They're probably creating way more vulnerabilities than they're solving. Go look at OpenCode and tell me that any of that is sane. Or fuck, the OG of vibe coding, Claude basically is a terrifying attack vector. It's poorly re

The notion that alignment is either possible or desirable doesn't make sense to me. First off, these things are trained on the open internet, soo.. whatever "dangerous" knowledge it has is already public knowledge . The fact

I think I lost some brain cells reading that copium. LLMs providing a “Permanent military advantage”.. dumb!!

So we no longer need to tell it a kitten will die if it hallucinates a function call?

If my baby keeps growing at this rate, in 5 years she'll be as tall as the empire state building.

Personally, I would avoid "ai-native" companies like the plague; they seem like places full of burnout and delusional expectations.

Anecdotally, I (along with the rest of my team) got laid off from a big tech company at the end of January. The stated reason was "AI", although I think as we all know the real reason was "we overhired in 2022". I manage

I'm using Qwen 3.6 27B on a macbook with Pi. It's alright, it runs fairly quick (40 tps for quality version, 80 for the fast). It doesn't tend to one shot things but I'm generally comfortable fixing the bugs myself after

I don't see why anyone is shocked that people would want to build a community that keeps out vibe coders and crypto bros. There are plenty of options, who cares?

The problem with AI benchmarks is that they can/will be gamed. You pretty much have to keep the criteria a secret for it to mean anything. I guess that's a long winded way of saying I don't trust any benchmarks -- sql or othe

You could have gained that stuff prior to LLMs. The leg up you're describing is free information on the internet, not AI. AI just makes it a little easier to find, while also crushing the original sources in the process. (Even if it ha

I think it depends on where you think we are on the S curve of intelligence growth. (Yes, I think it's an S curve, not an unbounded exponential). If you think we're near the peak than playing catch up (especially if you can play c

It's both acceptable and inevitable. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This is what they deserve for the awful way they treat creators and creative people's intellectual property and livelihood.

I really like this, but I think I'd be confused if I saw this without context -- the current behavior is so ingrained in me that any deviation would kind of be a wtf. Not unrecoverable but I think it's hard to change something so

Are there really downsides to creatine though? (Genuine question). All the advice I've seen makes it seem like it's basically just good for you even if it doesn't accomplish some specific thing. The only downside I've he

These guys are not creators or inventors. They're hype men.

I'm fairly certain they're both malicious and stupid.

I think all that regulation will do at this point is help the incumbents who are failing. Protectionism. I don't think they deserve that help. I also don't see any reason to think the current administration would have anything res

Oh cool, you're remaking things that already exist. You know why you can few shot those things? Because they already exist.

One thing that I find frustrating/disturbing about LLM generated code is that wrong stuff doesn't usually look wrong, so you almost have to review it even closer than what you'd review from a person. Like in the past when a d

Yeah, it used to be the friction of making something was at least a partial sign that it had been thought out to some degree. Now it's just "lets lob it on users and make them figure out if this is worth a damn". I feel like

I'm kind of getting to the point where if I know something is vibe coded, I just won't use it. It's not an anti-AI thing, it's just a quality thing. Pretty much every piece of vibe coded software I've used has been

I imagine they'd be split up, and the essential database business would be what's actually bailed out.

Cal Newport has a grounded take on what the Erdos thing meant in practical terms: https://youtu.be/fhZRWZ6J4k4 Long story short this is much less impressive than it was sold to be. Basically they had mathematicians combing

I think stylized scenes can be just as immersive. I've never been in a game and been like "GAH this pixel art is throwing me out of it!" I'm not saying realism is without value, just that it's probably a little over

I agree, although I think it will be a lot sooner than 10-15 years. I'm running local AI right now and it's definitely not production grade yet, but it's surprisingly good. Speculative prediction that I probably shouldn'
