Are you going to join codex team as well? I am curious about how the codex code base will evolve after you guys joined. It is going to affect Python/Rust toolchains tremendously.
The consumer/producer dichotomy misses another aspect of coding, with or without AI.
About a decade ago, STEM education was trendy and everyone was getting Lego, Raspberry Pi etc to build robots and writing Python in the name of STEM. You can ask LLM what STEM standards for.
The Maker movement is not about consuming or producing for consumption. Some people might get incentive to be influencers and profit off it. But the majority of the kids who went through this process become adults and moved on to be producer/consumer and playing with AI now. I believe their curiosity and creativity.
I finished reading the thin book "Systemantics" by John Gall yesterday (thanks @dang).
I realized that the problem of AI generated/edited content flooding everywhere around us is a symptom of something wrong with the System.
It might have something to do with sensory deprivation. Here is a quote from the book caught my attention because of the word "hallucination":
> As we all know, sensory deprivation tends to produce hallucinations.
> FUNCTIONARY’S FAULT: A complex set of malfunctions induced in a Systems-person by the System itself, and primarily attributable to sensory deprivation.
(As I typed the text above on my iPhone, I was fighting auto completion because AI was trying to “correct” the voice of John Gall and mine to conform the patterns in its training data. Every new character is a fight against Gradient Descend.)
All you need is attention but the cost of attention is getting higher and higher when there is little worth our attention.
Reading a real book is more important than fighting misinformation.
