lol my friend said to me that the ai coding tools are like if you got into being an accountant because you really liked doing math by hand and then the calculator came out and it's like well cool i guess i'm technically more productive but i don't get to do the thing i enjoyed anymore
i really dislike using any of these ai coding tools because it takes the enjoyment of the work out of it for me (particularly stuff like cursor or copilot), so i just don't use them. they are super useful for this stuff tho
can i have a like...global claude.md?

wishing the google AI summary didn’t exist
The google AI summary of my most famous piece of writing--a thousand word blog post--misunderstands it on a fundamental level. In doing so, it reproduces the way critical yet lazy scholars misunderstood it, by reading the title and filling in what they thought was the most likely meaning.
Are you citing things you have not read?
Knowing that LLMs are text-generation machines, not text-analysis machines, that's more than a bit irresponsible and suspect.

I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.”
Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”
