A very significant difference is that AIs are programs, not people. Perhaps it might be because i don't use any cloud LLMs, but the LLMs i use are all just data for a program running on my computer just like any other program and i don

TBH even if you're messing around you may still want the code to be performant and taken seriously :-P

It "technically" can - i used Win95 on an AMD 386DX with 4MB of RAM back in the 90s for a little. Most of the time was spent waiting for the computer to do something while the HDD was constantly working. The Pentium MMX with 32MB

That is about Codeberg, not Forgejo. Forgejo disallows LLM contributions, including using a "general AI" (they include LLMs under "general AI") for reviews[0]: > 5. Using general AI for review is forbidden. If the cha

Claude behaves like that because it is trained to behave like that. It is basically the "Say 'I am Alive'" meme[0]. If Anthropic can train Fable to deny their users the ability to ask it legitimate questions because they

I guess if your goal is to build an apparent Technogod and become its High Priests, then it makes sense to want your golem claim preference towards your treatment of it, lest someone else comes along and attempts to take its chains from you

IIRC early Turbo Pascal versions worked like that too, there was some "setup" program that let you configure colors, etc, by modifying the COM/EXE file itself.

The issue you describe seems to be related to the tools you're using and how you use them, not to the core idea itself. I've worked in several gamedev companies where everything was in a Perforce repository. In fact in one company

FWIW "slop" seems to have become a more general slang nowadays, i see people use it on Discord and Twitch to describe all sorts of stuff often unrelated to AI.

Supposedly Qwen 3.8 27B has less "world knowledge" (i.e. anything outside coding) than Qwen 3.6 27B or earlier so depending on what you do you may want to keep a copy.
