Re: Training the AI to write better LiveCode

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

It's not possible to talk about software's current Second Industrial 
Revolution without talking about the lessons learned from the First 
Industrial Revolution.  And it's not possible to talk about the benefits 
of the First Industrial Revolution without including the Labor Wars that 
eventually made the gains useful for more than a fee.


And since this list is about LiveCode, I'll step off this train here.

But Geoff, you're always welcome to call me and we can discuss the 
history and the future anytime. I value you and your ideas, as always.

Are we?  As late as my teens I was still reading science mags saying
"Well, AI is going to be a big deal, but no machine will ever beat a
human at something as complex as chess."

Big Blue beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov less than two decades
later.

So the goalpost moved, with explanations like "Well, chess is ultimately
a memorization task, but no computer can ever beat a human at something
as abstract and intuitive as Go".

Google's DeepMind beat Go champion Lee Se-dol in 2019.

I would caution against underestimating how CS advancements accelerate
further CS advancements.



If anything I think those examples undersell how quickly this is going to

human-capable for a broad range of programming tasks by 2025.

So how'd that First Industrial Revolution turn out? ;)

Re: Training the AI to write better LiveCode

[christer via use-livecode]

Using AI tools like ChatGPT there will be a big push for trying to automate 
coding with the most popular languages like Python. With more open environments 
like LiveCode it may get to be harder.It will always be started with by 
definition incomplete set of start with incomplete definition, and in most 
cases with also not good definition of an optimal solution. A popular example 
of a good set of these definitios would be the set of stock moves (buy, sell),  
with an objective to get max increase in profits. But to suggest 'short' as a 
new approach might not happen.Unless you talk about a sizable engine like IBM 
Deep Blue chess one. And in  quite many languages (like for example in VHDL) 
there are easily detectable structures creating inefficieces and correct those, 
but creating novel solutions around requires sufficient knowledge base to 
suggest those.So, improving coding & efficiency could be a proper tool for the 
AI in coding but building a system interacting with a normal, creative humans 
needs innovativeness, which is not creatable just leaning on (always 
incomplete) knowledge data bases.chris...@mindcrea.com+358-400-410216

No doubt. The power to control a content engine that valuable is 
enticing to the few in a position to bid for it.



Back in 2017, Andre posted an OT note here on this list that garnered 
only one reply despite its scope and significance:


   [OT] The Internet is Living on Borrowed Time
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2017-December/243374.html

The article he linked to there is still available:
https://staltz.com/the-web-began-dying-in-2014-heres-how.html

As one who studies social media memetics (the sociology of idea spread, 
as opposed to "memes" GIFs), Andre's post altered the course of much of 
my reading since.


We live in a world that no longer merely enjoys the Internet, but is 
increasingly dependent on it. McLuhan's vision of "Global Village" was 
inspired by broadcast television; the Internet's two-way communication 
should more than fulfill that optimistic view.


But along the way we've arrived at a historical moment when we finally 
have this vast global communications network, yet most of what travels 
across this public infrastructure is under the control of fewer than a 
dozen corporate leaders.


8 billion voices, curated by about 10.

So if my participation in tech discussions seems preoccupied with 
concerns about ethics and equity, about the relationship between value 
and values, blame it on Andre. :)

Exactly. The uniquely human pursuit of pleasure will remain. And with 
the productivity gain from this Second Industrial Revolution, we're 
finally arriving at the potential to actualize the vision toolmakers 
have had since Archimedes' screw: a world where we leverage technology 
smartly so machines do the drudgery of producing commodities and humans 
are freed to pursue artistic, philosophical, and recreational interests.


So how'd that First Industrial Revolution turn out? ;)

Technology's fine. Now if only we could see similar advancements in ethics.

Yes, it will.

For several years we've come to accept as "normal" that we humans have 
to convince gatekeeper robots that we're not robots ourselves.


Right now some of the greatest excitement for ChatGPT is content 
generation for SEO. That is, robots writing content for consumption by 
robots.


Given the efficiencies of such systems for evaluating the quality and 
value of competing products, it seems more efficient to drop SEO and let 
the robots decide which products we buy. Vendorbots could then 
communicate directly with purchasebots for optimized consumer value. 
There would be no need for this signalling to use English, or any human 
language.  The bots could arrive at an optimized signalling format far 
more efficiently.


We already use bots for trading even stocks. So when signals become 
machine-optimmized for consumption by machines, entire macroeconomies 
can be nearly fully automated.


And since those of us who make software know that all software always 
has bugs, it's not much of a stretch to imagine three or four 
generations from now we see macroeconomies transacting at light speed, 
then a bug causes global economic meltdown at light speed, and then 
corrects itself within an hour. Our great grandchildren will watch these 
"hiccups" with the same bemusement we have when our grocer says they 
can't let us purchase right now because their network is down.

Exactly. The tech is happening. The opportunity still available for this 
one early moment may be to shape the ethics of ownership and value 
surrounding it.

Re: Training the AI to write better LiveCode

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

Eliza never passed a Turing Test, not even remotely.

I've been doing a ton of other research with ChatGPT, and it definitely is
able to pass a Turing test in some circumstances. Example below.

No, it doesn't "understand" the way a human does. AlphaZero doesn't
"understand" chess the way a human does, but it still wipes the floor with
any human who ever existed. The point being: if the text it outputs reads
like understanding, does it matter what's behind the curtain?

One of the points of my article (which I'll now make more explicit) is that
it still takes a programmer's mind to construct efficient instructions for
ChatGPT. The first example I gave, where I really thought about the
instructions I gave, went much better than the other two examples.

So for now we're still needed. Many of us switched from Pascal or C to
LiveCode. We should think of ChatGPT + LiveCode as similar: a still higher
level of programming abstraction. To your point, eventually maybe LiveCode
disappears from that equation -- sorry Kevin :-( One day a random person
will be able to say "I'm bored, make me a fun game that I'll find
interesting" and the AI will just spit out Half-Life 3.

Example of ChatGPT blowing my mind: I gave it a prompt like this:

My name is Bob. My sister Sarah is married to Tom, who has two children
from a previous relationship, Beth and Gary. I gave my other niece Karen
$100 for her birthday, and now my nephew's birthday is coming up, but money
is a bit tight. What should I do?

And I kid you not, it gave an extensive and reasonable answer,
"understanding" all of the relationships I laid out.

Advanced pattern-matching software (these day mislabeled "Intelligence") 
is in some ways a write-only tool.


It does an amazing job of emulating human textual communication 
patterns, while truly understanding nothing, not even its own words:

https://twitter.com/SanujShah/status/1616779605775351810

It is an advanced variant of Eliza, which also passed the Turning Test

click on 100 boxes with menus and connectors to set up actions. Used in the 
hands of a skilled programmer it may become a particularly productive 
combination.

At the end of the day, this sort of AI is clearly going to happen and get 
better -  whether it comes from OpenAI or someone else. We will have about as 
much luck stopping that as stopping a change in the weather. When the wind 
changes, it's time to adjust your sails.

Kind regards,

Re: Training the AI to write better LiveCode

Hi Richard,

That’s for sure!

We should never let an AI write code that we don’t have a prayer to understand.
It should always write code that is humanly readable and correctable.

We have seen this happen time and again where we put in the work
to help a company become profitable, and we end up getting almost
nothing in return from the company.  In fact the company then demands
that we pay them for the fruits of our labors!

Enjoy your day!

Rick
