Yep, that's impossible. The hard truth is that most people this lost to LLM psychosis cannot understand that fact. It's better to treat it like someone in a cult, arguing the facts…

You're arguing semantics, but I think that expanding your definition of intelligence to include ant colonies and weather systems is going to make it completely useless to say anyth…

I have met many programmers throughout my career, and very few of them want to talk to stakeholders, much less customers (exceptions are freelancers and founders, especially of sof…

In decades to come we view "chatbot" AI as one of the most dangerous inventions of this century. Once regulation catches up and they are outlawed, we'll look back on this period of…

If you believe that an LLM can understand and make judgements then you have fundamentally misunderstood what an LLM is. I'd strongly suggest you read up on the internals.

LLMs do not have goals and cannot understand. Please don't anthropomorphize.

It explained something to me today. So your point is disproven. No. It produced a statistically likely answer. What is intelligence then if not explaining things. "the ability to l…

Your LLM is not "smart" and it cannot "explain", it is a program that can output a statistically average text of an explanation. Don't mistake the capabilities of these models for …

I'm sure forcing workers to use the chatbot that drives people to suicide is going to go great yeah.

I suspect there's going to be some good people who leave, not wanting to participate in that sort of dialogue What "sort of dialogue" are you referring to?

To be blunt, I think you may have misunderstood the values to begin with. A motion being passed by a majority is a lagging indicator to the values of the membership, so if they cha…

Flippant maybe, but not bait. AI is many things, and a moral choice is one of them. Codeberg's stance isn't a moral one as much as a technical one, but there is a very strong argum…

I'm faced with the question on whether all my investment can go up in flames on the whims of a shadow group. What "shadow group" would that be? The paying members of Codeberg e.V. …

Why do people keep doing OpenAI's marketing for them? There will inevitably be some people who dismiss this story as a dishonest marketing trick by OpenAI to make their models soun…

Except that it's true. It feels good to use them, to feel productive, and that is addictive. That's the hard truth: Vibe coders are addicted to using LLMs. You're going to reject t…

Writing code helps me think. Every time I read some take about keeping up one's skills when using agents people get so tantalisingly close to the obvious answer, and then fall shor…

The faster you realize this will never pop, the faster you realize that you too can make money in the biggest gold rush in human history. Hey, yeah, quick question. How did the his…

"When it comes to a field I'm not an expert in, AI is a great tool." Every time.

No. If anything I’m understating the risk.

What you're building should be illegal. Educators who use these tools on children should face jail time. It's hard to overstate the harm of the system you are building. Please unde…

I don’t think “I know plenty of people who commit fraud anyway so who cares if it’s right” is the ringing endorsement of AI you think it is.

> I think close to 100% of new ambitious projects are going to leverage AI at least to some degree. Once the free money dries up that number will rapidly tend towards 0%. > So how …

That "nearly" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting. It doesn't matter if your AI model is 99% or 99.99% accurate. For a tax return it has to be perfect every time or someone is a…

Ironically it is you who is most at risk from the direction this is taking. When this house of cards collapses, AI research dries up, and companies pivot to the next hype cycle the…
