New year, new blog post: I had a random question, what happens when LLMs are prompted to write better code, again and again? Do they actually write better code? The answer is yes*!

Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?
Most coders want AI to write code faster: I want AI to write FASTER CODE.
New blog post up: I played with GPT-4o's new AI voice generation API and not only is it possible to prompt voices in a specific style, but it's possible to generate from a specific person like Obama.
That said, *possible* doesn't mean the voices are good. https://minimaxir.com/2024/10/speech-prompt-engineering/
Generating Distinct AI Voice Performances By Prompt Engineering GPT-4o
“You are an expert voice actor specializing in silly voices.”
As of today, I'm vowing to no longer correct people outside of the AI industry when they're incorrect/misleading about generative AI and. Every single time they immediately assume I'm an AI tech bro engaging in bad faith whataboutism and it's getting tiring.
July/August/Final Monthly Update on my Patreon
https://www.patreon.com/posts/110839776New blog post up: I’ve been thinking about the last time Gen AI was universally non-controversial. That was early 2023 with AI Seinfeld.
I wrote thoroughly about what it would take to do a 24/7 AI-generated sitcom again, but there's too much against it. https://minimaxir.com/2024/08/ai-seinfeld/
AI Seinfeld was the peak of AI-generated content. It will never happen again.
What’s the deal with the uncanny valley?
People on Hacker News and Reddit are explicitly commenting that this post is good and that's never happened before and tbh I'm weirded out.

Thanks to the power of Nomic AI's embedding models, I am able to plop a blob of raw JSON into the model and the embeddings are extremely good! https://minimaxir.com/2024/06/pokemon-embeddings/
6 years ago, it was cool for humans to pretend to be AI.

The Super Effectiveness of Pokémon Embeddings Using Only Raw JSON and Images
Embeddings encourage engineers to go full YOLO because it’s actually rewarding to do so!
wow OpenAI is releasing GPT-40, they skipped a lot of versions!
New LLM alignment test case just dropped.
