It's very odd. I see it everywhere I go. I think a lot of the younger generation supports it, actually. They didn't really grow up with a culture of internet anonymity and some degree of privacy.

Crippling debt from unwise impulsive gambling by a teenager is probably worse than whatever occurs from a teenager scrolling Twitter all day. The latter may not be great, but eating potato chips all day also probably isn't, and I don&#

We need to destroy privacy and anonymity online for the noble goal of the government banning teenagers from looking at Twitter and Instagram? If it's a concern, parents can prevent or limit their children's use. If all this were b

What problem? I don't think internet websites and apps actually need to know the face, age, or name of their users if their users don't want to provide that information. With exceptions for things like gambling websites.

Except Bondi was wrong and I am right, and also letting the economy collapse actually would be really, really bad and saying things like that is something only children and economically illiterate people do. Also, most of the things I liste

Further analyses by others seem to show it is likely all written by an LLM.

While I agree with much of what you say, there are a lot of urban, educated, socially left, economically right people (including myself) who complicate some of this analysis. Many economically right-wing people believe a free market is the

I like infinite scrolling. Probably most users like it. My country's government banning apps from letting me infinite scroll in them sounds very paternalistic and silly. I make apps for myself above all else. I always add infinite scro

For a few years, yeah. Eventually it will probably lead to the average quality of code being considerably higher than it was pre-LLMs.

Probably one of these scissor statements where economic leftists think that obviously the problem is focusing way too much on [X] and the others saying the problem is focusing far too little on [X].

AI for helping mitigate PTSD, or helping with the investigations? Because the latter basically entails helping create a surveillance state. Which in theory could be an acceptable trade-off, but it seems disingenuous to say "AI companie

Conspiracist nonsense. Like, this could hypothetically explain a few things for a few industries where both parties somewhat align, but in general this is populist slop.

Obviously one cannot simply accept any potential societal trade-off in favor of benefitting the economy, but going too far in the opposite direction eventually manifests as worse living standards for the average person, which is not benefic

My main concern is that these companies will sell to almost anyone willing to buy. The technology itself is not inherently evil (I do want spyware on, say, Ghislaine Maxwell's phone, were she to be released), but the fact that almost a

Don't get me wrong, I get why they want to and it is probably a justified security concern, but it's also things like that which will probably cause Europe's economy to continue to stagnate while the US's will probably c

Have you ever tried using Claude Code or Codex on a codebase?

by meowface 8mo ago
Yeah, I have been extremely pro-AI and have been for decades, and I use LLMs daily, but this is not an acceptable use of an LLM. Especially since it's fabricating quotes, so there's the plagiarism issue and then the veracity issue

Someone who predicts 15 of the last 2 recessions is a charlatan even when their claims come true.

In a few decades, AIs will probably be better at those than most humans. Possibly even sooner.

Because, while I have been a huge AI optimist for decades, I generally don't like their current writing output. And even if I did, it would feel like plagiarism unless I prepended it with "an AI responded with this:", which w

I could write an essay about how almost everything you wrote either is extremely incorrect or is extremely likely to be incorrect. I am too lazy to, though, so I will just have to wait for another commenter to do the equivalent.

I feel the same, but, also, within like three years this might look very different. Maybe you'll give the full end-to-end goal upfront and it just polls you when it needs clarification or wants to suggest alternatives, and it self-mana
