I dunno. I kinda agree, but I don't see LLMs churning out anything particularly good. They're just text search, they can only *reproduce*, and a lot of the 'comp sci' of the last 30 years is pure hooey, and it's all there in the training models.
When things like Rust appear, and actually run at the speeds that things *should* run at on modern hardware, it reminds me not everybody out there is an idiot.
At the point where software can innovate, we'll be debating conciousness. Again.

@megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social Just the other day a coworker sent me a Rust-based C compiler that Anthropic built, which is apparently capable of compiling the Linux kernel: https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler I understand where you're coming from, but it really feels like game over to me at this point.
