They musta SloppedIt

Calculated.

It’s been this bad for a little while, iirc have seen a few of these pop up over the last few years. And that’s just for the few someone’s caught/documented

Why do you believe that?

Why do you ask?

Here’s what chatgpt could elucidate for you if it helps: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_6a132f9152ec81918cd7fd9814a63ba9

I think plenty is fairly wonderful as well, in case it doesn’t go without saying.

Like many things that involve craft, if done right it’s great. If not done with care, broadly speaking the outcome is worse than not using it.

Why do people generally love AI?

Good luck with whatever you’re after.

Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur

There’s a lot one could try and point to.

Do you really have no idea? Do you not find valid some disdain for such technology?

Surely you appreciate our lack of free will, and how I have no choice but to leave this comment in the void as a sticker for the both of us to have as a token nod to such an existence.

One important facet of this is it’s not far from “giving unlimited juniors unlimited time…”

Where the limits are set by hardware for agentic execution (compute/network/storage) && inference speed

“Cursive knowledge”, as an old boss told me. Was incredibly ironic when he leaned into my misunderstanding.

Sounds necessary given they must to meet some utilization quota or risk termination.

Kinda like how cobras were bred once there was an incentive to turn in their heads lol

Those of us trying to keep the soul in it seem to be losing the fight, if not lost already.

Do all roads lead to Rome? When will the snake finish eating its tail?

Ah, the good ol Inter Continental Business Machines

GitHub trending is one that comes to mind

If 80% is “done by the AI”, who is responsible for the certain failure on behalf of the AI? Given inference often is, >0%, wrong — in a word… hmm.

How many 9s until you’re comfortable? Even then, knowing 1000 tasks could likely have at least 1 foundational issue… how do you audit? “Pretty please do the needful” and have another “please ensure they do the needful”. Do you review the 1000 inputs/outputs processed? Don’t get me wrong, am familiar with the “send it” ethos all too well, but at-scale it seems like quite the pickle.

Genuinely curious how most people consider these angles… was tasked with building a model once to perform what literally could’ve otherwise been a SQL query… when I brought this up, it was met with “well we need to do it with AI” I don’t think a humans gonna want to find that needle in a haystack when 100,000 significant documents are originated… but I don’t have to worry about that one anymore thank goodness.

Spooky, this is not exposure if using Linux?

This connects some many sparse dots on the map for me. Finishing it right now, thank you for commenting w the link. What a perspective, and well-written parable to communicate it.

Anyone have any thoughts on this path if using macOS? Been using it, seems to do the trick pretty well out of the box.

You're totally right! It's not steering systems -- it's cooking, apparently

Hear hear

It is a mindset thing insofar as my opinion is that there are more interesting things to practice with, sure. Grindy endeavors aren’t bad, just grindy. Given how much of the practical application side of that practice is handled by libs/pkgs @ runtime for a lot of product dev I’ve been involved with, it can seem a bit much. It isn’t so black and white of course, but this is just an off the cuff musing. I miss whiteboarding sessions, and I feel like the lc grind does a disservice to both sides of the hiring table in a lot of cases. Sure, “what’s a better alternative at scale” comes to mind, but I’ll digress lol

Are lc problems puzzles? Could see p.e. being close to that but lc has always felt so much more grindy and less creative.

Merry christmas

I bet

Ah, to have any real amount of time to work on something. Sounds surreal.

Have you seen/used the webGPU spaces?

eta: its predecessor was using webGL

Oh and get sunlight. Morning and evening walks every day for me made a night and day difference. Not to trivialize burnout or depression. It is a… fickle thing, passion.

Take care of your bag of meat: sleep, eat, sweat with regularity and sufficient amounts. Socialize productively. Isolate productively. What does that mean? Talk with someone who you know/knows you. About whatever. Spend time alone doing comforting things that are not exciting as much as relaxing. Get bored. Don’t run away from yourself. Rather, return.

I imagine Schumpeter would be proud

Could customize the user call out

Maybe something like “I know this is the opposite of socializing but I want to give in the the mindless algorithmic manipulation for a little longer anyways”

Llama 2 eh? Why?

One of our users, who lived in a house, had their internet provider cancel their contract due to enormous traffic generated during a month. It was extremely problematic as there was no other internet provider available around.

so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
