Ai and robotics will push us into a golden area for x years until they become so good that we better have an answer to the implications of full automation of everything.
Also the laber shortage is pushing this transition even faster in potential traditional/ slow areas.
I had Claude prototype a few things and for that it's really enjoyable.
Like a single page HTML J's page which does a few things and saves it state in local storage with a json backup feature (download the json).
I also enjoy it for doing things I don't care much but makes it more polished. Like I hate my basically empty readme with two commands. It looks ugly and when I come back to stuff like this a few days/weeks later I always hate it.
Claude just generates really good readmes.
I'm trying out Claude code right now and like it so far.
Besides that I don't think that the prediction thing is a bad thing, there should be an argument that depending on the architecture there can be a self discovery of rules though compression.
The compression leads to rules which could feel like understanding.
People say 'ah it's just a parrot repeating statically most common words' like this alone makes it unimpressive, which it doesn't. Not when an LLM responds to you like it does
If that basic thing talks like a human, why would be a human be something different?
Intelligence isn't that also correlated with speed of connections? At least when you do an IQ test, speed is factored in.
