@idavidrein Guys can take a lot of time to read clues. A girl I really liked actually kissed me out of the blue, on a birthday. I didn't really respond, because I thought it happened by accident.

@ESYudkowsky I don't agree. Ideas become easier to implement, so the technical skill will be less important, but still someone needs to provide direction to guide the AI to create something you like. The same probably applies to programming. We will become more like directors.

@VictorTaelin Nice example! Claude 3 has a really hard time to solve this. Even after telling it to look for mistakes and try again a few times it still fails. GPT-4 succeeds when you ask it to write a python program to solve it. But it then proceeds to explain the steps wrong.
