The top-level commenter asked for suggestions, already spends "every evening" talking to LLMs about their wife's issue, and LLMs can help and have helped people with intractable medical issues.

But Nestle’s pump not only doesn’t deplete the well, it’s adding to it!

What's disgusting about the suggestion?

Agreed odds are low, but Rosie the dog was saved largely with the help of much weaker models than we’ve got today.

Indeed. Your point?

I'd be surprised if we don't get close to longevity escape velocity this century, given the rate of AI progress.

Depends on how in-the-loop you want to be. I personally delegate all the writing of the code to agents, but I maintain a clear mental model of the architecture, which I come up with by iterating and prototyping with agents. I can use Luna for all of this, although I switch depending on the task. It's nice to be able to throw a 1,000 word rough spec at Fable and get a personal tool that works perfectly though. I expect that as the models get better, I'll continue to be in the loop, but operate at increasingly higher levels of abstraction.

Yeah, the main value of this for OAI is probaby to speedup RSI

I disagree with Musk's politics but it does not impact my decision to use Grok. That's because being serious about aligning my capital to my values doesn't leave much in the way of eligible products or services. I consequently decide not to worry about this as a moral axis for my life.

We've seen plenty of examples of apps successfully vibe coded by non technical people, including apps making real revenue.

Your friend could start with telling the LLM that they are a non technical person who wants to make an app and it will explain all the successive steps.

Interesting. Why? My current mental model is that AMD chips are just a bit behind, so, less efficient, but no biggie. Do labs even use CUDA?

As someone who is building an LLM-powered product on the side, using AI coding agents to help with development of said LLM-powered product and for my day job, and has a long-tail of miscellaneous uses for AI, I suspect you're right.

I skimmed through it and it's a simple and concise overview of the language suitable for a beginner. It is by no means exhaustive. Also, haven't seen anything in there that makes it so that it couldn't have been written in 2015

I love this! My suggestion is to not close panels when going back up levels but instead put them in a parallel branch.
