i hate being civil!
i either ignore. or if i trust them i just say “don’t use ai slop”.
anything softer is passive and morally judgy too.
i’m not here to tell them what’s globally right, only how i want them to interact with me.
any kind of softness in language like “i’ll-considered” sounds so sterile that i sense hatred underneath. too much time in big companies.
more sharing a crazy person take on how different words can be interpreted counter to the intent.
that’s direct and aggressive.
framing it as advice is the passive part.
in LLM terms low to no reasoning is better than ultra.
it trains people to expect things.
boundaries.
ultimately it’s better to not inform and start ignoring these people.
let natural selection work.
imagine a world where SBF didn’t defraud the crypto world.
in that world anthropic may have not existed.
probably someone has.
i’m not beyond being fooled, but when there’s voice there’s a human.
this is especially true with certain types of awkward phrasings that LLMs love to correct but humans don’t.
one day my internal filter will fail, but not today.
employees will always suffer.
personally i find this offensive and would disqualify the candidate.
the ai making assumptions can’t get it right
it’s the only way they learn
as we grow we change
that is life
lots of things i cared deeply about 10 years ago that i don’t even remember now
i find self loathing a previous version of yourself to be a by product of religious thinking
yes the original sin is that you were born but for now you can enjoy your life do so
counterfactuals are hard
if anything it makes the world more dangerous
a reckoning is coming
the top decile will be janitors for the rest
this is only getting worse with ai.
all the artifacts of good work are there but none of the depth.
we all need to do something
standards are good but they slow development and experimentation
if you are young there’s still hope that you can change your mindset and approach though.
if software can save time and make money than human capital then there will be demand.
when i’m working i find retired people boring
when im taking 6+ month break i find the nervous energy of employed people annoying
ultimately, comfort comes from being around like minded people
then again seeking comfort rings hollow to me, even though it’s quite enjoyable in the moment.
greater chance something will if we take more swings
we don’t complain that the per unit cost at target is higher than at costco
