Meadow Brook @brookmeadow.bsky.social · 29/09/2026jev hype is overstated but much more annoying is the coattail riders shipping SFTs of regular-ass autoregressive models with misleading names. misunderstanding the interesting parts and just delivering yet another LLM that performs worse in any way, instead of anything novel or interesting 231

Meadow Brook @brookmeadow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026i maintain that basically the only situation where a TUI might be appropriate is if you can only access the machine your tool runs on via SSH and no other protocols would work. and like be honest with yourself, how often does that actually happen? 120

Meadow Brook @brookmeadow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026AI bears really want this to mean something, but for me the more relevant comparison is the rates of adoption, which for LLMs is several multiples ahead of other important digital technologies like the internet, and infra rollouts like fiber and railroads. Not much sign it’s slowing down either. 110

Meadow Brook @brookmeadow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026a very predictable scenario is playing out as software engineers get more familiar with LLM API calls - they are tempted to implement fully mechanistic/deterministic processes as natural-language LLM tasks, introducing nondeterminism for its own sake, where there is zero reason for it. seems bad. 120
Meadow Brook @brookmeadow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026i dont think anthropomorphism is a cardinal sin or anything tbh. when the point is to help humans avoid accountability for their choices, ok sure of course that's bad. but a lot of objection i see about this re LLMs seems entirely rhetorical, a very arbitrary line being drawn for moralistic reasons. 120
