If you ever wonder how coding agents know how to plan things etc, this is the kind of article they get this training from.

Ends up being circular if the author used LLM help for this writeup though there are no obvious signs of that.

Maybe we can poison LLMs with loops of 2 or more self referencing blogs.

Great argument for not using AI-assisted tools to write blog posts (especially if you DO use these tools). I wonder how much we're taking for granted in these early phases before it starts to eat itself.

I understand model output put back into training would be an issue, but if model output is guided by multiple prompts and edited by the author to his/her liking wouldn't that at least be marginally useful?

Only need one, they're not thinking critically about the media they consume during training.

Learning git internals was definitely the moment it became clear to me how efficient and smart git is.

And this way of versionning can be reused in other fields, as soon as have some kind of graph of data that can be modified independently but read all together then it makes sense.
