I mean there’s a bubble, human ego. 🫧
Opus 4.6 literally built a C compiler and people still think there is an AI bubble.

Twitter needs a “Turn on notifications for this post” feature. Happy to pay $8 for it. 🔔

#EdgewoodFire has shown yet again what a valuable source of info @twitter is. Hope @elonmusk doesn’t kill it.

Google is executing the multi-persona play nicely! Currently I'm logged in into 6 google accounts at the same time and I didn't realize it. Personal gmail, personal domain, work account, youtube, etc.

1) Monday night was a night I’ll never forget. I’m still speechless. I got to take the first ride, by anyone, ever, in a *driverless* robotaxi on the streets of San Francisco. This was officially ride #1 for @Cruise. Full story and vids below. youtube.com/watch?v=dmvZBiWY…
Love Twitter’s idea of encouraging sharing our Twittaversary. Today is my 11th. Can they do nicer celebratory pics and perhaps NFT them while they are at it? Thnx. #MyTwitterAnniversary

Read all the twitter jokes about GitHub Copilot already, but what are realistic predictions for 10 and 20 years from now? I feel like UI coding and SQL writing (analytical queries) are going to be all automated in 10-15 years time. copilot.github.com/

Follow up: What would be a fast way to make a UI without coding? NLP is too slow "make me a calculator app that runs on iPhone and has X and Y features" but I also hate wizards: "What app are you building: 1) mobile 2) desktop?". Perhaps a high level abstract coding language.
Step in the right direction :)
ACM has recently learned of concerns regarding statements made in the past by Jeffrey Ullman, one of this year’s Turing Award recipients. These statements do not reflect the views of ACM.
