    It's the usual responses isn't it: _'I'm saddened'_ or, _'what has happened to Britain'_. Had a look at America, Russia, or Belarus, etc.? Living in the UK is fantastic.

    Yes. I agree with most, if not all of this. For instance, I am seeing folks either relying in the LLM as an _assumed_ expert or, assuming someone - who knows the structure of skill…

    Wow. Wonderful post; best read this year so far. Lots of gold in this one. I like the way the author slowly undressed the - social media influenced - hype to reveal both Anthropic …

    The comments - helpfully - are great examples of the essence of what the article is attempting to communicate. Bravo!

    Genuinely surprised of the breath and level of interaction with this post. It would appear - perhaps we have data to back up? - a distinct _'flavour'_ of post are becomming dominan…

    Very well articulated for sure. But, I do think the word _'expert'_ always tends to do a lot of heavy lifting. What looks like _'expertise'_ may actually be pattern recognition bui…

    If the systems invariants are well defined, and a suite of conformance + requirements tests (ensuring invariance is respected) are defined, wouldn't this be a broad - _'base case'_…

    YouTube blog: _'...when creators disclose they've used AI tools.'_ I think this labeling strategy has an immediate issue.

    This is a lovely toy project. But please do not do this for real; imperfections - even minute imperfections - in data visualisations have consequences. 'Non-techy' people take for …

    It would appear rage has well and truly been bated. My word.

    That's an oppinion for sure, and a very shallow, general oppinion. Some people like solving problems, sometimes via code, while others tend to hide behind the 'Collaboration' banne…

    It is important, however, not intellectualise repugnant, racist, or inflamatory language; it deserves to be called out for what it is aimed at doing

    It does have the feel of a tactical crouch and hold position by Amazon. AI / LLM for the masses is still just a bet, and perhaps an overly invested bet

    Ideally, searching once for 'midjourney' would mean getting the url to directly access it time and again (and, create a bookmark). Perhaps the issue is more on the business model, …

    I adore Benn Jordan, a refreshing voice in music and tech. I hope Google pay him a public apology. Ultimately, this is exactly how innocent, private people will have their reputati…

    I've come to the same conclusion myself in the past 2 months (possibly driven by the AI / LLM age making me think even more in version control... writing those words make me wince)…

    That tutorial guy on YouTube, Derek Banas, swears by Anki. He's quite the voracious learner as well as being a pretty good contractor. I've used it myself (sparingly, when taking o…
