An hour ago I asked Anthropic Fable 5 to build a music ear training app. I gave it a short prompt and asked it to make all product, design, and engineering decisions. Try the app it built in a single shot: https://t.co/I1gHVOPf9O . It’s so good. Compare with the app Sonnet 4.6 built in Feb (https://t.co/kfnaafWKxO) and the first time I tried back in March 2023: https://t.co/pU75HCowHR .

@ojoshe Thanks! I'll play with that and see how it comes out. Another related idea someone mentioned is puts links to jupyter notebooks prefilled to try out concepts.

@stevesi Thanks for sharing @stevesi and honored you found it valuable. As I say in ch 1, the book came from a compulsion to understand the details of this alien intelligence we humans invented.

I followed @karpathy's advice on @dwarkesh_sp's podcast and re-implemented nanochat with no copying and pasting. Finally, finally I understand things I always wanted to know about how ChatGPT works. I wrote everything up in a book. Here’s a free online draft: https://t.co/jhMBq9RZjt Covers every calculation → multi-GPU training, tool use, evals. Great way to build fundamental intuition that will help you keep up with AI and/or to get oriented while playing with nanochat yourself. Feedback welcome.

@mortenjust Tried my own version of this just now using your starting prompt. It's insane. https://t.co/Sf9I90PQnD

And finally it tells me (I think correctly) that it's not possible:

How should I think about ChatGPT hallucinating APIs? I wanted to create a google docs tool that sends a paragraph to ChatGPT for polishing and then inserts the diff as suggestions. Like this:

I guess this is a "creative solution"
