Pretty amazing how quick we've gotten here.
Exactly, about two years ago or so, ChatGPT used to make silly mistakes even in (relatively) simple examples. What it can do today is incredible! In a near future, many applied mathematicians (including myself) will be jobless (at least not doing applied math). I’m convinced about that!
I'm not really sure what any of us will be doing tbh.
I'm doing some fun vibe-coding right now, which mostly consists of me meta-prompting by asking one AI how to properly state what I want to do, then feeding the much much improved prompt to the other AI. I'm conducting the symphony I suppose by I'm not really sure how much I'm really contributing tbh...

You're providing direction and guidance. We're all CTOs now lol.
Would you see a way to use your vibed code in a live system? What would it take to get it there?

Semi live now although haven't publicly shared the URL anywhere (this is the first ever). It's an automated AI driven Technical Analysis tool for degenerate stock market gamblers like me to figure out "what's on sale". Basically helps you buy the dip when you have dry powder (sacrilegious for Bitcoiners, I know! 😂)
Last night I was working on implementing concurrent background jobs to perform the LLM calls to execute the Technical Analysis across a large batch of stock tickers. Not only did it code it up for me (not one-shot but close) but it threw up a beautiful dynamic html UI that let me track the job queue in real-time! I thought it would just give me some dirty println text logs to peruse...
Gave me mixed emotions of sadness and wonder.

Looks pretty cool. And SN "launch" is wild! I'm not much into TA or stock markets so I can't really comment on the product itself. I've felt that since TA influences market behavior and TA at the same time references market sentiment then, if a specific analysis gains traction it becomes self-fulfilling - for speculation, not long-term investment of course.
About the process: what this looks like is that you're evolving a tool to automate something you'd do manually (i.e. doing the TA) and then building that out into a suite.

The problem with skipping the println stage is of course that you now need to test not only the batch process itself, but also the fancy UI, and you're testing both at once. Thus, because it didn't give you the simple interface, you now have more work at once. This is fine if you didn't plan on doing rigorous testing of course.

Looks like Erdos Problem #481 just bit the dust :/
