<p>The danger of anthropomorphism is not we elevate the machines, it's that we debase humanity.<p>I also think different ideas get conflated. It may be possible to build a machine that is super-human in the sense it can outperform the human brain in all kinds of measurable ways. Does not imply it possesses all the same qualities of the brain.<p>I respect a number of things Anthropic has published about the ethical issues at stake. But, having an in-house philosopher does invite you to make all kinds of unfalsifiable claims.</p>

<p>Everybody always wants to talk about job losses. It's only part of the larger imperative of preserving human dignity.<p>We don't really have leaders with the maturity and perspective (and lack of self interest) certainly in Government and questionably in tech that can be trusted to advocate for human dignity, so the release of this document from the Pope is a remarkable event.</p>

<p>Hello. Interesting project! Haven't gone through it yet, but want to consider using this in my CS master's capstone. While you have benchmarks I may create my own specific scenarios and comparisons vis-a-vis hosted inference to highlight specific economic benefit. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Don’t quite agree with the implication that if the answer to a problem is readily available (from an LLM) there is no use in the struggle to find the solution.<p>However I think it’s very important to approach such questions objectively, or at least self uninterested, and not as one who’s worried about one’s job or sense of self worth threatened by LLM technology.<p>The value is in the development of one’s own mental faculties. In math classes they tell you you have to work the problems. Even if LLMs become capable of solving entire classes of problems that that set expands over time, the value in developing one’s ability never goes out of style.</p>

<p>Have had good results on MacOS just using codex (or your cli of choice).<p>Have it create a swift app, unless extended permissions are needed it can compile withouy going into xcode.<p>Few simple util apps, disk cleaner, clipboard manager. Worked pretty well.<p>Had better results than using xcode's built in ai extension.</p>

<p>Made a quick bot app (OC clone).  For me I just want to iMessage it - but do not want to give Full Disk rights to terminal (to read the imessage db).<p>Uses Mlx for local llm on apple silicon. Performance has been pretty good for a basic spec M4 mini.<p>Nor install the little apps that I don't know what they're doing and reading my chat history and mac system folders.<p>What I did was create a shortcut on my iphone to write imessages to an iCloud file, which syncs to my mac mini (quick) - and the script loop on the mini to process my messages. It works.<p>Wonder if others have ideas so I can iMessage the bot, im in iMessage and don't really want to use another app.</p>

<p>Compilation is transforming one computing model to another. LLMs aren't great at everything, but seem particularly well suited for this purpose.<p>One of the first things I tried to have an llm do is transpile. These days that works really well. You find an interesting project in python, i'm a js guy, boom js version. Very helpful.</p>
