Yegge’s writing has declined proportionately to his AI usage.
- BeetleB 1mo agoI used to read his stuff ~20 years ago. He has cool things to say, but his writing always sucked. I often write lengthy pieces. Then I look at it and say "Oh no, I don't want to become Steve Yegge!"
- AloysB 1mo agoI genuinely wonder if he has completely lost touch with reality. He seems to slowly become the Terry A. Davis of LLMs.
- owebmaster 1mo agoIt looks like AI psychosis
- ramses0 1mo agoAgree/disagree! He's genuinely writing words for humans (load bearing! honestly!), and he's definitely on the forefront of _something_, whether you agree with his findings or not. I'm particularly struck by the Superman metaphor: "Even if you put a giant shield around your house, Superman could destroy it with his super-strength and laser eyes... but he won't dare cross the white picket fence you've put up because it goes against his core beliefs!" Maybe think of "The Truman Show" ... 90% of the time you should be relying on guardrails and making the easier path obvious. ALSO have the hardened sandbox-proof escape container, but against a determined adversary, it's all 1's and 0's at the end and there's probably a way for them to get out?
