Maaaaan, while being unhealthy and manly(TM), must the guy eat more beef in one setting than I’ve eaten in the past year? It’s just so ugh for climate

Damn, that sucks :/ Why the delay? i have 2-3 weeks overlap with my prescription

The democratic party is absolutely pathetic and lacks any spine. How can anyone believe they car proudly represent their interests when they fold under zero pressure every time is beyond me.
Neither party deserves to have votes, but blah blah lesser evil, blah blah.
I still detest the dems.

It’s not that I didn’t learn about it anyway — but I wonder if there’s equivalents I’ve missed in other areas when it would have been useful.
“What good high-level decisions did I not make because I wasn’t aware of them?”
(It’s also a helpful concept to understand git!)

content-addressed storage is such a beautiful architectural pattern, and it gives one so many possibilities of things you can do with a system that is built on that foundation.
When I think back to software architecture classes, I wish those patterns had been taught, instead of solid and factories

It’s just as fine as Java now, but yeah, it still feels weird. But I‘ve been doing it since the mono days…

I love how friendly the city I live in (Karlsruh) is - just such a good and human-centric city. Tons of plazas, and they’re used in so many cool ways - there’s basically a street festival every second week.
Never saw that like that anywhere in the US :/

final thought: i guess it's like with bitcoin in like 2012, where i thought it's a neat idea! and now look at what crypto has become - scam, fraud, and crime
the tech may be neat and exciting, but nerds are so bad at judging impact it's annoying - and that includes myself

sorry if I'm a bit spammy here, it's a topic that i care about a lot, and I have many of things to yell into the void.
i know I can come off as condescending and like, i don't want to, but i also can't not talk about it.
i really should finish some video essays about this lol

I'm not defending LLMs - my feelings on the topic are overall negative, but also complicated.
I kinda wish I could love them, you know? They're fucking cool from a tech perspective. Like, I love the math, I love the network architecture, etc.
But I can't love them. Because the social impact sucks.

Instead, they're used to spam, to scam, to ruin the idea of art and artists, to threaten software developers with job loss if they don't obey. It's used to give summaries of things that we don't want, it's used to spy, to sow discontent, to manipulate emotions.
IMO that's the issue, not the tech.

Neuro-sama is fun - a LLM usecase I don't hate. I'm fine with a company using LLMs to sort documents, to help(!) with customer service*, and if you want some text translated, LLMs are great!
But that's not all they're used for. *That* sucks.
* a job that no human likes, for obvious reasons.

Like, one one hand, I've worked on LLM products before. On the other, I recently got told off by my boss for not using claude code, and *ugh*, I don't wanna.
My main opinion now is "LLMs aren't inherently bad, but inside the current system they're awful."

I don't want to come off as "defender of LLMs", in the end, if you gave me a button that nukes all LLMs from the world, I'd press it. 100% of the time, right this second.
But given that the things exist, I try to make an effort to understand the motivations. (1/?)

And you’re forgetting about opportunity cost - the time you spend to do sth that is marginally better than the LLM, is it worth it?
Because in that time I could do sth else, or I could use the money for the the artist I’d commission for sth I prefer.
Again, not saying “LLM good”, but “complicated”

I think it’s good enough, and like - humans are okay with output that sucks!
Like, junior devs write code that is in some ways* worse than LLMs, and people still hire them - for potential to become better, but also bad output >>> no output*
* nuanced, long discussion required for the statements

for example, if you want to see yourself drawn as anime figure*, you may not care about the lack of effort to get there, you just wanna go “hah, funny” and set it as profile picture. You don’t care.
That isn’t morally good, but like, That’s the reason
*my “me as anime” pfp is drawn by a friend btw
