It's not about ai anymore. This is the new culture war. As shitty as this is, I'm glad that it's happening because things like this erode the shamers credibility. There were plenty of histrionic COVID warriors that tried to r

I'm currently doing this with PlayStation games. Primarily using deepseek flash v4 and qwen 3.8 27b. But with escalations to fable and sol at times. On optimistic days, I'd say, "it is solved". But it's a little mor

I'm so burned out working in the insanity of the org that I'm supposedly a leader in that I'm considering leaving and I don't know what... Maybe I'll buy some run down property and fix it up. Try to make some money

People _really_ don't want there to be success stories for llms and they will go through all lengths to discredit and disparage folks successfully exploring the space.

What makes you think tokens are too cheap? I can run qwen 3.8 27b on my 5090 for the price of electricity. If anything, tokens are overpriced.

Having been in this racket for some time, it's very rare to not have pockets of extreme criticism of the things you share online. It doesn't matter how passionate you are or how honest, there will always be armchair critics that a

You seem to be obsessed with making things about me. That's you projecting your insecurities. If you need religion, I'm not going to stop you. Also, you're condescending tone at the end is adorable. Very cute. Mommmmy nooo yo

I'm not projecting. It's literally what the community is founded on. If you don't like the association, take it up with the group. Effective Altruism is in of itself a philosophy developed by charlatans that refuse to engage

Effective altruists are a transhumanist cult filled with people that think an ML degree qualifies them to speak on subjects outside of their domain and make decisions on behalf of humanity. A disclosure should be required next to anything t

Now you just get to think, "did this person strip the stenography from the content?" Nothing will save us. You can't automate trust.

Ah, uk research institutions. The paragon of austerity for the common man. How are we going to fix the climate crises? Not a sensible carbon policy and mandates on international corporations and nation states[1][2][3][4]. No, just stop havi

There are (very coarsely) two types of people: - people who like writing code for codes sake - people who like writing code to build things In the past, these folks have lived more or less in harmony unified under the common interest of app

Upfront: I read your article because I was genuinely interested. Im genuinely annoyed when hackernews filled top comments that complain about llm assisted articles. Having said that, consider taking more care when authoring articles with th

I don't disagree, but I'd point out that this is a weak steeleman. Essentially it's, "past performance guarantees future results." We only have a limited sample size of economic data.

I work with these people every day. They are brilliant for sure, in their domain. But their confidence over extends into areas where they are totally ignorant. So much so that it makes them look ridiculous and foolish to anyone else. You&#x
