Yeah this is wild. Someone grew up watching old cartoons and not much else?

Counterpoint: Swearing off AI doesn't ipso facto make you a good developer, and there are plenty of skilled people who can innovate and use AI at the same time.

The solution is to find a way to use these tools in such a way that saves us huge amounts of time but still forces us to think and document our decisions. Then, teach these methods in school. Self-directed, individual use of LLMs for genera

If the author didn't have the good taste and decency to edit the painfully obvious generated text, I just assume the message is low quality.

Why would I want to take advice about keeping humans in the loop from someone who let an LLM write 90% of their blog post?

Synthesizing 500 words at a time into digestible topics is significantly less prone to error. You're giving it a lot of info and asking for an organized subset. It's good at following such direction. In your example, you're d

I guess the question is: how much is medium? DuckDB can handle quite a lot of data without breaking a sweat. Certainly if you prefer writing SQL for certain things, it's a no-brainer.

You make your slant against Wikipedia immediately obvious by attempting to smear it. You lazily link it with porn, but you're not making an actual point.

This is so clumsily constructed and so transparently self-serving that my opinion of the whole enterprise, such as it is, is lowered.

This is a massive shift.

You really learn how bad everyone's taste is, just how low the bar can be when it comes to the written word. LLMs really can teach us something about ourselves!

In the interest of fairness, can you really say different about "mainstream" French culture?

I would detest living in a world where regulators assign liability in this way, it sounds completely ridiculous. On a level with "speech is violence".

I'll take this to mean that you think arbitrary access to a computer's capabilities will require licensure, in which case I think this is a bad metaphor. The point of a driver's license is that driving a ton of steel around a

After reading that article, I see at least one thing that Opus 4.5 is clearly not going to change. There is no fixed truth regarding what an "app" is, does, or looks like. Let alone the device it runs on or the technology it uses.

LLMs make me mad because used without intention, they make the curious more incurious, the thoughtful more thoughtless. The Internet has arguably been doing the same thing the whole time, but just more slowly. I think distinguished engineer

GP clearly said that it was Jobs' obsession that was revolutionary. In bringing up modern Apple, you are arguing against things no one here has said. And are you actually claiming that Windows is an open ecosystem...? And in fact so

Getting more than a little tired of "news" stories like this, that read as though the author is learning about the subject matter for the first time. That in itself is fine, of course. Less fine is the author's thoughtless as

I have no idea what you're on about but the point is this chills speech, and infringes on the rights of everyone involved, not just underage people.

Yes, I would say this is harsh. Primarily because OP actually did call out accessibility as a concern. That is the opposite of teaching the reader to ignore people who use a11y features. Nor is it OP's responsibility to teach their rea
