qwertyforceon AI is removing the middle class of software engineering

I think the worst part is that some companies may be okay with it. They will pay attention only when it's messed up beyond repair. And it’s possible that fixing it will be a task for more advanced models, not humans. Do they win or lose at the end of this martingale? I am not sure

qwertyforceon The Rise of the Bullshittery

I blame the ML engineers who work on these recommendation systems. They chase simplistic objectives like CTR, time spent, and so on, which can be gamed by this kind of content. This creates huge positive feedback loops in which popular content becomes even more popular and forms “metas,” while models train on clickstream data they themselves have influenced. They could try to fix this, but they won’t, because no one is asking them to

qwertyforceon Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out

yep, this is the only moat they will have against chinese AI labs

qwertyforceon Forecasting the Death of StackOverflow

That is a great question. IMO, major LLM players currently have a large enough user base to generate training data from their users (questions and user provided answers, corrections, etc). So, if StackOverflow dies, it will become harder to keep up with closed source models

qwertyforceon Tell HN: Google search sucks even more during Reddit blackout

Yep. Most of my google queries are prepended with "reddit" or "stackexchange". I particularly like stackexchange, lots of useful information there.

qwertyforceon Thousands of subreddits pledge to go dark after the Reddit CEO’s recent remarks

That's why people should consider hacktivism (at least DDoS)

qwertyforceon Automatic Image Mining

highlight.js is for syntax highlighting (code looks pretty). I've just checked, in Chrome site works with js disabled

qwertyforceon Automatic Image Mining

Thanks for clicking! Clicking 'use IPFS' makes all the images point to the local IPFS gateway on 127.0.0.1:8080, so browser can get the images from people who pin (distribute) them, like in a bittorrent. But even if you installed it, it wouldn't work because currently I don't pin image files on IPFS. IPFS daemon consumes a lot of ram and cpu resources, so I decided to shut it down.

web 3.0 - decentralized communities worshiping their own AI gods (content generators)

qwertyforceon We could stumble into AI catastrophe

I've also read somewhere about AI feedback loops:

ai generates content <--money--> ai pushes ads to promote its content.

It's somewhat already happening: recommendation algorithms choose what content we consume, analytics make decisions from this data and make more content that recommendation algorithms like. AI HFT bots can directly influence economy and so on
