And why is Tidal’s library so much smaller than Spotify’s? And why would I use Cash App if they’re going to try to make it “an interface for AI”?

How can you be less innovative than Block? Their products are 100% ripoffs of better products

Every single post here these days. “Startup founder of Communality.ai says ai good for people” and then the comments are AI bros declaring that all work can end, the good times are here at last

It went down 48%, I checked with my eyes instead of going through a hallucination layer. Edit: sorry- thought this was about the stock price, not about picking up stragglers in cloud computing. I’m gonna contradict Gemini and say that’s bul

All of those are examples where technology replaced the core skill completely. In the age of digital photography and printers I can run a Photo Booth without worrying about the specific techniques of photographic lab technicians. LLMs aren’

There’s actually a humongous range of ecological impact between tent and data center.

Re-reading your comment, I think we’re both generally anti-corporate-fuckery. I view the current batch of copyright pearl clutching to be an argument about if VCs are allowed to steal books to make their chatbots worth talking to, and the W

If you want people to read and learn from each other, you should incentivize people to make content worth reading and learning from. Making LLM training a viable loophole for copyright law means there won’t be incentives to produce such wor

I never understand why anyone wants authors to not be able to enforce copyright and licensing laws for AI training. Unless you are Anthropic or OAI it seems like a wild stance to have. It’s good when people are rewarded for works that other

And it can NEVER know when you’re wrong!

This thread is entirely people bemoaning how this happens to other people and how the commenter has a work around so it never happens to them. Unless your workaround is “don’t use LLMs you have to pay for,” it’s happening to you.

It’s incredible to come online every day and read breathless articles about how the future is here on the same 5 apps, using the same crappy sources, with the same horrible ad content. Say what you want about the dotcom bubble at least webs

In my experience what you’ve described as the ideal setting for Eng work does lead to a very high quality product. The problem then is understanding if the market you’re in values high quality over speed or familiarity. All markets claim to

Abstractions truncate the decision space of the layer above them by making understandable trade offs. LLMs don’t abstract anything, your code is still in python or php or Go. It just feels like they abstract if you don’t understand the outp

If you’re doing any heavy asynchronous work you should look into it. It’s truly game changing.

Ah yes, it’s not an earnest critique that the tech is destabilizing and isolating. It’s a conspiracy! Thank you. For a moment there I thought I’d have to examine my own beliefs!
