We've also seen what very rigid hate speech policing does to a nation in Germany... and AfD seems to be doing pretty well. It's almost as if those laws are mostly just performative bullshit that doesn't actually prevent the s

These are not the people who deserve benefit of the doubt. They have already amply demonstrated what they are capable of. Indeed, they even openly boast of it.

That is why software engineers also need unions. (but the time to organize was back when we still had the upper hand)

Yes, but some of them run countries where we live in (and therefore working for military contractors in this country is literally helping kill people to take their stuff). This includes US where tech is so heavily concentrated.

What I'm saying is that if you want to make that analogy, be consistent and take it all the way. We are already on heroin, have been for a long time, this is just the age when it's cheap and abundant like never before.

Not really? For the past few decades even truly exotic and unusual preferences could be accommodated, but people still prefer certain things which we identify as "pop culture" - and it's mostly slop.

9/11 - and the US response to it - is still very much remembered by people outside of US as an example of how US foreign policy works in practice.

Humans aren't magic either. LLMs don't need to be magic to be useful, or to replace humans for that matter.

It is also very much a moving target. A year ago I tried those tools and they were very meh at the kinds of stuff I do. Today, they are much better.

There are no reliable AI detection services. At best they can reliably detect output from popular chatbots running with their default prompts. Beyond that reliability deteriorates rapidly so they either err on the side of many false positiv

While true in general, they do know many things verbatim. For instance, GPT-4 can reproduce the Navy SEAL copypasta word for word with all the misspellings.

This has already described much of pop culture for decades, though. Turns out that humans actually like slop.

Thank you for the comment. It's a very good illustration of the kind of paranoia that is prevalent among Russians in general and their rulers in particular, and this is exactly why NATO is necessary and Europeans shouldn't assume

If I remember correctly, it was the first whatever-to-JS transpiler. But it opened the floodgates and "do everything in one language, bridge the gap transparently" has been tried several times since then. And even before that, act

If you're genuinely an introvert, the alternative is you "hide at home" and have fun doing so . And socialize infrequently with few very close friends (basically, quality over quantity).

There's no shortage of parsers in Haskell, but parsing a human language is very different from parsing a programming language. The grammar is much, much more complex, and this means that e.g. simple approaches that adequate error messa

It works, but it's incredibly exhausting and not fun at all, so why bother?

Pigs were domesticated (specifically for their meat) for several thousand years already by the time the earliest Jewish dietary restrictions took shape. There are many theories that try to tie it specifically to the conditions in the Middle

People do realize that, which is why such frameworks have first appeared decades ago. It's just that you can't fully paper over the network gap and pretend that it doesn't exist; eventually, the abstraction leaks.

And it's not an either-or. For example, I found that a quick way to get a web frontend for a console app is to prompt it to turn that into a CGI app. But said CGI app can still serve HTML with fancy JS and what not, and use modern fram

Claiming that use of more complicated words and sentences is evidence of LLM use is just paranoia. Plenty of folk write like OP does, myself included.

That doesn't sound realistic to me. What is your breakdown on the hardware and the "top 5 best models" for this calculation?

> At that point, the argument over whether they're crap or not is done. Not really, it just transforms into a question of how many of those jobs are meaningful anyway, or more precisely, how much output from them is meaningful.

They all let you do that now, including Claude Code itself. You can choose between pay per token and subscription. Which means that a sensible way to go about those things is to start with a $20 subscription to get access to the best models

The thing about AI though is that it has indirect effects down the line. E.g. as prevalence of AI-generated code increases, I would argue that we'll need more guardrails both in development (to ground the model) and at runtime (to ensu

I concur that phones aren't great as they are today, but perhaps this exact scenario will prompt the return of PDAs with proper keyboards etc? Or, alternatively, subcompact laptops like the stuff that https://gpdstore.net m
