This article is full of LLMisms, which is to be expected but maybe it wouldn't be 5000 words and wouldn't need this disclaimer if they wrote it themselves
- mixologic 11d agoThe only llmism I sensed is the use of "load bearing". Im usually queasy after reading llm slop, and stop before the end. This didn't have that effect. Maybe the llms are getting better, but either way, this article reads like a real hunan write the whole thing.
- Bolwin 11d agoThis article feels like it was written by a human who has just read to much llm writing
- logicallee 11d agoHumans don't write things like: "Now, the popular way to tell this story is "the system is breaking," and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters."
- aidenn0 11d agoThis statement just makes me think of a line from The Diamond Age in which two kids in a post-nanotech future first see a scrap of hand-woven cloth and after thinking decide that it must have been made by nanomachines because no human could make something so regular.
- magarnicle 11d agoIt felt like unedited, unstyled Claude output. e.g. "No, and the difference is the important bit."
- singpolyma3 11d agoBefore LLMs no load was ever borne
- elonfboy 11d agoStop whining about it, the constant whining is worse than the LLM prose
- rnd0 11d agoIt's really not, actually. Often I read the comments before the article and getting a head's up that the article is slop is invaluable. It's not only not 'worse than the LLM prose', it's a community service!
- belowavgiq 11d agoI don't know about you, but I personally really appreciate when people warn me in advance that something is going to be a waste of time. "and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters" Yeah right. lol
- tom_ 11d agoI for one always appreciate it. The comments help me judge whether I'm right or wrong in my own opinion.
- lyjackal 11d agoWhile I’m usually one to also get annoyed at uncurated slop, this doesn’t strike me in any way as LLM text, and likely something the author meant in earnest. I reads lot of LLM text. What part about it appeared generated to you? From my perspective the piece was well structured, paced and thought through (and yes, a bit long)
- magarnicle 11d agoThe whole paragraph titled "Isn't this just Tidelift again?" is exactly how Claude describes something it is excited about.
- lyjackal 11d agoI’d recommend looking through the 20+ years of Laurie’s writing in the archives. The LLMs may very well be mimicking him. I wouldn’t put LLM assisted writing past him, but I feel like this is being judged on topical similarity, and is not the standard kind of egregious incoherent slop that has little substance or lacks coherence. See for example: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/introducing-cuda-rust-two-tracks-for-writing-gpu-kernels/ https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/introducing-cuda-rust-two-...
- bdd8f1df777b 11d agoHow is this a LLM output? A LLM can easily write out those 5000 words.
- DonsDiscountGas 11d ago> Now, the popular way to tell this story is "the system is breaking," and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters. The system isn't breaking. It's stable, at a level of human cost we've collectively decided to put up with. Reads like an LLM to me. "Load bearing" also used a few paragraphs down.
