It’s fascinating to think about what true GUI for LLM could be like.

It immediately makes me think a LLM that can generate a customized GUI for the topic at hand where you can interact with in a non-linear way.

Fun demo of an early idea was posted by Oriol just yesterday :)

Maybe we can collect all of this salt and operate a Thorium reactor with it, this in turn can then power AI.

We'll need to boil a few more lakes before we get to that stage I'm afraid, who needs water when you can have your AI hallucinate some for you after all?

Who needs water when all these hot takes come from sources so dense, they're about to collapse into black holes.

Is me not wanting the UI of my OS to shift with every mouse click a hot take? If me wanting to have the consistent "When I click here, X happens" behavior instead of the "I click here and I'm Feeling Lucky happens" behavior is equal to me being dense, so be it I guess.

No. But you interpreting and evaluating the demo in question as suggesting the things you described - frankly, yes. It takes a deep gravity well to miss a point this clear from this close.

It's a tech demo. It shows you it's possible to do these things live, in real time (and to back Karpathy's point about tech spread patterns, it's accessible to you and me right now). It's not saying it's a good idea - but there are obvious seeds of good ideas there. For one, it shows you a vision of an OS or software you can trivially extend yourself on the fly. "I wish it did X", bam, it does. And no one says it has to be non-deterministic each time you press some button. It can just fill what's missing and make additions permanent, fully deterministic after creation.

"Please don't fulminate."

"Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."
