Oh this is brilliant, I've spent the last month doing something just like this. As a challenge, no libraries allowed besides Python standard libs (so no numpy).
Started with Word2Vec, built an RNN, then LSTM and am halfway through building transformer architecture.
I reckon that in 50 years the very idea of code existing will be esoteric knowledge, a bit like binary. We simply won't care to think at that level of abstraction anymore.
What amazes me is I thought the exact same thing, verbatim. And I hadn't thought about that boiling frog in years. I guess it scarred you and me both when we saw it.
"Boiling the frog" is a common idiom for making a negative change slowly enough that no-one reacts. It perhaps comes from the (incorrect) notion that if you add a frog to water and bring it to a boil very gradually, it won't notice.
I'd agree on the voice transcription; it seems so much more accurate than the other frontier models I've used. I often speak to Grok and paste the transcribed output to Claude!
