For Caude Code, Antigrav, etc, do people really just let an LLM loose on their own personal system? I feel like these should run in a cloud enviroment, or at least on some specific machine where I don't care what it does.

Both Antigravity and Claude Code ask for permission before running terminal commands.

Is it impossible for them to mess up your system? No. But it does not seem likely.

But holy shit is it also a funding issue when teachers make nothing.

I date a lot of teachers. My last one was in the San Ramon (CA) Valley School district, she makes about $90k a year at 34 years old. Talking to her basically makes me want to homeschool my kids to make sure someone like her isn't their teacher. Paying teachers more won't do ANYTHING until we become a lot more selective about who gets to become and stay a teacher. It can't be like most government jobs where getting it…

I guess the problem isn't only the pay, it's the opportunity cost which only a certain kind of people are willing to pay for the whole career. If you select those people out... you're left with zero candidates.

The earth is flat until you have evidence of the contrary. It's you who should provide that evidence. We had physics, navigation and then space shuttles that clearly showed the earth is not flat. We are yet to have a fully vibe-coded piece of software that actually works. The blog post is actually great because LLMs are very good are regurgitating pieces of code that already exist on a single prompt. Now ask them to…

>You can't be both a genius and extremely dumb (retarded)

That’s actually a classic stereotype, someone being a genius in some area, but failing with the most basic social expectations in other area.

> Remember 54% of US adults read at or below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level. The sane conclusion would be to invest in education, not to dump hundreds of billions of llms, but ok

Education funding is highest in places that have the worst results. Try again.

Yes for example is its very well known that Angola has a top tier education system while Swedish people can barely read or count

They always show you the part that is impressive - "it walked the tricky tightrope of figuring out what might be an interesting topic and how to execute it with the data it had - one of the hardest things to teach."

Thanks for introducing me this article

Stochastic parrot? Autocomplete on steroids? Fancy autocorrect? Bullshit generator? AI snake oil? Statistical mimicry? You don't hear that anymore. Feels like whole generation of skeptics evaporated.

I certainly hold those opinions still, because the models still have yet to prove they are anything worth a person's time. I don't bother posting that because there's no way an AI hype person and I are ever going to convince each other, so what's the point? The skeptics haven't evaporated, they just aren't bothering to try to talk to you any more because they don't think there's value in it.

So you don't even try LLMs regularly?

And whats with everything else regarding ML progress like image generation, 3d world generation etc.?

I vibe coded plenty of small things i haven't ever had the time for them. You don't have anything which you wanted to do and can fit in a single page html application? It can even use local storage etc.

In the LLM's case it's both a genius and extremely dumb at coding. The same area.
