You think hallucinating AI will improve quality control for software

In the article he does mention that it's not a 1 to 1 comparison

Yes of course there's only one way to have a succefull life and one should just follow what others before them have already done, in order to be successful, who needs to think for themselves and make choices, just read the financial papers make a lot of money and then when you are dead and forgotten by the world at least you will have all your money to comfort you in the afterlife

Notably, Mr. Buffet didn't do that (per-se). But he certainly copied a bunch of habits which apparently worked for him. Or not. Who knows.

You can't get much beyond the median if you copy other people, unless you're really lucky. But if you handicap yourself constantly too, good luck even hitting the median.

You're right, you are unique and special, everyone else is a blind follower. https://xkcd.com/610/

The book cover makes me think that AI got involved in the book eventually lol

So basically you say the future of web would be everyone gets their own Jarvis, and like Tony you just tell Jarvis what you want and it does it for you, theres no need for a preexisting software or to even write a new one, it just does what's needed to fulfill the given request and give you the results you want. This sounds nice but wouldn't it get repetitive and computationally expensive, life imagine instead of Google maps, everyone just asks the AI directly for the things people typically use Google maps for like directions and location reviews etc. A centralized application like maps can be more efficient as it's optimized for commonly needed work and it can be further improved from all the data gathered from users who interact with this app, on the other hand if AI was allowed to do it's own thing, it could keep reinventing the wheel solving the same tasks again and again without the benefit of building on top of prior work, while not getting the improvements that it would get from the network effect of a large number of users interacting with the same app.

You might end up with ai trying to get information from ai, which saves us the frustration..

knows where we’d end up?

On the other hand the logs might be a great read.

There is some value in the mistakes and limitations of older movies, I am sure if you look it up people who can explain it far better than me can give lots of examples, I saw a video once about the growing trend of analog horror where people intentionally watch older horror movies in older storage and display formats like VHS and CRT televisions, because in many ways the high def modern tv screens and 4K mastered prints actually take away from the atmosphere of the original movie that was made keeping the limitations of the technology of the time. Wes Anderson also talks about how watching the fur pattern constantly changing on the model of King Kong in the black and white stop-motion movie due to the puppeteers touching the model to manipulate it inspired him to do the same in his Fantastic Mr Fox movie

Are they watching made-for-TV movies? Otherwise I’d think the movies would have been made for theater viewing, and watching it in 4k on a big modern TV would be a lot closer to how the creators wanted you to see it than using VHS and an old TV.

It's similar to how old games look so different on modern hardware: the pixel art on a current-day screen looks like high-fidelity perfectly sharp uniformly colored squares, while the "pixel art" of old games rendered on a CRT didn't look like "pixel art" at all but rather like high-fidelity art rendered on a low-fidelity screen. There's a lot of detail implied by the way CRTs render what's encoded in software as perfect squares.

The weird rainbow effects on Sonic's waterfalls are NOT due to the properties of CRT, but a result of the Megadrive's awful composite encoder. Connect the screen through a RGB cable cable, or composite through a 32X, and the resulting image is much cleaner.

Someone created a whole subreddit a few days ago to analyze the effect and post comparison pictures: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fuckingwaterfall/

In that Imgur link I gave, a comment by “Illithidbane” linked to this YouTube video, which is all about the waterfall and RGB vs. composite: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0weL5XDpPs>

The World of Null-A is a book where the binary vs non binary way of thinking is a core theme

You do know that Lana Wachowski intentionally made it as bad as possible to tank the franchise cause she was forced to make the movie or the studio would get someone else to direct it right?

I don’t think this narrative makes sense.

Didn’t she write the movie? And pitch the idea?

Why would she pitch a movie just to purposely make it horrible? If she was forced to make a movie, why not make it good? Or at least not one of the worst movies I’ve seen in years?

The take you mentioned seems more like after the fact justifications for making a horrible film.

More likely, Sickboy's Philosophy is in play. At one point they had it, then they lost it and it's gone forever.

The funny thing is that it's easy to do this

Just ask the executives what kind of movie they have in mind

Didn't know. That's sad to hear. That's Hollywood, baby.

Yeah, the problem with in house frameworks and other such custom code that I face is that the people who wrote it are long gone, the documentation is scattered and many times out of date of the actual code and the code itself is kinda convoluted with little to no comments explaining it. I feel like if LLM's are properly trained on company code and the in house documentation data then this could be a big boon, so that instead of having to search for documents on company cloud drives and chat threads etc, you can just ask the chat AI and it will surface the relevant data to you faster than you could find it yourself.
