I just realised why I find AI enthusiasts so repulsive. I was already aware of how rude it is for someone to share the output from an LLM. Someone sharing an opinion they formed based on such an interaction, I realised is as repugnant, if not more.

Or to put it in a different way: “I couldn’t form my own opinion on the matter. So I shook a magic 8 cube a bunch of times, and the ‘conversation’ we had, is something I think is worth while for others to hear”.

I’m not sure if you’re suggesting to use LLMs to review bad PRs, or that the author should redo them. Latter, for sure. Former, sounds horrible.

Is this science news? I’m not asking to be nice. News from USA is such a shitfest, and it sucks when it spreads.

Threat to mathematics, in the same say way as the threat to software? Noise machines (aka bullsit generators) are destroying voluntary work (open source contributions / peer reviews) because of the marked decrease in signal to noise?

Or, in the “LLMs will do math better than humans”?

I wonder why the distinction isn’t better made. The bubble sure wants to pretend it’s the latter.

In 20 years of using Linux, I’ve only had a broken Linux four times. Four of those times, it was because of Windows being shit.

That part threw me off. Last time i used it, I did incremental backups of a 500 gig disk once a week or so, and it took 20 seconds max.

Having used pixel phones as long as they’ve been around, and used some AOSP based OS, I cannot imagine what it would be to not be able to block network access on a per-application basis.

Calculator app? No, you don’t need to read my contacts or network access to ship it to God knows who. Keyboard app that is an ipso keylogger, also no. Launcher, no… Image gallery? Fuck off.

I trust companies to do the wrong thing, always. They all sell your data. If they ever get caught, the punishment will be less than what they made by it, so why wouldn’t they.

Considering that FFI is very much a thing, I’m finding it difficulty to understand the point it’s trying to make.
