You all should read this fantastic post by @onepict about how, largely, AI people just can't leave us the fuck alone. But I'm noticing more and more and more that they get super mad when they wanna shove their #AI creation at you and you simply say, no thanks. That's it. No extra bashing, just, no thanks, and they get super offended. https://dotart.blog/cobbles/ai-and-that-guy-at-the-bar #AIHype #LLM

AI and that Guy at the bar

In tech we've always had evangelists, weither it's for FOSS, or Blockchain or now AI. It's a natural thing to do. You have a tech you'r...

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5

@stroughtonsmith @seejy I have high respect for your work, but the examples you build are such low-risk things, aren't they? A color palette app. An offline game.
What about authentication and managing user data? Or payments? Would you still say "why bother going in there" until the critical emergency occurred? Let's say it even gets 95% correct, what about the 5% where user data is leaked. The undefined edge cases where payments fail?
Sounds like a nightmare to me. 🦇

I've used platforms such as this to find and follow people that I thought to be the best in their craft (programming), that cared about their implementation and are very intentional in their work. I guess I somewhat aspired to be them in my work.

It's mind boggling to me, to what conclusions some of them came this week, comparing LLM-written code to compiler generated bytecode. Just in a single week, standards lowered, complete resignation.

Never meet your hero's I guess.
