Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I think that we'll solve that problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

We'll solve it, yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But you look at that and you say, okay, well...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

reducing the rote thing, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It turns out compilers are very particular and they really want things, they really want the indentation to be right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

They really want the colon to be there on your else or else it'll complain, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, compilers can do better at this, but LLMs can totally help solve that problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so I'm very happy about the new predictive coding and copilot type features and things like this, because I think it'll all just make us more productive.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah, absolutely.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, I think that would be interesting.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Is that wise?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, I mean, it would be very expensive.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So compilers run fast and they're very efficient, and LLMs are currently very expensive.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

There's on-device LLMs and there's other things going on, and so maybe there's an answer there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I think that one of the things that I haven't seen enough of is that

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So LLMs to me are amazing when you tap into the creative potential of the hallucinations, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so if you're doing creative brainstorming or creative writing or things like that, the hallucinations work in your favor.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

If you're writing code that has to be correct because you're going to ship it in production, then maybe that's not actually a feature.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so I think that there has been research and there has been work on building

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

algebraic reasoning systems and kind of like figuring out more things that feel like proofs.
