alt Hacker NewsHow many "prompts" from our parents, teachers, bosses, etc. it took for all of us to come here and discuss this? Or for that human to think of that prompt for that LLM?
These are clearly rhetorical questions, but think of the metaphysical implication of your contestation. Ex nihilo nihil fit.
What if that initial prompt never asked for this hardware to be developed, and it was just one piece of the puzzle to answer to that prompt? That it took a chain of thousands of agents to prompt each others to come up with that?
