I really doubt it's like a "solid junior developer". If it could do the work of a solid junior developer it would be making programming projects 10-100x faster because it can do things several times faster than a person can. Maybe it can write solid code for certain tasks but that's not the same thing as being a junior developer.

I think it was deliberate but just as a joke.

This doesn't seem very helpful at all. First it seems impossibly difficult to execute and probably won't benefit the artists much.

>Not, if the worker is an engineer or similar. Some engineers built tools that improved building tools

Those engineers consented to creating the new tools so that's different

How is it "technically correct"? It's just plain wrong.

> You only see top programmers who started as kids and probably won some Olympiads and programming competitions, and this continued in their 20s and maybe kept their skill up till 30s but that's about it. What do they do after that?

I know in mathematics, winning the math olympiad makes someone far more likely to win the Fields medal, but I haven't heard of a similar correlation in programming (e.g. for the Turing award).

I don't see how being a young prodigy gives someone an advantage in most of the programming world.

How in the world is that disingenuous? That's the direct implication.

> As any generalization this one too is, of course, incorrect.

His statement wasn't a generalization to repeating this back does not make sense.

I mean that's where the term came from, after all.

I think the description in the article was actually good. In particular, the part where they say:

> This is the metaphor used to describe the unpredictability of chaotic systems:tiny uncertainties in the initial conditions of a system grow and grow until they completely destroy the accuracy of any forecast

This doesn't seem too far off from you say.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a bad experiment. Anyone familiar with DALL-E would predict this result. He should have taken some time to understand what DALL-E can do and proposed an actually interesting experiment.

I think it's just a bad experiment. The author must have been truly ignorant about the capabilities and utilities of DALL-E if he thought this experiment would yield interesting results.

If he didn't deliberately to make DALL-E look bad than he did it out of ignorance of what DALL-E's strengths and weaknesses are. Your evaluation of what is "simple" and what is "more complex" aren't in line with what DALL-E is capable of.

DALL-E isn't good with symbols like letters and numbers. It can't do even very much logical / mathematical reasoning. So a graph is one of the worst choices.

What it can do is make aesthetically pleasing images that match basic descriptions. So there are more "complex" images that DALL-E can produce than basic graphs.

Well that's what mathematicians like to do.

My understanding of this situation is that they found a way to multiply 4x4 matrices that requires fewer multiplications than Strassen's . This implies that that can generalize to a way to multiply n x n matrices with a better theoretical complexity than Strassen's algorithm.

I don't see anything wrong with this situation. People who exhibit profit-seeking behavior (entrepreneurs) can make much more money than people don't exhibit profit-seeking behavior (PhD students). That sounds like a reasonable system to me.

> goal post moving

You're being silly. The guy is explaining his perspective. He's explaining what he believes and why he believes it. He's not writing a thesis or constructing some logical argument. This isn't a debate. Applying the term "goal post moving" to this makes absolutely no sense.

I just feel like you're taking a confrontational approach rather than just trying to understand his position. Nothing he says is inherently contradictory.
