LLM increase the range of things bikesheddable, so some folks will try to have a LLM design a nuclear reactor and manage the coffee budget in addition to the traditional bikeshed design complications. Whether this is an improvement or more engines of what passes for civilization catching on fire, well…
- dpark 2mo agoI don’t understand how LLMs make more stuff “bike sheddable”. What LLMs do is allow people to contribute low value garbage to all areas, but we have a word for that and it’s not “bike shedding”. It’s “slop”.
- cyanydeez 2mo agobike shedding is slop; you're arguing with some anchored semantics where culture, terms, etc are fluid. Can only assume english might not be your first language.
- dpark 2mo agoI hope this weird redefinition of bike shedding doesn’t take off. It’s a useful and meaningful term and repurposing it to mean AI slop is negative value. Thankfully until this thread I’d never seen anyone use the term this way. > Can only assume english might not be your first language. This not-subtle insult does not add anything here.
- cyanydeez 2mo agoit's not an insult. Declaring this both a fixed context and definition for any given piece of language is typically related to language learners. An insult would suggest it's also related to autism.
- dpark 2mo ago“You disagree with me about the meaning of this word so clearly you have a poor grasp of the language” is absolutely an insult.
- tolciho 2mo agoAnd that slop increases the range of things bikesheddable, like having free kerosene and matches available at an Arson Anonymous meeting.
