Watching GP and parent discuss oracles.. and missing an actual oracle is so HN.. we use imperfect LLM oracles as sounding boards while we theorize about perfect ones.

Oh, the age we live in - of this new math.

LLMs are math that isn't exact, except when it is more exact, and not always when you need it to be. LLM math can't be too accurate or warm or the math doesn't work as well. Like an O(1) operation that randomly decides to run in O(n!).

Humans, technically are just higher maintenance Turing Machines who incrementally write less buggy code.

LLMs get trained on our obi wan buggy odysseys to help them spit out mindbending new ways of regex-ing something and leap to solutions, and chase shiny new things, however it originated.

This shows us we must not only communicate with LLM oracles and perfect Oracles using natural language programming, but to also use the force, just maybe don't trust it to parse HTML. Maybe it knows why it's so hard with to not be able to "ace" any SWE interview to land a high paying job and keep it for more than 12 months.
