Baldur BjarnasonI try to keep track of what’s going on among those who use LLMs for coding but they all keep linking Steve Yegge and I just can’t take anybody who links to Steve “gas town” Yegge seriously.
He’s the opposite of convincing.
To those who aren’t “AI”-pilled, Steve Yegge on anything related to LLM coding makes about as much sense as the Roko’s Basilisk nonsense. If you want to be convincing to outsiders you need to stop citing what are effectively “AI” catechisms
Steve Yegge is so bad that whenever I want to convince somebody on the fence on ”AI” that the biggest LLM boosters all seem to be having serious mental health episodes, I send them a link to one of his posts. Works every time.
Mason Loring Bliss@baldur I hadn't encountered that concept before.

Strikes me as being equivalent to the argument that we're living in a simulation.
All of this *is* a religion to the ideas' adherents.
