alt Hacker News It could also end up freeing us from every commercial dependency we have. Write your own OS, your own mail app, design your own machinery to farm with.
edit: also the solution here isn't that every one writes their own software (based on open source code available on the internet no doubt) we just use that open source software, and people learn to code and improve it themselves instead of off-loading it to a machine

Batshit crazy?
3 years ago LLMs couldn’t solve 7x8.
Now they’re building complex applications in one shot, solving previously unsolved math and science problems.
Heck, one company built a (prototype but functional) web browser
And you say it’s crazy that in the future it’ll be able to build a mail app or OS?
This is one of those things where people who don't know how to use tools think they're bad, like people who would write whole sentences into search engines in the 90s.
LLMs are bad at counting the number of rows in a spreadsheet. LLMs are great at "write a Python script that counts the number of rows in this spreadsheet".
