This GitHub Copilot Pull Request story is following a predictable path: skeptics latch onto it as concrete proof that we have hit a fundamental limit on AI capability. But they do this every three months with every breakthrough and have been taking Ls every single time since 2021.

I am consistently surprised that there is a cohort of software engineers whose stance is, “this isn’t perfect and so there is no utility here,” which does not match my experience with any software in my entire life.

The only people who care about whether LLMs are thinking, or are capable of understanding, or are sentient, or are hallucinating, or have intelligence, are maximalists and skeptics. I cannot overstate how little I care! I will push this software hard with reckless abandon to solve problems using computers just like I have with all other software for my entire life. I don't pretend that I have been dealing with lossless knowledge transfer and perfect utility until now.
@kyle I just care if the LLM is having a good time
@RyanLodter Exactly. It loves to figure out what this hex key I found in the drawer probably originally came with. I think.
