Me together built... doesn't make sense either

Or, you know... money

Just down vote and move on. You're helping them generate better slop by providing input like this

I'm surprised that (all) these models haven't been export controlled already. Relatively benign software like VMware is export controlled or even hobbyist radio projects have gotten hairy with ITAR.

But a model that can provide general information, research, or source code for most modern technology?

It is really unusual that this is the first notice of this

> There's good AI writing

Sure, but the LLM-isms in AI writing are mentally exhausting to see in every way at this point.

The whole point of reading, frankly, is to understand the voice of other people. When you pass that through a distorted filter that makes everyone sound the same... its bad, lossy, frustrating communication

It's also dishonest. When you publish something that is direct output without your wording. Digital catfishing at best.

The only good AI writing is providing the prompt, because the question is way more interesting, and way more constructive to learning than the answer

There is little chance your writing is as consistently the exact same as the default LLM output, which this definitely is.

The only case I would consider this being a misleading part of the statistic would be (1), and that type of usage is probably too rare to be significant.

Multitasking "while watching TV" is probably still harmful. Just focus on the task. For me personally, having the screen there has led to increased anxiousness and loss of my sense of time.

Watching TV with a friend is probably less harmful, but its still "just" sitting in front of that screen with little activity going on.

It does kind of depend what you're watching/listening to, but humans need extended time away from that constant stream of media regardless

Dp you have any source on that last part?

Not trying to citation needed you, but that claim is quite significant.

And it also increases the competition! Most of the giant tech companies aren't really making money by having X amount of software. They make their money by having software that is better than their competition, so they can get Y amount of users. But if your product's development is now simplified because AI can reproduce it, you still have to work harder to keep that competitive advantage

As someone who has poorer vision than average, pair programming in person as the observer is almost impossible. Id have to ask the driver constantly for clarification on what they typed or have them increase their text size to something that would be uncomfortable to them.

That's just to say its not always more effective

Texture is independent of taste

I mean, I didn't read it as a joke. Taking a rest can lead to a clearer ability to think... thereby being more productive, not less.

I was surprised because the writing _seemed_ focused and It at least credits what they copied from "nohello.com" ... but when you compare the 2 sites it becomes obvious that the AI was definitely prompted something like "make a copy of nohello.com but for people posting AI slop" and that's all the actual human thought that went into this. The structure is the same as the source and has just been LLM-ified so it kept some of the same source tone.

A free tier will almost always exist. Mostly for the reasons you already describe. That's a training ground for their small models as well as a way to get full access to new training data (and advertisements). As well as funnel new paying users. Why would you ever give that up?

I've never had a problem with direct translation... but the 3 paragraph choppy structure with subheadings full of AI-isms is not ESL users using it faithfully

Such a person can just make a new account and go back at it

You joke, but in a way this is the natural trajectory technology has been heading. AI has just increased the magnitude of it

Player-coaches are a real thing, but noticeable because of how rare and unusual they are. The problem is that the analogy doesn't even hold up in the source its referring to.

Sure, there are good player-coaches, but there are also great pure leaders. There are also very bad player-coaches. A coach who is trying too hard and too deep to be a player when they are less "fit" (or skilled) has historically led to many problems in many cases

Many major markets outside the US have much stronger work-life balance. Isn't that the takeaway?

But the exploits can use AI custom tools too. "Script Kiddie" is just now "Prompt Kiddie"

Although everyone might use their own flavor of "database" or "REST API", I can't imagine every layout to be unique enough to not have similar exploit classes entirely. AI isn't known for being super original after all...

Unfortunately that's when they started recording the data

The 3-year old anecdote is a bit pointless. It literally could have been a bad day. I've burnt myself out on a problem the night before and absolutely bombed simple interview questions, too. Or it just happened to be the least competent engineer at Meta. It doesn't give much information on their average employee, though

It's something that's really been worrying me these days. With AI creating literally floods of information, it's getting noisier and noisier.

Any fallout or monetary changes you could sue for, a company like Meta can probably pay for and still turn their huge profits. It seems like these companies do little to hide their shady actions at all.

The comment above is completely wrong, and Im not sure how they got that misconception unless it's an AI fabrication (although it doesnt read like AI)...

Turtle WoW had nothing rougelike about it at all. It was the normal classic WoW experience with added content. I suppose you could say it did a lot different from other roguelikes... because it wasn't one at all

While that answers their direct question, they do bring up a good point -- how often are you handing out less than 25% scores on exams? Id imagine any professor to do that to get some severe criticism that would make even a cheater pretty livid

[flagged]

Sure but is LinkedIn even a good place for that networking? Email feels way more productive (and personal) for that

They're boiling the frog pretty quickly, honestly. The token usage has clearly been an issue since using Claude code from the beginning. It just blows through tokens

Most social media is actively against that, feeding you recommendations to keep you on the platform.
