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.

Have you also looked at the rest 1h 36m or just those out of context 30s?

You need a different analysis. Maybe more like this https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/te... Or this: > While U.S. teachers make 58% of their counterparts’ salaries, Finnish teachers make 92% of the salaries of similarly educated professions. This trend follows with other countries ranked highly in the World Happiness Report. Teachers in Denmark (ranked #2 in World Happiness) make 81% of their…

I mean, I don't deny that teachers are paid less compared to other fields, but that is actually pretty universal among occupations that provide the worker with a higher sense of purpose. You can see the same thing in social work, the non profit sector and elsewhere. Whether that's truly just is an entirely different question than 'is there a direct relationship between teacher pay and student achievement' and looking…

> Everybody should be as unhappy as me

I'm not from the US and I think that attitude is fucked up. You'll get your wish -- the US has been steadily dropping on the lists of "World's Happiest Countries"[1]. But luckily I don't need to do anything. Nature will teach you what a simple text box cannot. Eventually you guys will ruin all your important institutions & become deeply unhappy & hit rock bottom & start meditating or something.

[1] https://data.worldhappiness.report/chart -- Fit a line and you can extrapolate by ~2030 China will be a better place to live. That's really not that far away. That attitude is not "universal".

god you are so annoying. the site that you posted doesn't even work. so wtf are you even gloating about.

We're living in such interesting times - you can talk to a computer and it works, in many cases at extraordinary level - yet you still see intellectually constipated opinions arguing against basic facts established years ago - incredible.

atleast you are self aware

did you not run into this problem described by ilya below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR20FWCCjAs&list=PLd7-bHaQwn... this has been my experience purely vibecoding. i am surprised it works well for others. btw the current production bug. how did you discover that and why it slip out. looks like site wasn't working at all when you posted that comment?

> did you not run into this problem described by ilya below I used to run into a related issue, where fixing a bug would add more bugs, to the point where it would not be able to progress past a given codebase complexity. However, Codex is much better at not doing that. There are some cases where the model kept going back and forth between two bugs, but I discovered that that was because I had misunderstood the const…

ok looks like you are intimately familiar with the code that is being produced and are AI as code generator rather than pure vibe coding. That makes sense to me.

Btw did AI add that line when you explained what the error was or did you add that in manually.

No, I paste the trace back, ask it to explain the error, judge whether it makes sense, and either ask it to fix it or say "that makes no sense, please look again/change the fix/etc".

Specifically here, the AI added that line.

That's interesting b/c I see it very obviously in mine with the partial exception of myself. The more professional and private sector their job or spouse, the more conservative they are. E.g a real estate lawyer is conservative, a lawyer for the state is liberal, a software engineer is a communist, and the musicians are libertarians or socialist-lite. Professional or artisanal work are petit bourgeois positions, so a…

I have rural farmers and truck drivers in my extended family. That stereotype is low income + conservative.

If they own their own land or equipment it makes more sense. It's their relationship to production that is the driving force, but if they are not self-employed and don't own their own equipment it is a little more of an interesting situation.

It has been interesting experience, like trolling but you actually believe what you're saying. I wonder how you arrived at it - is it fear, insecurity, ignorance, feelings of injustice or maybe something else? I wonder what bothers you about LLMs?

Yes, you should try to use rational thinking, it will help you with better judgements of reality.
