Knowing Sam, that's exactly what happened -- and the echo chamber inside OpenAI wouldnt dare to disagree

This one too: "It’s a proven pattern."

I know right, had this discussion last week and it's difficult to argue when people are blinded by the "magic" and hype of the slot machine.

yup, all these folks claiming AI is the bees knees are delegating their thinking to a roulette that may or may not give proper answers. the world will become more and more like the movie idiocracy

Imagine they got their smart engineers to improve and refine Wine (and adjacent tools), rather than pushing out slop, it would be truly amazing

But who would create AI?

I doubt they checked the code though

The problem is that how do you review code if you don't know what it is supposed to look like? Creativity is not only in the problem solving step but also when implementing it, and letting an LLM do most of it is incredibly dangerous f

How much do you use AI in your day? Are you a heavy user? Asking because your comment has a lot of "LLM mannerism"

A similar thing happened to me in South America while on vacation, I was looking to book an Uber but the taxi driver gave me a small discount to do it "on the side" and explained that he wouldn't see most of the money from Ub

To add they want to rewrite Windows in Rust with AI, which I can only assume they hope will keep the software quality up but I doubt it

Bleh, I think a typo here and there is fine, you can grasp the meaning, and gives the writing style "character". Yes, it's dire but I'd take that over the soul-less LLM writing style.

As I've read through the post, seeing phrases like "Why this matters for performance", usage of em-dashes and lists/bullet points, screams AI written to me. I appreciate you saying it wasn't, but such is the fate of
