    Its weird to me that this is supposed to be THE end goal. Having an agent that does "everything" for you sounds like no paradise. It sounds depressing. Maybe there is value in expe…

    Sure, but why doesn't said business partner just give a requirement to the AI to do the business partner's own job? Since it is hypothetically superhuman at fulfilling requirements…

    The no capitals is really hard for me. Especially given the font "i" makes me think of the imaginary number and I get mentally derailed even though I know it's not. Or maybe it's j…

    And similar to the low quality of developers... If you are even thinking about writing clean and testable code, having clearly defined API boundaries, and keeping a repeatable buil…

    "Solved" (heavy quotes) because instiutionalizing dozens of millions of people with no improvement is a massive crime in and of itself. That's like those stories of LLMs saying "I …

    "The model refuses to follow my specific word detail prompts" and "The model refuses to perform hacking attempts" are on the same side of the model refusing to do something baked i…

    Some would say "Gang of four" and "Design patterns" and "OOP" are all marketing BS

    They can, but what would make them think their initial misunderstanding is even wrong? While some might think "surely the system isn't like that..." many would default to "of cours…

    I think because the gradient is simply too confusing for laypeople to understand. Even for a simple system like US social security that has a gradient. For every $2 you make over t…

    I think the methodology is interesting, but you can probably design a similar, and probably better loop for "diving" into a topic and going through examples than is presented. I ha…

    Slop aimed towards children has practically _always_ existed. The "100,000 whys" naming reminds me of an old "700000 games" CD AI slop is just a more complete reimplementation of t…

    That license IS any copy left license, but nobody will trust a random fork is my understanding. I can agree though that the network effect of "everyone else uses X" is pretty unfor…

    Representative democracy was supposed to be the solution for this. i.e. "I dont know what the best way to do age verification should be, but it's probably important"... and then vo…

    Im not sure OpenAI or Anthropic are necessarily better? Or even opposed to this

    You are correct, but especially in current day that analogy is quite bad. I expect Median LoC might be very high with the average developer using AI these days... but the dev who i…

    That does not sound at all reassuring, that the only safeguard is the system blocking access and that the API has no safeguard. Its also easily possible to have sensitive files mis…

    I would also imagine the majority of people used to RLHF on AI could have English not as a first language. I have no expertise in this area, but I feel like the tuning at that phas…

    The controls are really frustrating on mobile. Clicking a new tile sometimes adds it to my district. Other times it makes a new district?

    Just down vote and move on. You're helping them generate better slop by providing input like this
