Claude Fable 5 knows C better than me. Does that make Claude Fable 5 a better C programmer than me? I genuinely have no idea -- I am getting old so there is that. Interesting times indeed. #AI#compsci
I am currently drunk having consumed a whole bottle of chianti .. so there is also that -- LLMs don't get drunk unless you ask them to pretend to. #AI#compsci
On LLMs. The fundamental problem with these clever stochastic parrots is that the bulk of their training data is the low quality parts of the Internet that causes them to have problems with hallucination when confronted with the more obscure/unique aspects of human knowledge. #AI#compsci
Musk thinks coding and compilers will completely disappear by the end of 2026 and AI will just create optimised binaries directly - no need for the intermediate step (coding). He has definitely fallen out of his tree. #AI#compsci
Conclusion: Claude AI is hopeless when dealing with new and novel (unique) human generated code that doesn't resemble anything in its training data. #AI#compsci
I am now of the opinion that the only way vibe coding can work is if the architecture is spelt out in sufficiently unambiguous detail and TDD is used *and* the tests are reviewed by a human. This does necessitate however that the prompt jockey can actually understand code. #AI#compsci
