Alongside a slew of other things you really, really don’t want.

What’s that line about vegetarians? Like how do you know if someone’s a vegetarian? They’ll tell you. This, but Rust.

This ship has sailed.

This is AI-maxing bleeding into everything. “Make me a great conference presentation”, and this is roughly what you get. AI-nshittification writ large. It’s sad to watch.

Herein lies the seeds of the Revolution that is being fomented by the very class of educators, speakers, and generationally privileged who exhibit casual, naive contempt for the au…

Hey bro I heard you like skills so I put a skill in your oh whatever

Yours is a “God of the gaps” argument. You will remain technically correct (the best kind of correct!) long after the statistical machine has subsumed your practical argument, cont…

Perhaps more accurately they’re worth what it costs YOU in legal fees to defend them coming after you. Those are real dollars you still have to spend.

You better mean “hiking” as in through the metaverse forest strapped into your corporate-sponsored VR headset, because outside time is for citizens only, friend.

Only after exhausting every other avenue

AI creates the most spectacular happy path demos. It’s hard not to extrapolate to infinity when you see it.

Don’t bother with this if you want to get promoted. Others have discussed this in thread and are right. If you build beautiful, simplified abstractions, your skill will be taken fo…

The doom loop Gemini gets into is genuinely unpleasant to read. “I’m so stupid. I should be ashamed of myself. I’m such a loser. Idiot, idiot. Oh god I suck. I’m an embarrassment.”…

Really useful comment thanks. Reminder that LLMs aren’t just for coding.

This generalises to “Agents respond well to red/green feedback loops”.

Doesn’t this all go to shit if they can’t flip into a for profit by December? Tons of cash commitments are tied to that far-from-finalised outcome.

This guy gets it. +1

I used to consult on this type of thing. I’m not entirely convinced this is what’s happening here but it’s close enough, and is a well trod playbook - dress up the mundane in theat…

At full pace that means 62 mins until you hit the daily cap.
