Calling things "slop" is just begging the question. The real differentiating factor is that, in the past, "human-generated slop" at least took effort to produce. Perhaps, in the process of producing it, the human notices

K et al. can look like that, but this example doesn't require any explanation to someone who has any familiarity.

I don't think we're saying different things. People who are distressed about their appearance are more likely to be depressed, and people who seek medicine and surgeries are probably more distressed still, and therefore more likel

There's probably a difference in degree, however. Alopecia Areata is much more uncommon, while regular male pattern baldness is very common. There's also the fact that Alopecia Areata is actually more common in women, which I imag

It's also possible that people taking Finasteride might be a more potent selection of people that are distressed about hair loss, and are therefore more likely to exhibit depression, etc. As in, if people with androgenetic alopecia are

I remember discussing with some coworkers a year(?) ago about autocomplete vs chat, and we were basically in agreement that autocomplete was the better feature of the two. Since we've had Claude Code for a few months I think our opinio

I often ask Claude to scan through the code first and then come back with questions related to the task. It sometimes comes back with useful questions, but most of the time it acts like a university student looking for participation marks f

It's often said that formal verification moves bugs from the implementation to the specification, and there's also the problem of proving equality between the formally proven specification and the implementation. The first problem

Your prompting suggestion would certainly make them much better at this task, I would think. I think it just points to the fact that LLMs have no "sense of self". They have no real knowledge or understanding of what they know or w

It does say something that the models simultaneously: a) "know" that they're not able to do it for the reason you've outlined (as in, you can ask about the limitations of LLMs for counting letters in words) b) still blin

Groq and Cerebras definitely have the t/s, but their hardware is tremendously expensive, even compared to the standard data center GPUs. Worth keeping in mind if we're talking about a $20 subscription.

They're using the term 'bullshit' as it is understood as a term of art, which doesn't imply lying. It's closer to creating a response without any regard for telling the truth. Bullshitting is often most effective wh

Is there any evidence that central planning on a much larger scale is drastically more efficient? We're talking about a whole country, after all. I take your point that companies themselves are usually centrally planned internally, but

We have examples of countries with universal healthcare, long maternity leave, economic incentives to have children, and better social safety nets. They have lower birth rates than the United States. Look at Sweden, Norway, and Finland. I&#

But the point is that the illness of developed nations is having the symptoms treated by infusions of immigrants from countries that don't _yet_ have the same illness. If it's a matter of "as countries develop they have less

"Just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. It definitely helps with getting data but actually training your model would be very capital intensive, ignoring the cost of paying for those outputs you're training on.

My concern isn't that it's messing up my architecture as I scream in protest from the other room, powerless to stop it. I agree with you and I think I'm being quite clear. Without relatively close guidance, it will paint you

It depends on what you're doing. If it's a simple task, or you're making something that won't grow into something larger, eyeballing the code and testing it is usually perfect. These types of tasks feel great with Claude

For OpenAI: short answer is no. From what I've seen, their biggest expense is training future models. If they stop that (putting aside the obvious downsides) they'd still be in the hole for a few billion dollars a year. This is ba

I get where you're coming from, but given that LLMs are trained on every available written word regardless of license, there's no meaningful distinction. Companies training LLMs for programming and writing show the same disregard

To be clear, we're not in disagreement. We should all respect each other. However, it's pretty clear that the cat's out of the bag, and trying to claw back protections for only one group of people is stupid. It really betrays

I get it, you have an axe to grind against some subset of programmers who are "nerds" in a "piracy culture". Artists don't deserve special protections. It sucks for your family members, I really mean that, but they
