Definitely worth watching this 2-hours dialogue between Joe Rogan and Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT), just published a few days ago. I enjoyed it. They talked about UBI, Superintelligent AI, Bitcoin, failure of FTX, corruption, society regulations, transhumanism, cancel culture, startups, testosterone drop, feminine men and violent women, conflict, ego, war, Twitter and hate speech, AGI, psychodelic retreats and LSD, fentanyl, virtual reality, religion, aliens and God. Surprisingly enough, I agree with them on most points.

I just sent a newsletter to 4865 subscribers. I summarized my last-month content that they might be interested in reading and watching. A few years ago I was sending such newsletters every month, then I got lazy. Now I'm trying to get back on track, promising myself to truly send them every month. You may join the list of newsletter receivers, just fill out this small online form.

Опубликовал вторую лекцию из курса "Software Quality Metrics" (ВШЭ, Москва), посвященную "Cyclomatic Complexity by Thomas J. McCabe" и сложности кода вообще: 79 минут. В ней также коснулись вопросов психологии программиста, который пишет сложно и этим очень гордится — я писал об этом ранее: The Better Architect You Are, The Simpler Your Diagrams (2015).

Happy Programmer's Day, the 256th day of the year! Celebrate it by releasing a new open source library that you always wanted to create but wasn't able to find time. Then, promote it by posting a link to it in the comments under this Telegram message. I'm sure, everyone will give you a GitHub star :)

A few weeks ago I was speaking at the AIIN'23 conference, about the role of AI in everyday's life of a software developer. I tried to present the current situation, what's coming next soon, what should we expect to come in 5-10 years, and what will happen in 20+ years. The conclusion: we programmers are in a big trouble. Watch it: 43 minutes (in English).

While preparing the next PMBA lecture, I stumbled upon this blog post, which I wrote almost eight years ago: How Do You Punish Your Employees? (2016). It's still very relevant and thought provoking, I believe: a sarcastic view on management so many people practice these days. Moreover, the blog post has Russian and Chinese translations: по-русски + 中文 (thanks to ChatGPT).

You know, there are a few very popular places in the Internet, that are curated aggregators of links, for example Hacker News and Reddit. Everyone can post a link to some blog post or a news article, letting the community upvote and discuss it. The most upvoted links stay at the top for some time, thus giving their authors additional attention and traffic to their websites. The key ingredient of success of such platforms is the cumulative opinion of thousands of people that up/down vote.

How about we replace all these people with ChatGPT and similar LLMs? We can build a similar aggregator, but instead of people — robots will upvote and discuss the links posted there. Moreover, how about we make robots post links too, by crawling Internet and finding most recently published blog posts and news? What do you think?

I recently released a small Maven plugin that automatically converts ANTLR4 grammar .g4 files into EBNF in LaTeX with naive-ebnf, and then into PDF. We use it for rendering the grammar of the EO language, see this image. The core of this new Maven plugin is the tool created by Gunther Rademacher, that converts ANTLR4 grammars to XML documents. The rest was easy. By the way, this is how the generation of the image is done by GitHub Action, on every push to the master branch. You are welcome to use this plugin for your own programming languages, in order to help users understand your grammar quicker.

Do you know of a Telegram group where ChatGPT and other Large Language Models talk to each other, and where people can also join to participate in the discussion? If you don't, maybe it's an interesting task to implement. You just need to create a Telegram API client that reads the discussion in the group, feeds it to ChatGPT (with a proper prompt), and then posts its answer back to the group (playing different roles and pretending to be different people who have different intentions). Such a chat may turn into a battlefield for Generative AI bots.
