Again, journalists, what are you doing?👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 The most mind blowing thing about these people is that they are so out in the open with their eugenics & predatory cults. Epstein wasn't as out in the open (at least from what I see now). Everything is right there for you to expose them once & for all!

Acho que faz sentido se forem duas pessoas interagindo com um LLM.

Realmente não sei como era sua prática, mas na definição de pair programming com que eu trabalhava nunca sairiam mais do que 10 linhas de código (chutei o 10 aí) de um lado do par sem que o outro lado do par desse algum feedback. Pela sua descrição, imagino que isso aconteça com um LLM

Independente do ponto levantado pelo @ramalho.org, com o qual concordo, acho que é bem diferente de pair programming. Pela granularidade e pela iniciativa, por ex. Sei que é fácil comparar com algo que já existe e que tem "boa fama", mas precisamos de outro nome.

Bluesky's head of trust and safety runs all replies through an LLM to decide who to block which leads to him creating a perfect sycophantic bubble for himself. Someone really does not understand his job. Bluesky Corp is a clown show.

The person's justification was something along the lines that richer students pay by subscription and poorer students don't. A chatbot paid for by the university would minimize differences.

I asked this because I heard from someone at a university (not in the US) who is thinking about ways to provide a chatbot for their students, as not everyone can afford US company chatbots.
