> Fortunately, OpenAI has brought us one step closer to realizing Borges’s vision. Rather than generating every possible mathematical paper, they’ve found a way to probabilistically generate things that look correct.
Or at least ask your favorite LLM to read it, then give it your knee-jerk comment and ask it to check if it's already covered on the text. This saves you from wasting time using your own brain.What is all this code being used for? I'm 100% sure it's not going into their harness which has been stagnant.
> Engineers are no less valuable, but their work is changing. All of the engineers who worked on this system would now rate Claude as better at writing code than them. But our engineers still supplied the invaluable understanding of the high-level inter-system components and the design-level tradeoffs, making informed choices around the problems we wanted to solve and the scale we knew we needed to achieve. Very often, we found that the role of the engineers was to tell Claude “no.” Agents will sometimes violate core system constraints to satisfy a pattern that should never have been allowed in the first place.
Well that's exactly what "writing" code always meant? It was never about what volume of code you can write. Better at writing code always meant better at writing good code... So how is Claude better than their engineers?It's incredibly short-sighted to acknowledge that the baby sitters haf to tell Claude no and still not consider what subtle and nasty bugs managed to slip through. Well I guess we'll find out soon enough if that's the case. I'm betting when that's the case.
