Batshit crazy?

3 years ago LLMs couldn’t solve 7x8.

Now they’re building complex applications in one shot, solving previously unsolved math and science problems.

Heck, one company built a (prototype but functional) web browser

And you say it’s crazy that in the future it’ll be able to build a mail app or OS?

No, they built something which claimed to be a web browser but which didn't even compile. Every time someone says "look an LLM did this impressive sounding thing" it has turned out to be some kind of fraud. So yeah, the idea that these slop machines could build an OS is insane.
