Hopefully it won't be another preinstalled bloatware app like Image Playground. macOS enshittification has been greatly accelerating, even giving Win 11 Home a run for its money.

You don't give it tasks. You give it what you want. It decides the tasks, and then executes. Then you give it feedback. "black-box approach" here is just a fancy word for vibe coding.

English-only was also the norm for many years. First you make it work, then you make it accessible. But there's no reason to dial back on accessible formats once you have them.

AI will give us good results, in fact it already has. But like medicine, there will be side effects that will be felt by a lot of people, short-term and long-term. But AGI is to software what a miracle drug is to medicine. Maybe it exists, but we haven't the faintest clue on how to go about it.

because these slop projects have a single dev. And if that dev happens to have a macbook, then that's that.

You can't have multi-platform support without external contributors, and of course you can't have external contributors when one dude is pumping out +2.5M LOC in a week.

No you're right, this code is terrible. Running a linter like clang-tidy would surface many issues. Not sure why the LLM didn't think of ever doing that.

People who think this do not understand LLMs. LLMs thrive in abstractions just like humans. Assembly code introduces far too much entropy, requires far too much context and documentation, and is far too easy to get horribly wrong. Even after generating large amounts of synthetic training data, it will never be practical.

The difference is Codex couldn't shake its preference for making flashy, loud, obnoxious marketing websites that look like they're trying to sell you a SaaS. This website looks like it wants my money. Meanwhile the website from op is simple, focused, and far more comedic than codex's slew of AI-generated "jokes".

Of course I am familiar with learning from Q&A with LLMs. I'm talking about agents creating full interactive courses with a thought-out curriculum. It's typically been avoided due to LLM's tendency to hallucinate, but these days, swarms of Opus agents corroborating are near-infallible at deciding fact from fiction.

Looks useful. Was AI used to generate the content? Not an accusation, I'm just personally curiosity about a future where AI can be used to upskill us rather than the opposite.

I don't doubt there's a human touch, but the point is art school and being a designer are orthogonal to what would have made this project impressive in the past. This project interfaces with deep and partially undocumented macOS internals. A few years ago this project would have been a pet project of a master systems programmer.

I don't think that making software should be gatekept. I suppose it's a bit melancholy that software has to be appreciated differently now.
