I remember cynically joking last year that all the "advanced" AIs like Claude were just the same kind of black-box LLMs but with a bunch of regexes glued onto them

now that the source has leaked: HAHAHA

@foone Ha! This reminds me: At work today, I needed to analyze data in an Excel file.

I asked our team’s Excel guru. He took a look, told me “the data is crap, go ask an LLM rather than build a pivot table.”

I did. The LLM spat out a Python script to analyze the data.

So I guess it worked - just not the way I thought it would.

@slothrop @foone you needed a python beginner ? (or a tuto and one hour to figure it out)

..."excel guru" (wow, that's like being expert at a fisher price toy. It's very impressive in some way.)
