I sometimes think about how if open source had never happened at scale, and all LLMs had to train on was proprietary code, how different things might look right now. Breaks my heart; sharing code openly has been a huge part of my life and belief system for so long, and I was so convinced that the good that it did outweighed the bad actors taking advantage. I never imagined that the bad actors would win by automating their behaviour

The myth of “AI” is that you can use it to offload lower function mental activity in order to free up higher function. But this assumes that that higher function of thought can operate without the lower to support it, which is in pretty much direct contradiction of all philosophy of mind.

I just removed huge chunks of code and several files from my project because, after thinking about it and looking at the problem in a different way, I have found a much more concise and elegant way of doing the same thing.

It's one of the best feelings I know and, when it happens, it's a day-long high. And it's very self-validating.

I don't use AI because, on top of everything else that's incredibly problematic with it, it deprives me of that feeling.
