@ArneBab I don’t expect the next industrial revolution even in ten years. Not for all. The problem will not be technological, but political. EU is declining, also politically, and US, while technologically ahead, is plummeting politically. Sure in China things changed a lot, but politically? On […]

@ArneBab LLMs, and neural networks in general, are not automations, as in the narrow sense of fixed workflow or explicitly rule-based processes, used in early industrial automations. What I mean is that the same technology that empowers industrial automation today, is rooted in the theoretical […]

@ArneBab short tooths do not allow for much clarity. I was not talking (only) about SW, I meant that AI will be the main technology for future automation in general. Today, more that 50% of EU large industries use some form of AI, not just LLMs (eurostat), and the figure has steadily grown over […]

@ArneBab I see the usefulness of what you propose, but how much could it really make the difference? Maybe a few % hours? LLMs impact on coding could be at least on order of magnitude greater. The two "fields" cannot be put on the same level, as LLMs hold the potential to crunch working hours on […]

@ArneBab I think we start to focus an important point: we still don’t know how much LLMs use in coding makes sense. And that is true for all prospected LLMs used, from "white collar" tasks, to powering robots, we still need to understand. The hype is undoubtedly high, but to me “coding is […]

@ArneBab nice analysis, but still unconvincing. Living like in the 50s is not really ideal. We need NMRs, EUV lithography, steam turbines, universal elder care. The supply chain for those goods and services is very, very long. An ideal world where all can benefit from resources availability that […]

@ArneBab I think we can agree on the revolutionary magnitude of AI in general. Alphafold was worth a Nobel. As for LLMs, I think we need to develop and tune them to the point where it will be reasonably safe to let them deal with certain coding tasks. Much alike we already do with semiautonomous […]

@ArneBab LLMs scale exponentially with hyperdimensions. Bugs frequent one year ago are rare(er) in LLM code today. And as I said, good specs and tests could render LLMs the “compilers”, compiling natural language into code. Our job would be to write specs and tests (i.e. teach them). What […]

@ArneBab bugs are often inevitable ( cut2.eu/8zg3kr ) even for compilers ( cut2.eu/9uywW1 ). A software needs to meet expectations. Good specs and tests can guarantee in many cases enough confidence to render LLM code viable. As for the “motto”, it all depends how much spare time […]
