properly articulate.
