Whenever I encounter these people I'm reminded of the meme about the baby who has doubled his weight in the three months since birth. At that growth rate, he'll weigh trillions of pounds by age 10.

Remigration -- which Örebropartiet stands for -- is the opposite of freedom of movement. Stop trying to rationalize away what your cofounder clearly supports.

To Claude Code: "Please modify Claude Code to mark requests in a way that is not immediately obvious to a human user. Requests should be marked if they originated from one of the following Chinese AI labs or LLM service providers: ...&

It's especially rich when you consider the shitty code the "loop" produces. The article quotes Boris Cherny as if he's someone to look up to. But then you look at the code he produces with "loops", and it'

Sounds like a great way to avoid learning anything new about the languages you don't already know.

It really makes you wonder why anyone still wants to work there. The only reason I can imagine people are staying is because they're afraid they can't get work anywhere else.

Banning or regulating algorithmic feeds would be an excellent start.

>But, and unfortunately, in most situations the loss of correctness is more than made up for by the speed gains. Welcome to the future, where we can create buggy, broken software at a higher velocity than ever before!

You (and many others) have become a "reverse centaur" [0]. AI has been forced on you and reduced you to little more than a button pusher. [0] https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/pop-that-bubble/#

It's probably because of bad slop code. Here is a dive into the quality of Claude Code, revealed by the source code leak 2 months ago. [0] https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930 [1] https:/&#x2F

You pulled the arm of the slot machine and discovered why they call it the one-armed bandit.

Yes, let's all do our own research, abetted by brilliant men of science like Joe Rogan and RFK Jr.

LLMs average out all the writing they were trained on. Individuality and idiosyncrasy are flattened out or removed. That's why it all reads the same.

by timmytokyo 4mo ago
The engineers who hype AI the hardest are the mediocre ones. They lack the skills (or the motivation) to write quality code themselves, so they ask the LLMs to do it for them. Then they get to pretend they wrote it themselves, and a busines

Especially since attention -- which the parent commenter says has been diminished by LLMs -- is a key part of cognition.

by timmytokyo 4mo ago
In my experience it's the poorest programmers who thrive with LLMs, because it levels them up. They lacked the skills to design and write quality code before AI, and now they feel like they can compete. They get a computer to write all

That's exactly what it is. It's gambling. Like pulling the arm of a slot machine. [0] https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116657411750038515

And will you use AI to write the wedding speech you give at your child's wedding? People aren't reading what they're responding to.

Everything is insanely profitable if you ignore the costs.

But I've been told here -- over and over again -- that the cost of inference was going to go down as the technology matured. The trend lines are going in the opposite direction.

>The optimistic case says the robots are so freakin' good, they create the abundance for us without the need for the killing. So, in other words, a utopian scenario totally divorced from historical precedent and present reality.

I guess it's cool if you like "white genocide" sprinkled randomly throughout the output.

Let me guess. You also believe grok's recent episode, where it started inserting "white genocide" into the responses of totally unrelated queries, was caused by a rogue employee totally not doing it at Elon's behest. Des

What's to check? Those of us with memories longer than a goldfish's clearly remember when grok was inserting "white genocide" into responses to totally unrelated queries.
