This is the way. As a software developer, I fire up GPT4 at start of day, and use it all day. It's far better than stackoverflow, geeksforgeeks, tutorialspoint, and all the rest. On a typical day I probably ask half a dozen or so questions. It saves me research time and helps me avoid poorly written and half-working code.

Good point. I wonder, though, if it might have emergent behavior at some point.

+1 Best ever signature

Well said. It is a fire that grows by consuming itself

Sorry, this is not true. Applications like chatgpt perform continuous learning even after the initial training is completed. Also, the developer may periodically update the algorithms and training data.

There are about hella-cubed protons in the observable universe

We need to nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Devlivery would be a great new term. A bespoke developer indentured to an equity lord.

Does anyone have a good car analogy?

So interesting, thanks!

+1 Not sure I would want to work with either one of them.

Quite possibly the best post ever written, to anything.

Nicely said, thanks.

Here's a project. Model how any small part of the Interplanetary Transport Network works. Then please send it to me. Here is a paper to help you get started: http://www2.esm.vt.edu/~sdross... Have fun coding!

+1 for "scraping at dirt with a bricklayer's trowel"
