You “must weep”? All you’ve demonstrated were large amounts of laughter in the video and unfettered enthusiasm and encouragement in the text. Where exactly is the weeping?
Paste the post text to chatgpt and ask chatgpt instead.
Then weep.
It sounds like he got exactly what he wanted to.
>I must admit, though, that the thing that scared me most about HudZah was that he seemed to be living in a different technological universe than I was. If the previous generation were digital natives, HudZah was an AI native.
The one thing I'm somewhat ambivalent about is that LLMs are extremely atomizing. It's incredibly easy to go offline for months on end when you're talking to your computer.
If I got hit by a bus in 2005 when I was contributing to Linux and Postgres there were people who would pick up what I was doing and carry it forward.
If I get hit by a bus today, unless someone went through my chats, no one would really have any idea what I'd been working on and carry it on. I have a suspicion that a ton of the best and brightest have gone dark for this reason in the last two years.
Why use AI to make good content, when you can take unremarkable content and add the string "AI" to pretend it's interesting. You could have just done an old-school web search for this! https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Build-a-Fusion-Reactor-... https://makezine.com/projects/nuclear-fusor/ https://fusor.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=3247 The "artificially intelligent" aspect is trivial.
> He was using his computer in a much, much different way than I’d seen someone use their computer before, and it made me feel old and alarmed by the number of new tools at our disposal and how HudZah intuitively knew how to tame them. It also excited me. Just spending a couple of hours with HudZah left me convinced that we’re on the verge of someone, somewhere creating a new type of computer with AI built into its c…
It seems like every now and then we get someone doing dangerous science experiments in their backyards that threaten not only themselves but their neighbors as well. Brings to mind David Hahn, only worse since with AI the odds of it hallucinating a step and causing a serious problem is much higher.
Also I would like to see some evidence how dangerous the experiment with the AI inspired Fusor actually was. I recently read here "hiking in jeans" is dangerous.

We now have good evidence that AI-assisted learning can be substantially more effective than traditional methods, at incredibly low marginal cost.

The trick is to still use the same underlying information, but forwarded to you by a large language model, that way you can take most of the credit yourself. How unsensational of an article would it be, if you said you followed a step by step guide and built the thing the guide built before. But slap an LLM between yourself and the tutorial and now you can suddenly say you built something with the help of AI. Weird t…
Reminds me of all these YouTubers making video essays parotting something they have just learned, without actually mastering the subject.
