I am opposed to them. I'm tired of being pushed by people who don't understand the profession to use crappy tools to be unrealistically productive. I hate what their presence has done to the industry and to the expectations placed

So when Claude lies to you what do you do? Your workflow is crazy. Just write the fucking code.

Insane take. 2-4x productive until you have to refactor or fix anything and realize you just created a 10,000 line steaming pile.

This is a weird concept to people in stem fields, but in law intent matters a lot. It's the difference between manslaughter and murder.

There's definitely a conversation we can have about the cost and accessibility of higher education in this country. I don't think that conversation should include an administration that is unilaterally and arbitrarily canceling in

They hate you because you're a useful idiot, not because of your skin color, for the record.

Yes we all know what good defenders of truth and knowledge the Trump administration is. Surely the same people who seem to have made a habit of causing constitutional crises and have directly challenged the 1st, 5th and 14th amendment have

The answer is that it was 2021 and they were in an incredibly favorable fundraising environment. It's not "what are we going to use this funding for?" It's "investors are flush with stimulus cash and leveraged to th

Startup valuation is based mostly on sentiment in the current age so if you're not breathlessly hyping up your shitty product you're almost literally leaving money on the table.

This is the primary reason why creatives despise Adobe despite some people here arguing that it's for the AI art generation. They hate that too but the biggest pain point by far is the toxic business relation you have to maintain to co

Artists don't hate Adobe just because they're making an AI art generator, they hate Adobe because it's a predatory, scummy corporation that is difficult to work with and is the gatekeeper for common industry tools. Also, Adob

You can get a watch that's more accurate and more complex than one of these for under $1000 in an Apple watch or a Casio. For me, this feels like one of the less harmful things rich people do. Ultimately you're paying a bunch of s

Vacheron Constantin is one of the big 3 Swiss watch brands that also include Patek Phillipe and Audemars Piguet. These are a tier above Rolex and Omega and they specifically trade on scarceness and exclusivity. You haven't heard of the

The biggest mistake liberals have made is thinking leaving the markets to their own devices wouldn't lead to an accumulation of wealth so egregious that the nation collapses into fascism as the wealthy use their power to dismantle the

"Hey these tools are kind of disappointing" "You just need to learn to use them right" Ad infinitum as we continue to get middling results from the most overhyped piece of technology of all time.

Langchain is one of the most hilarious libraries I've ever had the displeasure of looking through. Many of the abstractions look like they were written by a college student who took clean code way too literally. Many of the methods are

You might be surprised to learn that ethics and legality are not always the same and you can do something that's technically legal but also extremely shitty like training AI models on work you didn't create without permission.
