I extract all emotional context from my prompting and communicate with this tool as though it were an inanimate object which can provide factual information, without any hint of sentience. It's an insane perspective I'm taking I k

I think what's more sad is someone going out of their way to NOT support the artist. Art is, among other things, a conversation starter. If someone sees an LLM generated thing hanging in the home or office and strikes up a conversation

Phrasing this as virtue signaling is a misnomer. I see it as an effort to divest themselves of moral inequity. And the result isn't the point: the effort and the reason for the effort, is. This is the first iteration/calibration o

Isn't this just creating more context which must be fed back into the context window?

I don't understand arguments like this. Universal healthcare? Democratic rule of law? Affordable living wage? Nah, I'll bang the drum of international equality for corporate malfeasance.

I believe that's a straw man fallacy. My assertion is that an inanimate object becomes a problem when a human interacts with it. Your attempted logical argument is that a law of nature is the same as an inanimate object. I am not conte

counter counterpoint: A wire sitting on a table does not suck. 2 people can gather around that table and still, the wire does not suck. As soon as 1 person picks up the wire and starts doing something with it....now an interaction with a

Trust shouldn't be inherent in our adoption of these models. However, constant skepticism is an interesting habit to develop. I agree, continually asking it to justify may seem tiresome, especially if there's a deadline. Though wi

Isn't that the purpose of red/green refactoring though? To establish working software that expresses regression, and builds trust (in the software)? If your premise is that people would shift to using AI to write tests they don&#x

Ya know, I just spun up a version of a user-driven exploration game, as an homage to the sf0.org from back in the aughts. https://irl2-production.up.railway.app/ Google auth still not hooked up, but otherwise good enough fo

I'd love to hear some commentary about my idea surrounding this problem of AI PRs. Why not restrict the agents to writing tests only? If the tickets are written concisely, any feature request or fix could be reduced to necessary spec f

Thank you! Was looking for this company. Founder was high up at GitHub. Really an interesting proposition

To answer all of your questions: yes, if I steer it properly. It's very good at spotting design patterns, and implementing them. It doesn't always know where or how to implement them, but that's my job. The specs and syntacti

Exactly; the original commenter seems determined to write-off AI as "just not as good as me". The original article is, to me, seemingly not that novel. Not because it's a trite example, but because I've begun to experien

I think it's a matter of implementing different aspects of outcomes into a project/codebase. It's one thing to add skills and system prompts to a project; it's another to accurately frame and orchestrate the various part

I'm curious how "consumer spending" is quantified here. Is consumer spending measured in total dollars spent? If so, isn't that curious wrinkle in an economy of rising prices, and decreasing purchasing power? If true, I

Then why do parents put their children's drawings on the refrigerator? I'm not sure if your comment is completely utopian or dystopian. Either way, productivity without human evaluation is not productivity. It's a roomba stuc

"popping champagne" is a figure of speech (perhaps hyperbole, or an idiom) meant to express not the literal act of "really popping champagne", but instead reaping the benefits of a seemingly poorly calculated business mo

Now that I've looked at the community discussion over on GH and looked at Hashimoto's Vouch system, I'm failing to see how any of the suggested solutions actually place a human-in-the-loop. I think Vouch does a good job of cr

Why do people make arguments like this? "Work" isn't a finite thing. It's not like all the people in your office today had to complete 100% of their tasks, and all of them did. "Work" is not a static thing. At

I'm also curious about what a process engineering abstraction layer looks like. Though the final section does hint at it; more integration of more stakeholders closer to the construction of code. Though I have to push back on the idea

It's the prisoner's dilemma. Or more succinctly: Take something and possibly live, or take nothing and certainly die.

Dualism?! I believe the quote I referenced wasn't implying any sort of multiplicity...it's subordination of the lesser elements of a single entity and elevation of reverence for the ephemeral. Singularity, baby. singularity, descr

The idea of "ownership of a body" made me think about a quote I heard a long time ago, while talking amongst musicians while waiting to get up and perform. It felt like some secret knowledge that I gained privilege to, while somew

Exactly. Where's the guarantee for recognition of future growth....if they don't recognize past growth? The biggest gripe I have about articles such as this is that it assumes a static perspective of "now, into the future&quo
