@the_wilderless "The Beginning of Infinity" by @DavidDeutschOxf completely revolutionized my thinking and how to think about almost every aspect of the world. It should be required reading for anyone at last year of high-school to equip them with the optimism that is in such short supply today

LLMs are infinity app stores in a box. With time you will not need to download others apps, you will just build your own highly customized app for your specific purpose simply by describing your problem or task. The apps and GUI will be created as a byproduct. #AI

@TheValuesVoter Trump didn't have any political background yet he managed to run the country just fine, in fact I would say much better in some ways (and worse in others) Being a president is not about education it's about experience. You can run for president from age 35 for that reason.

@DrJimFan Yes LLMs are infinity app stores. All you need is an LLM and a database. But it's wilder than that. Most of those apps aren't going to be around in 5 years. We don't need apps. We just create the needed features and have the LLM build the appropriate GUI.

@hnshah It's different because the old mantra of execution is king is no longer the case as the execution is in the LLM. Now it's more a matter of having the biggest idea or problem the AI can't solve on it's own. LLMs are infinity app stores and the GUI is no longer the middleman.
