Want PBS to stick around? Make it so anybody who's sticking on chat GPT gets great answers from PBS and every time ChatGPT scrapes it, PBS gets money.

Is it extremely difficult? Obviously. Will it work? Probably not, very few things do. Is it a great thing that some folks are doing it and trying to make it work so that we can have a functional media ecosystem in a post-social-media age? Absolutely.

I don't think it's gonna happen instantly, but it will happen, and Mojo/Modular are really the only language platform I see taking a coherent approach to it right now.

Even with Jax, PyTorch, HF Transformers, whatever you want to throw at it--the dx for cross-platform gpu programming that are compatible with large language models requirements specifically is extremely bad.

I think this may end up be the most important thing that Lattner has worked on in his life (And yes, I am aware of his other projects!)

We know how James Webb works and it's developed by an international consortium of researchers. One of our most trusted international institutions, and very verifiable.

We do not know how Genie works, it is unverifiable to non-Google researchers, and there are not enough technical details to move much external teams forward. Worst case, this page could be a total fabrication intended to derail competition by lying about what Google is _actually_ spending their time on.

We really don't know.

I don't say this to defend the other comment and say you're wrong, because I empathize with both points. But I do think that treating Google with total credulity would be a mistake, and the James Webb comparison is a disservice to the JW team.

Kind of like flow-based programming. I don't think there are any fundamental reason why it can't work, it just hasn't yet.

It sounds like the problem is that nobody in the org ever writes down what the system does in the real implementation, and so the RFC becomes the default? That does sound frustrating, but it's also not the problem/solution pairing that the article tries to tackle. Also—that is explicitly what generated docs solve.

Documents should be unix-y (do one thing well), is maybe how I would rephrase this. If they're overloaded, that is genuinely a bad thing, but RFCs do have a time and place!

That said, I'd re-emphasize your perception slightly — "perceive it as not being _uniquely_ anti-AI" is more how I view it. I see similar sentiment on other social media too.
