#52It's bittersweet, isn't it. Software is solved, but at a terrible cost.
How is it solved? LLMs cannot think new things, they can only cobble something together if it's in their training set.
What? This is a massive misunderstanding. It’s easy to get truly novel ideas from LLMs, unless your definition of “new things” is so strict that no human can do so either.
The training set is about patterns, not facts or specific configurations. Yes, it’s possible to extract (some) of the training set verbatim, but that doesn’t mean it’s all you can do.

It does not think at all. It vibes based on its training and any additional bolted on constraints. It is a quite simple automation that only works by huge amount of existing data. Modern man has grown quite dumb. He only seems to be able to "invent" by massive scaling things that are decades or centuries old..
Out of curiousity, can you share a human invention that is not merely scaling things that were decades or centuries old at the time?
Fire? The wheel? Archimedes screw, maaaaybe?

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.
Yes you have to understand when the log stuck in CNC machine, if you want to put the carpentry analogy to its extreme.
I love programming CNC machines; I am a terrible carpenter. Someone still has to tell the LLMs what to build, specify design constraints and goals, etc

Yes, the easy part is still there.

#57A perfect example of a coding agent guided by a human with domain knowledge.
Intuition + obsessive detail-oriented execution = results

Resolution-wise it hasn't due to the extensive use of early CGI.
That CGI looks quite OK, and even surpasses much of "modern" CGI. Have you ever seen "Flash"? This is considering the effects were done in 1990. Edit: a lot of what people think is CGI in T2 is actually NOT. https://www.facebook.com/StanWinstonSchool/videos/bullet-hit...
Some confuse style with quality.
There was a lot of cartoon animation done by hand in the 1930. Frame by frame drawn, far superior to modern animation. However the styles are different, and some prefer one style of animation over another.

I've just noticed in the 'full version' linked to in the reddit comments, it's a poorly done 480i -> 480p, and the interlace fields are reversed.
If you watch the panning in the original star-scape at the start of the video, you'll see it jittering back and forth as it pans. Sad. If properly converted to 480p, that scene would be super-smooth too.
(It's less apparent elsewhere, unless there is side-scrolling)

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.

Isn't that Accelerando?
A major difference is that Blindsight is actually readable and enjoyable. Also, vampires in space.
