A grinning, heroic man in a bold red shirt and mustard jacket punches the air triumphantly as he marches at the head of a jubilant crowd. Radiant orange rays burst behind him like a rising sun, casting the scene in revolutionary warmth. The slogan blares across the top and bottom in urgent block letters: “Not just part of the problem — Part of the meta-problem.” It’s vintage propaganda with a postmodern smirk.

Ooo that would be cool

No, I was musing last night, but it was just idle thoughts

💯They are handling it exactly the way they’ve been told to 😞

I think it’s a vortex into which we are all being pulled

Like, I’ve never signed in to a SaaS outside of work just to see what it does

Yeah they always *say* that, and then licenses are $2000 a seat because they want that corporate cash 🤣

I honestly believe this one is significantly different though. Even OpenAI in its first release thought the thing was going to be a research tool, and had to scramble to keep up with the demand

I know, I have the exact same impulses so I’ve developed that as a sort of litany 🤣

Yeah it’s weird how backwards it all is

Like, despite the will of the capitalist overlords, language models haven’t resulted in sweeping organization changes

It’s still individuals having the things churn out emails and reports

Totally backwards from history

Interesting

I’ve said for years “90% of my code looks like it came straight from ‘Learn Java in 90 Days.’ I want it to be simple. The other 10% is where I make the big bucks”

Your goal is a very interesting twist on that

one of the things about the AI water issue that drives me batshit is the way in which it demonstrates people (many of whom are arguing they understand reasoning better than the other side) don't understand how argument flow works
