This is useful for everyone not just non-techy types. I can't help but compare this to sites like shadertoy that let you develop with a simple coding interface on one half the screen and the output on the other (as opposed to the regular complexity of setting up and using a dev environment) Code goes here>{} , Press this button>[] , Output here>() , Which I think we need more of if we want to get kids into coding.

It does shed light on a possibly better solution though that gives the user a list of simple, common use case options or access to the full interface.

I do feel quite strongly that this should be implemented in the app though.

There must be examples of this approach already being used?

gimp has been my goto when I want to explain bad ui, developer designed ui, or just typical foss ui I'm glad they're fixing it. It's also my image editor of choice.

I also thought this when I read the abstract. input=prompt output=response does make more sense.

Someone has to do 'Way of Air Traffic Control' and write second rate asian philosophy inspired poetry about how planes aren't really an important part of the job and will just land themselves.

I would really prefer it if it was satire. I don't think people posting this all over the place saying how amazeballs it is get that it's a joke, and I'm not 100% convinced myself. It just looks horribly pretentious.

Asking the model to write a shader. They are getting better at this but are still very bad at producing (code that produces) specific imagery.

I do have to write prompts that stump models as part of my job so this thread is of great interest

Yep, you were onto something. Everything is so useful, almost vital now. If it were cross-platform and had a text-search option it would be perfect. I think the only other limitation is the columns for search and sort are but a handful. Though index and search would presumably be slower, so it would need to be optional.

There is something very click-baity about articles like this. There always seems to be the implication that these examples are completely independent emergent behaviour, like the AI has suddenly acquired self awareness and a need for self preservation from nowhere. Usually when you did deeper you find the entire process was guided, or the AI was given an objective, and carte blanche on how to achieve it, along with privileged data and admin access that it did not need to achieve it's goals. The machines, believe it or not, still do exactly what we tell them to do.

I thought that simplicity was part of the appeal. Have you tried WGSL? It is a bit more complex, but I'm finding it quite fun to work with.

Weird that there's no mention of Rayleigh–Bénard convection, or the very similar phenomena at giant's causeway.

Thanks! I guess strictly you'd have to include this page, which would put the total internet data in the (roughly) ronnabyte or quettabyte range, with nearly all of it being this page.

What percentage of the 100+ Zettabytes of data now on the internet does this page take up?

By all accounts he did die suddenly. Whether it was suicide is for a coroner to determine. I think that's the reason for the seemingly obtuse language. Edit - The article does mention a death certificate confirming suicide, so you're right - the wording is a bit odd.
