You will NEVER be a good to great writer if you use AI to seed your writing and then edit it. _Everything_ AI generates, is generalized slop. All of your ideas will be boring and derivative. Mediocre writers will be improved, but the best w

hard to believe anyone who writes something this overwhelmingly positive. I use a ton of AI, it writes a shit load of code for me, and I eventually get good results. Its also goes off on ridiculous tangents, implements things i dont want,

LLMs can’t trade effectively. there is too much data and A moves too fast and there’s too much context. A small mistake would destroy an account.

This does not get to the core of it, LLMs are not equivalent to cars. All of your analogies (in other posts) discount that: - LLMs are not deterministic - they do not produce high quality/expert level output. - They are not easy to

I dont know how you can work in this discipline, use AI, and also ask that question. almost every developer i know is fully aware, we are degrading every aspect of our skills. The code writing, code reviewing, code understanding. The more &

I just cant imagine anything vibe coded being maintained for more than a few months. The moment random bugs start hitting and fixing the bugs starts breaking other things, no one is going to want to contribute. Its all going to devolve into

Class war started about 15 years ago post 2007 financial crisis. The banks and those who control them all knew where we are headed, so they got a little head start destabilizing democracy. Once us working class get a grasp of the actual sit

We are in a different phase of Capitalism, real interest rates will be kept low mechanically. Nominal Inflation rate will always be lied about. Bonds holders will lose value by design. The governments and central banks across the world have

There are no "best" prompts. Its a random BS generation machine that you can at times direct enough to get stuff done for you. The output will almost always have varying levels of BS that you have to clean up with various levels o

pretty sure anyone doing "real" work nowadays does it like this. The guys vibe coding in a professional setting are just frauds and the slop will catch up to them. Maybe. Its possible we're just headed to a world where the qu

This is literally the American way. Everyone does this at every level, from Execs down to middle managers, for every possible metric.

well i've got some bad news, that era has now entered its maximum power phase. Our government has literally been systematically deconstructed to become unable to govern.

What is your motivation? What you are doing is very impressive for sure, but the longer term life of this project seems incertain to me. While you might be able to accomplish your goal of production readyness, you'll only have version

When it tips the other way, we will be entering the economic dark ages, exactly proportional to how long we’ve been kicking this can down the road, which is likely since 2007 at least.

No, the "essence" of engineering is having a cohesive vision for a larger plan. No quality large scale project can exist without it. And any seasoned engineer should understand by now that no SOTA LLM can produce quality engineeri

You have tactics and strategy mixed up. Killing Iran leadership was a tactical success. Continually shooting long range missiles into a giant country is a strategic failure.

All small business marketing material now looks exactly the same. LLMs produce an extremely small range of artistic expression, and its kind of ironic, that while it certainly looks functionally good. It immediately becomes noise because ev

We as humans have to accept that systems operating on this scale have no other options than kicking the can down the road. Like, throw the global economy into a 5-10 year depression is not an option, despite the fact that clearly it is what

It’s just optimized for generating text and evoking emotional responses rather than getting a point across. A good writer says what needs to be said and no more, AI is on the other side of the spectrum, it just needs to say things just to s
