Every time I leave my phone in the other room to “finally get some work done”, please enter this goddamn number we sent to your SMS, and I close my laptop.

Maybe you haven’t seen enough coworkers send you pages and pages of slop.

I find the questions are not clearly asked and somehow half baked as caveats toward the middle end of what it’s vomiting. “One thing I deliberately didn’t touch” — about half the time this is something completely irrelevant or something tha

Everything you’re saying is how I feel as a native English speaker and it drives me absolutely nuts. People in airports are obsessed with telling you what you can’t do. The one thing that kind of works for me is, “Well, what should I do?” w

This is the problem with commercial AI and the way our minds work; it writes garbage and we’re trained to think we’re stupid because we can’t understand it.

I've definitely wowed people with what I've built, and some of those people are investors... but actual revenue, no.

Yeah I agree, but the amount of resources I’ve used to vibe code is certainly way beyond what I’ve paid for it.

I suspect the hype will play itself out once the entire system of LLM-induced self gratification can’t sustain itself economically.

But also what is the evidence that something only AI can understand even “matters” or makes sense? I’m increasingly convinced commercial AI is exploiting our logical blind spot to be spoken to authoritatively.

Weird how something was done about that though

You’re missing the point. It seems like you’re saying how things “generally” are, but not how they legally should play out. For instance, among my lawyer friends, they insist that drug-sniffing dogs should require a warrant as well, and a f

Kids shouldn’t be aiming for well-rounded at all; that’s a classic misread of what selections committees are looking for. Our PhD selections chair was explicit about wanting a well-rounded class full of students with great depth. Frankly re

It seems we are unfamiliar with sarcasm.

Anything the CEO or CTO say to me over Slack, when I ask what the heck they’re talking about, it takes a while for an answer. Then they usually respond that they changed their mind. They can’t even have a semblance of a discussion anymore w

I suppose the argument is in reverse. They are so ubiquitous, they don’t really have to be good anymore to capture the market.

You wouldn’t steal a Claude!

Yeah but look how much there is! Aren’t you impressed?

Hard to say what caused what, but the internet seems to mistake verbosity for authority, and so does AI.

“Find” in the sense of “find me the man and I’ll find you the crime”.

Yep. I was trying to put together some literature from authors who were imprisoned in the Bastille, and had a similar experience, which was absolutely infuriating.

I’m pretty sure they mean perceptible complexity at the level of the human eye. Of course, everything has quarks and leptons in infinitely complex patterning.

I wonder if clues like this will be what are written in history books as the beginning of the bubble bursting.

Language is just a shortcut to logic. LLMs don’t seem to have the capacity to logic, they just pattern match. LLMs seem conscious because they are pattern matching against all of human written cognition.

Yeah dealing with this now, where my CTO is shipping features that are producing plausible results but just wrong. So, now I gotta spend all day explaining the math behind certain features to her, and she copies and pastes it to Claude.

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Looks like it’s time to cut my TCL-Roku TV off from the internet forever now.

Disclaimer: I’m not fluent in Arabic by any means, but the stretched out to both margins style looks very Quranic to me. I don’t think it looks appropriate for say, a message about my DoorDasher.

Yep. This is more about the Trump administration’s vehement anti-immigrant stance than anything.
