A Timehop reminder of a meme I modified 7 years ago. It’s an illustration of a metronome that shows the rod at each end, with arrows demonstrating motion. At one end the caption is “should designers code?” and at the other end, “is css a programming language”

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Why is everything so transparently evil now?

"Print books from the pre-LLM era are structurally guaranteed to be free of this contamination. That alone is a significant advantage," it explains in an article on its website, as quoted by
404. "Physical books published before this date [pre-2022] are structurally clean of modern poisoning tools."
Once focused on helping libraries, distributors, and book shops find and sell books, ISBNdb now helps Al companies bulk-buy anywhere between 1,000 to one million books per order, according to 404.

As I said, agree with the underlying idea, but I'm not sure that toxic generalizations are fine as long as they are ad-populum instead of ad-personam. Insulting a collective group is still verbal hostility; you also used 'normies' for whoever upvoted it (and I'm not the only one noticing it)

Santiago Greco @fsg.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

While agreeing with the underlying idea, I find it a bit ironic that you are using toxic generalizations ("lame humanity") to complain about verbal violence

Using natural language prompting almost certainly makes LLMs a) need to be larger than they could be, b) less efficient and reliable than they could be, and c) much harder to use than they could be.

This is going to be the big “find out.” The hard part of producing good software that does useful things is getting real clarity on what those useful things are. Coding forces dimension reduction because its language is so primitive. Without that back pressure, we get slop.

Santiago Greco @fsg.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

That's why in order to use an LLM with success you need to apply the same diligence you have for programming, and on top of that you should find specific terms and avoid ambiguous ones (something a programming language already does for you).

Santiago Greco @fsg.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Think about it: for writing instructions it's better to have fewer words and verbs at your disposal, that's what makes coding capable of being deterministic, in other words that's programming. And it's not going away with LLM's, it's actually more tedious to avoid natural language humongous choices

Santiago Greco @fsg.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Having a linguistics background I think there's a huge misconception when it comes to prompting LLM's, the vast majority thinks that coding is "hard" compared with speaking a natural language. Well it's actually the contrary from a utilitarian POV less verbs at your disposal => easier to be specific

unfortunately this is already happening :/ and the worst part is that people is learning arbitrary class names instead of standard property names. It's Bootstrap all over again (but this time atomic and specific, at least bootstrap have few general semantic coherent class names)

How many times do we have to remind people: the chatbot *cannot* admit to *anything*. It *doesn't know*. When you ask it about itself, it generates its answer the same way it generates your request that it write an email. It takes what you tell it and responds in way to sound plausible.
