Did you create a new extension or a custom script for an existing one?

Until it breaks and can no longer be fixed because it is now all inscrutable spaghetti.

How do you instruct the LLM to use each of these files? Do you use “soul” for example? Or?

I imagine content farms, social media bots, at-scale scam operations, blackhat seo, busywork homework, social media propaganda botnetworks have all seen a significant boost of oroductivity.

I hope a quick removal of em dashes is not the only thing that separates us from undetectable slop.

Is copyright law not a type of contract? Was copyright law not violated, repeatedly, in the training process of LLMs?

AGI is a sales pitch, not a realistic goal achievable by LLM-based technology. The exponential growth sold to investors is also a pitch, not reality. What’s being sold is at best hopes and more realistically, lies.

by andrei_says_ 8mo ago
LLM technology does not have a connection with reality nor venues providing actual understanding. Correction of conceptual errors require understanding. Vomiting large amounts of inscrutable unmaintainable code for every change is not exact

Amazing. But last year’s iPhone cannot download a critical security iOS update for last year’s iOS 18. Shoving the horribly broken iOS 26 down our throats is not a pleasant experience, Apple.

If the photo at the bottom of the post is a photo of the OpenAI team, then it’s white bros all the way. Meaning, these products are being created by representatives of the kind of people carrying the most privilege and having the least impa

Am I crazy thinking that interacting with such a system is a nightmarishly frustrating way to write code? Like trying to write with a wet noodle - always off in some way. Write the code feels way more precise and not less efficient.

Thank you for this, can’t wait to use. Minimalism at its best.

No one being surprised at this statement is an indication of how much enshittification and betrayal we have agreed to accept. I’d like to acknowledge the damage I carry as a human being as a result of the pressure to pretend that this is no

My take is sometimes we get paid to be that guy and precision has its place and value. We get lost when being right is seen as having value - instead of improving clarity and precision if needed in a specific context.

by andrei_says_ 8mo ago
It signals a commitment which will help me make a decision. I do pay extra for privacy and quality. Enshittified LLMs are not something I’m interested in.

I'm skeptical about banning sales of tobacco and alcohol products to children because children may (over)use them. Also do we trust adults prescribed oxytocin to manage their use? We are speaking of weaponized addiction at planetary sc

That would be very useful but is not a trivial problem.

Or maybe, while being as good as they are at their jobs, they were forced to follow a broken vision with a non-negotiable release date. And simply chose to keep their jobs.

For more ideas - One can definitely see multigenerational patterns of abuse and trauma as self reproducing parasites.

Why not just write the 5% that contains meaningful communication? Spare the recipients from reading generated filler / slop?

I would love to see a photo of that setup.

100% with you on this, know you’re not the only one bewildered by the insanity of ignoring the cascade, styling everything from scratch, and placing it all in a list of classes.

“Novel” to the person who has not consumed the training data. Otherwise, just training data combined in highly probable ways. Not quite autocomplete but not intelligence either.

Not online. People, together, doing things, ideally having fun. Spaces and activities that provide venues for communication, humor, authenticity, play, touch, collaboration.

TailwindCSS is useful for applying styles to isolated components, in paper-shredder scenarios. Devs using it get to ignore the cascade, don't have to name things, and can use the predefined spacing and colors. It is of course quite unm

Pixelmator is great and integrates well with Apple's tooling for batch processing. For video, the free version of DavinciResolve goes a very long way, and their Studio is a single-payment-life-time license.

What does it take for a megacorp to admit a mistake and correct it??? I think it all boils down to this one question. It’s not complicated.

Not anymore. Tried this but the pulled 18.7.3 for beta upgrades too.

A few thoughts: Someone smart recently wrote that the key factor is becoming who is responsible for the functionality, not who wrote the code. Who guarantees correctness and takes responsibility when shtf? I’d add - especially when the code
