golang is great?
theredleft··on LLMs reward expertise
we are slowly punishing reading comprehension

this will have educational consequences (that I'm trying to solve). I don't think that we can adjust without rapid education and making extreme specialists of us all.

This requires coordination, certification, licensing, and other tiers of authenticity. False experts can ruin sample gathering, can ruin training. False expertise is exemplified by the current American Administration. Look at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; he's a false expert. He is responsible for the measles outbreak. He is responsible for ivermectin abuse by humans. False expertise is overtaking real expertise. And the results are continuously disastrous and large-scale.

brother read those numbers out loud

If I make $200k I do not have $400k off-balance gambling debt

theredleft··on Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
ask grok about the epstein files. ask gemini about the epstein files. ask them about obama's legacy as a war criminal and the reclassification of civilians as combatants to make drone striking weddings more palatable

unbelievable chauvinism in here

theredleft··on Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
do you think that China is some place devoid of business? it's the center of global commerce now. you're gravely mistaken if you think that Chinese models have "Chinese political ideology" baked into them

Grok literally had post work done to make it more right wing and racist.

sheer lunacy

theredleft··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
> the societal implications of being unable to prove land ownership

accidental communism

theredleft··on Building and shipping Mac and iOS apps without opening Xcode
I run my AI headless in a docker container and give it access to git – it can only contribute code - when it needs a secret I put it in a docker container in vault. when it needs infra, it makes me a jira ticket. that's my workflow.
theredleft··on GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse
which is a result of the United States and other western forces (Israel) weaponizing AI to create propaganda
theredleft··on ZCode: Claude Code from the Makers of GLM

theredleft··on Never Give Them Your Face
we programmatically created a system with implicit trust and now that trust is washing away. business logic should probably be guaranteed and have to pass a series of tests in order to provide expected service
theredleft··on Incident Report: May 19, 2026 – GCP Account Suspension
back to on-prem
theredleft··on Talking to strangers at the gym
I think you're right to have been uneasy at the title because it's so capitalist in the framing. "Win" friends sounds capitalist, while "influence people" sounds a lot like the vapid propaganda networks we interact with every day
theredleft··on The future of everything is lies, I guess: Work
cheers. I think you're doing a good job and ruffling some feathers here! Your content has been great.

I highly recommend reading Marx. Your content has related Marxist topics like the 'Fetishism of Commodities' (Software as Witchcraft) and the Labor Theory of Value.

theredleft··on Native Instant Space Switching on macOS
we are a certain type of people here, aren't we?
theredleft··on You are the scariest monster in the woods
this is because you didn't take liberal arts seriously
theredleft··on The "high-level CPU" challenge (2008)
Throwing in "a trail of tears" at the end is pretty ridiculous. It's just hardware.
theredleft··on Food, housing, & health care costs are a source of major stress for many people
All of the largest instituted famines were literally perpetrated by Fascist Capitalist societies... I think it's interesting how much agitprop westerners swallow and think it's sugar.
theredleft··on Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?
Turning into? It already is. I wish I had a hedge fund to direct towards shorting AI-driven companies.
theredleft··on Food, housing, & health care costs are a source of major stress for many people
socialism could help us here.
