@Oz04241842@MikeDrucker The biggest difference I notice between people curious about these new tools and those dead set against them is the anti-AI people have to insult and dehumanize the curious to make their argument. Thats never the side that ages well.
@Rec_A_Dork@MikeDrucker You couldn’t even bother to proof read your tweet but you expect me to read it?
You also didn’t even bother to think through the implications of your screed, that you’re saying only corporations with millions of dollars should make ambitious games. Sure man. Good luck
@Oz04241842@MikeDrucker Hold onto this thought. The AI tools good enough to make games have only been out 2 months, so you’re only seeing the slop results. Within 6 months you’ll see the biggest explosion of ambitious games ever, and you’re going to have to crawl back this ignorant certainty
@djwhatley@Tenacious_Diaz If you understood the tools and were saying this you might have a point. But you’re just betraying that you haven’t used these tools in the ways other people are experiencing the benefits of, so you’re making a mockery of human discernment by showing none of it.
@Scobleizer@leevalueroach Sorry, but why would robotoxis represent an ultimate growth machine? Taxis have existed forever, and as far as I know have not been on a perpetual growth path.
@ClaudiaTheDev If the level of hand coding is directly tied to the level of problem solving, then everyone should use assembler. Otherwise this is an opening for focusing more attention on solving higher level problems, which is extremely good
@GeorgeCrudo Give it a year, this might just be lagging indicators. To those who know what these tools are now capable of this is like saying people 100 years ago don’t want a model T, they’re happy with their horses thanks
@jsnnsa@J4GameDev I am one of these people working on one of these right now, I suspect I’m probably “weirdly specific niche” but I’m hoping I’ll also get points for “totally new thing no one’s seen before”. I’m a month in, progress is amazing, I suspect it’ll still be several months to get to v1
The biggest misread of anyone predicting the end of software engineering was imagining that the world only needed a certain amount of software, and bringing automation to the field would reduce the need for labor.
Exactly the opposite is happening where essentially most things are actually turning into software. Because agents can use tools, work with computers, write software on the fly, and process data like humans (but far faster), we can now throw “software” at problems that never could reasonably be digitized before.
What that leads to is the role of engineering taking on greater importance in the economy, because we can now engineer far more systems and processes than were possible before.
If you’re a bank trying to do new forms of trading, engineers are often your first bet. If you are in life sciences, you expect more and more research and lab work to be engineering centric. If you’re in manufacturing, you’re trying to automate more of the supply chain, all that is engineering. More and more work is shaped like software problems.
Yes we’re not going to be coding manually in the future. But almost everything will be code, which means those that understand it are in a fantastic position.
@Scobleizer@Starscream_SJC Starlink and Starship are products. Cybercab and cyber truck are products. This is more like The Boring Company - it’s a spinning plate to distract from bad economics on other ventures at the moment
@Scobleizer@Starscream_SJC Product as in a thing that will be sold to consumers. If fewer than 100 exist of something it’s a marvel/oddity. And this is a cool one! But no humans will be buying cars that are optimized entirely for two second rocket bunny hops at any kind of scale. Cool stunt though!
@Scobleizer@Starscream_SJC I get it, but don’t you see the other side too? This is cool in the way a James Bond stunt is cool, but this will never be a product. It’s clear he did it to distract from the upcoming devaluation of Tesla stock in a SpaceX merger. Is that just not relevant to you?
@NoodleHouseAlex@twumblunni In case you have an ounce of intellectual curiosity here’s the most prestigious mathematician in America on the “stolen” results, but what does he know?
TERENCE TAO:
“OpenAI did make a major breakthrough [on quasi-Riemann Hypothesis] the biggest advance on the subject in 50 years. A massive new zero-free region, very clever new technique.
Well, it’s sort of a combination of three or four existing ideas, arranged in a very unusual way. It’s not something I think any single mathematician alive would have come up with.
I think if you got the right people to work together and locked them in a room, they might have come up with this after lots of trial and error.”
@NoodleHouseAlex@twumblunni You should probably read something by the top academics in math like Terence Tao. You’re actually doing the thing where you’re just leading from your own self-determined conclusions. Look up what the founder of Linux is saying about recent AI coding tools jfc
@NoodleHouseAlex@twumblunni No I’m reporting from my own experience working extensively with these models for years. Good luck with your self-defined reality!
@NoodleHouseAlex@twumblunni My response wasn’t to you, but your “math problems haven’t been peer reviewed” line is just you dismissing reality, you clearly haven’t actually investigated this at all, many are lean proofs that can be verified through the math alone
