Still works as long as you don't care about recent results and are okay with filtering for pre-2023 answers. (So like, 20% as useful, but still...)

Oh, this is cute and a great first game! I'm working on my first game as well (a top-down 2D tower defense game). What engine or framework did you end up going with? I looked into Unity, tried Godot for a few weeks, but landed on just

I agree with you on everything you said here except: > when you know how the thing works and have that mental context, you will always be faster than an AI That's just plain false, honestly. No one can type at the speed AI can code,

Oh yeah, I did a deep-dive into neural networks (both artificial and human) for vision processing, it's super dope stuff. The human vision processing system is remarkably similar to some of the AI stuff we've built for image proce

TBH this alone is worth $20 (but don't tell OpenAI that).

I was wrong & you called me out on it, not rude, all good. My first software job out of college was actually a QA Automation / SDET position, wrote an automated framework with Ruby + Selenium + Browserstack which did take screensho

Huh! Well, I stand corrected. I've never seen that done (but I've only worked at startups with < 20 headcount for my entire software career so far, so that might be why).

...yes, I'm aware of what a checksum is.

Not sure if you're getting what I'm saying. No one that I've seen takes automated screenshots of webapps or games or what have you at pre-determined timestamps to make sure the app looks pixel-identical with every change. (

Sure, it's been done before, and I'm sure not just limited to SGI, but no one does this for regular apps these days - never heard of it before. I just find it neat that Codex came up with this - not something I ever would have.

Codex's precision and attention to detail is *crazy* when set up correctly

Wow. This prompt is incredibly well engineered.

You're right - the odds of success are incredibly slim. But we may only have one shot, because the first mid-air collision in this analogy could literally be the end of the world.

Ah. This makes more sense. Thanks.

What are you talking about? They didn't train a model for this. That's why it's so impressive.

Not the brightest, but a valiant attempt for a lower-iq...entity, I'd say.

FWIW I agree with you, but was attempting to provoke the discussion of "what is intelligence" before strictly taking that opposing stance to the parent comment.

What is intelligence? What are indicators that something/someone is intelligent?

Neural nets (particularly RNNs) can emulate arbitrary turing machines, so therefore are capable of said logical processing. LLMs might have to be coaxed into doing this, but with enough trying you can get them to be more rational/logic
