This is a slippery slope, where the number of operators can be allowed to gradually decline until eventually it’s just AI. And given the unreliability of LLMs, this is a grave conc…

This is inherently deceptive.

160 degrees for a chicken breast is perfectly safe. Considerably lower temperatures can also produce microbiologically safe chicken when combined with sufficient holding time. 165 …

At this point I feel like the only factor differentiating SOTA models now is who they’re propagandizing you on behalf of (not considering agentic tooling/state management, etc).

Calling my comment a “temper tantrum” is the exact kind of behavior you’d expect of a Redditor. You may be projecting. Einstein’s fame isn’t the problem. It’s the narrative that he…

I get really tired of Einstein being portrayed as if he’s the greatest scientist who ever lived, when he doesn’t even belong in that conversation. If Einstein never existed, the fi…

Uh, I didn't say I stopped using LLM's 6mos to a year ago. I have to for my job, it was just that long ago that I began to understand that they aren't what they seem and definitely…

Technical debt and skill atrophy Technical debt due to accumulated excessively verbose, badly architected, often redundant, feature-bloated code which always looks good, even upon …

> Why even bother posting, especially as a reply to a completely unrelated comment?

I think I might have written a comment similar to yours maybe 6 months or a year ago. I'm not quite sure to respond to these sorts of replies. I have used LLMs/Claude Code quite ex…

It's really not that much. It's a bit hard to make sense of it not because it's hard to keep track of, but because they are being deceptive and opaque about what you're actually bu…

They're actively trying to use lobbying power to make open weight models illegal. So I'm just not going to use their services at all anymore. I don't think they're a net gain if yo…

Tons. To pick the most recent example: I was asking about some allegations relating to the Epstein files, and it used the slogan "Satanic Panic" in a weird way that gave me a vibe …

LLMs are now being aggressively manipulated for propaganda purposes. Powerful people have realized that people believe LLMs, and treat them as authoritative sources of fact. The nu…

It's worse in many ways but also better in one way, which is that buried in all the propaganda and manipulation is usually the truth somewhere in there. Before, the truth was simpl…

If America had not been escalating with embargo pressure, the Bay of Pigs invasion, covert regime-change operations, and forward nuclear deployments near the USSR that made Moscow …

America isn't Ukraine, we are a *massive country with a nuclear deterrent,* wedged between two massive oceans and two friendly countries. Nobody is going to attack us unless we go …

We could also just not start wars and we wouldn't need to worry about missile production

No, I'm implying that people who maintain their own cars do it more efficiently. The simple stuff like cleaning has to be done by someone. It's not about doing a "worse job," it's …

I'm implying that drivers are more efficient at cleaning and maintaining, refueling, storing, repairing, and replacing their cars they own than the complex systems of personnel mai…

Not a valid analogy. At all.

Not comparable at all. Autonomous driving isn't obviously a viable business. It's not because computer programs can't drive well, it's because the and workforce infrastructure requ…

The huge disadvantage they have over people is that their cars cost $250k, require a workforce of people to retrieve and repair them, maintain them, clean them, monitor them, etc. …
