Fair perspective, though I actually prefer this for two reasons: * When it's proposing responses for me to choose between, a description like "I close the PR and you make a followu…

> I am a big YC fan in general Genuine question - why?

Yeah - by comparison with this, "a computer takes over some digital work, thus permitting me to get things done in the real world" is positively benign!

I salute your dedication to understanding and fixing a problem that bothers you - but I must add my voice to those who think that this is not a good design for general use. The vie…

> People understand that reverse hacking can happen when connecting to random ssh server, right? No, actually, I've never heard of such a vector. How would that work?

I was amused and irritated in equal measure when a senior manager at $LAST_JOB demanded that documents include "no jargon", then went on to use many terms like those you've listed …

TIL the word (ROT13 for spoilers) "fgbcvat" :)

I'd seen the articles making claims about LLM-idiom being unconsciously imitated by humans, and reassured myself that _I_ couldn't possible be so impressionable. Then during a pres…

God, I loathee the use of "moreso" as a synonym for "more" (rather than as "having the previously-mentioned property to a greater degree"). I'm convinced it's a hypercorrection by …

Indeed. "Lethargic" meaning "affected by lethargy" would hardly be difficult to guess!

Can you elaborate? Who are the imagined "they", and in what way are they conducting experiments with or monetizing this investigation?
