<p>> Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs.<p>> Jarred was a stinky manager. Poor communication, unrealistic expectations, low empathy, no experience. Just a total shit show<p>Are these claims false, though?</p>

<p>Claude can one-shot a C compiler just fine. It just won't produce great code. But with all the C code out there in the wild, it won't have a shortage of things to test on, which is mostly what coding agents need to complete a task.</p>

<p>The weights themselves are inert. It would be like complaining that a brain preserved in formaldehyde isn't thinking.<p>What you need is a loop. And if you try running an LLM in a loop with internet access, it will eventually use it.</p>

<p>That very much depends on your target audience (but also Firefox has partial support these days). However WebGL is widely available and can be used as a fallback - it might be less efficient but for models this small it can still be acceptable.</p>

<p>You're right that we could already feed everyone with a different distribution of produced wealth. That part is not something that AI will change (although it would raise the resulting standard of living).<p>What it does change is the basic equation underlying capitalism as an economic system: a few people concentrate capital in their hands, but capital by itself is useless without labor, so they <i>have</i> to hire workers to produce something useful with all that capital that they own. The workers get a shit sandwich, comparatively speaking (given the amount of wealth they generate), but they do get something out of it. The system is stable overall because, while a better arrangement is possible, most people - even low-wage workers - have too much to lose to riot.<p>With AI that can do most work, the capital <i>no longer needs labor</i>. People who own all the robots can just have them produce whatever they need. Everybody else is then "economically redundant", and the whole system collapses because people aren't going to sit around and starve because there are no longer jobs to be had - and at this point they have nothing left to lose and everything to gain by rebelling and taking over the capital.</p>

<p>These are all implementation details.<p>At the end of the day, an LLM is just a very big mathematical function. That is, by definition, deterministic. A particular implementation might give up on determinism for the sake of higher efficiency, but it you <i>want</i> a deterministic LLM, it can absolutely be done.</p>

<p>I'm genuinely curious as to what you're working on that you find 4B models good enough. I wouldn't even let a 27B model code, never mind supervising smaller models.</p>

<p>Never trust a single session.<p>Things improve drastically however if you spin up a second session and ask it to adversarially review everything that the first session produces (this goes for everything: not just code, but also design, planning, and explanations).<p>This works even better if you use models from different families to do so.</p>

<p>You tell it, "let's brainstorm, don't implement anything yet". Then you talk about what you want to build and hammer out all the corner cases. Then you tell it "now do that".</p>
