I think we're going to see an ongoing level of AI-enabled crapification for coding and especially for spam. I'm guessing there's going to be enough money from the spam markets to support a level of continued development to keep up to date with new languages and whatever paradigms are in vogue, so vibe coding is probably going to stick around on some level, but I doubt we're going to see major pushes.

One thing that this has shown is how much of internet content "creation" and "communication" is done entirely for its own sake or to satisfy some kind of algorithm or metric. If nobody cares whether it actually gets read then it makes economic sense to automate the writing as much as possible, and apparently LLMs represent a "good enough" ability to do that for plausible deniability and staving off existential dread in the email mines.

I don't know, I think we're just talking about using AI to make the government more efficient, which is basically just the stated policy goal at this point.

How did the last round of manifest destiny work out for anyone who already lived in that "new" land again?

The fact that it appears to be trying to create a symbolic representation of the problem is interesting, since that's the closest I've ever seen this come to actually trying to model something rather than just spewing raw text, but the model itself looks nonsensical, especially for such a simple problem.

Did you use any of that kind of notation in the prompt? Or did some poor squadron of task workers write out a few thousand examples of this notation for river crossing problems in an attempt to give it an internal structure?

Screw that quantum crap, what we really need is good old fashioned augury. Who wants to shell out for some sheep entrails?

I wouldn't think that our poking and prodding is sufficient to actually impact usage metrics, and even if it is I don't think diz is using a paid version (not that even the "pro" offerings are actually profitable per query) so at most we're hastening the financial death spiral.

Besides, they've shown an ability to force the narrative of their choosing onto basically any data in order to keep pulling in the new investor money that's driven this bubble well beyond any sensible assessment of the market's demand for it.

Now hang on how many of those conquests were for actual land grab reasons and how many were because they expected people to take issue with starting massive offensive wars for land grab reasons, especially what with the declared intent to ethnically cleanse at least all of Eastern Europe. That's definitely distinct from planning world conquest, right?

I mean the left has been mostly absent from America in general since at least the Reagan years, so it's not all that surprising.

If Democrats win the midterm I think they get to shave her head.

I hate you so much for the word "overtonussy".

Slather us in steak sauce and serve with a baked fucking potato because we are so cooked.

It's the front-end of the hype cycle. The tech-debt problems will come home to roost in a year or two. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

This is the most VC-pilled possible response to people talking about the difficulties of actually working with LLMs. Who cares about the people who actually have to use this crap, think about what it could mean for Number!

 

I don't have much to add here, but I know when she started writing about the specifics of what Democrats are worried about being targeted for their "political views" my mind immediately jumped to members of my family who are gender non-conforming or trans. Of course, the more specific you get about any of those concerns the easier it is to see that crypto doesn't actually solve the problem and in fact makes it much worse.
