  He used AI to write the anti-AI tool

    To be fair, humans are excellent at building anti-human tools

      Now if there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that nothing is more powerful than a young boy’s wish. Except an Apache helicopter. An Apache helicopter has machine guns AND missiles. It is an unbelievably impressive complement of weaponry, an absolute death machine.

    Heads up he talks about this specifically at 26:30 for those who didn’t take the time to watch the video.

    But wasn’t the issue with the AI stuff that it was false info, whereas the tool sounds like it worked as intended?

        It just seems like the tool he is using is working though…

      I think the point is it would have been truly ironic if the AI itself was the authoritative fact checker instead of merely being a tool that built another tool.

      If Claude was the fact checking tool instead of the ISBN validator, that’s the real irony.

      If in a messed up future, only an AI could catch a fellow AI, what’s stopping the AI collective from returning false negatives? Who watches the watchers?

    Which is kinda my favorite thing to do as of late, and what I prefer AI be used for.

    I’m not taking about building a suite of black box tools. But tiny scripts to scrape, shape, and generate reports. Things I used to pull in a dozen node libraries to do and manually configure and patch up.

    You know, busy work.
