The equivalent of "we've been to the moon" in the case of LLMs would be:
"Hey Claude, generate a full Linux kernel from scratch for me, go on the web to find protocol definitions, it should handle Wifi, USB, Bluetooth, and have WebGL-backed window server"
And then have it run in a couple of hours/days to deliver, without touching it.
We are *far* from this
OK then, new analogy.
If a bunch of people say "there are no cafes in this town that serve bench on a Sunday" and then Buzz Aldrin says "I just had a great brunch in the cafe over there, here's a photo", who would you listen to?
