+- What Shane is saying right now reminds me a lot of the SICP opening words, about how programming, and computing ideas in general are all about dreams and magic. Creating an idealized solution from abstractions and building blocks.
+- This also reminds me of the concept of Humane Tech. Technology, and frameworks that are inherently conducive to human curiosity, intelligent, and all the best traits. <https://github.com/humanetech-community/awesome-humane-tech>
+- I think this is like semantic auto-complete on steroids, like tab completion of whatever your typing, or translation of something you've written into code for instance.
+- If you're worried about these kind of advances in AI, just remind yourself of how easily technology breaks
+- oh my god, executing code derived directly from GPT-3?! that's *lunatic* curl | bash, eat your heart out
+- idefun definitely helped by a docstring
+ - yeah that's a use-case, gen from docstring
+- Man, I really think it would be awesome to have shane be able to explain some of these ideas more in depth as they are obviously very deep topics. I'd love to help contribute next year to possibly creating a way to have multiple talks going on at once so people have more time to speak. I believe it was sachac who mentioned it yesterday.
+- This vaguely reminds me of that one Python package that generates a CLI parser from the help string except that that python package actually made sense
+- re slide 27, would it mean that 2 such "idefined" function would be the "same", meaning do the same thing the same way, given that they are defined without a "body"?
+- the full abstraction would look something like an interactive proof program where you could repeatedly refine the results until it matched what the user wanted
+- it started incomprehensible and then moved straight to impossible magic.
+- wow...mind blown even though that went by a bit too quick.
+- Hmm, I do think we could do test-driven imaginary programming tho i.e. you only define the ERT testcases and then do the rest with idefun
+- So `(imacro with-clifford-algebra (p q r))` would just "work"... this does feel too magical
+- I am really happy that someone is trying Deep Learning stuff *with* emacs and not just for writing Python code :D
+- well I've had pretty good success with GPT-3, I think this also supports GPT-j which is I think free/libre.
+- most users of GPT-3 do it via calls to a web api
+- is it still invite only?
+ - no, it's been opened recently
