GPT-4 is just really good at code. We documented some of the examples that we found were crazy amazing and worth hackernews. Including GPT-4's ability to handle bazel, kube, terraform and rust. A summary can be found on this thread: https://twitter.com/sualehasif996/status/1635755267739598848

If you know of any other cool examples or would like us to try something out and add to the repo, please let us know.

If you have access, the repo should be fairly replicable.

Any concerns about sending code directly to a third party? I’m very hesitant to use any tool that is sending my assets to the cloud to be used who knows how.

Not sure about they're policy but OpenAI is addressing the concern.

Yes. The privacy concerns are huge. With that said, id use the shit out of this for open source development where privacy is not a concern.

Well, I think I just retired.

Even knowing this was coming, it's still a bit unnerving. Sad too, but it's for the best. Let the machines program the machines. Schmidhuber's Gödelmachine. The automatic scientist.

It managed to write, in one shot, a working λ-calculus parser, using a very specific programming style I asked it in JavaScript, and then translated it all to Python, including sarcastic, rhyming GLaDOS comments.

It also seems to be extremely competent at writing Agda types and proofs. We need some tool that highly integrates it with entire codebases, allowing for major refactors to be requested as a prompt. That would be groundbreaking (understatement of the year), specially if coupled with a strongly typed language that prevents it from accidentally breaking things up.

I expected this to be at least 20 years away.
