How Do You Speak Pidgin To A Probability Distribution?

a day ago
  • Frameworks are like a master carpenter's jigs: they remember which specific shape matters, unlike AI that can generate any shape but lacks context.
  • Pidgin languages emerge as simplified bridges between speakers of different languages for trade, and when children grow up speaking them, they become full creole languages.
  • Similarly, frameworks like Rails and React are 'creoles' that AI models understand natively, enabling efficient communication.
  • Even when AI can write any code, frameworks remain essential for shared vocabulary among humans, AIs, and future developers.
  • Internal or obscure frameworks are like pidgins—AI hasn't seen them, so we must teach them each time, often with limited success.
  • The author's VSM framework explores building frameworks that can explain themselves, using meta-tools and CLI generators to facilitate pidgin conversations with AI.
  • Senior developers get the most from AI coding assistants because they share a creole language with the AI, while beginners get pidgin and poorer results.
  • Frameworks may evolve into self-aware participants that teach their own idioms, becoming active translators rather than static code.
  • All frameworks start as pidgins; the ones that become widespread become creoles that shape how AI thinks and dreams.
