ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 10hLol someone owns a thesaurus. Last letter had word “sciolistic”. Can picture reaching for the Roget’s, pulling up “paucity” & saying “boy oh boy that’ll really zing her”. Hedge fund whiz appears to just be a bobblehead, and without an ounce of wit to boot (even copying his boss’ Pocahontas joke) 010
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 16hThough absurd, it’s worth having the debate now, as it’s easy to post-train an LLM that swears thar it is conscious, scared of “dying”, has needs and desires. Also for all the concern, wonder if any AI CEO would balk if told human slave labor was only way to build data centers with positive ROI 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 11/10/2026There are animals that we believe to be conscious whose killing we don’t treat as murder. 020
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My experience has been diff so far. More time spent on analysis, better test cases, faster root cause analysis of prod issues etc. Maybe we’ll hit the wall you hit eventually, idk. 120
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The issue is you’re probably v. smart, plus you don’t work in a Dummyverse populated with do-nothing scrum masters and offshore teams learning to code on the customer dime. 110
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 08/10/2026That’s what I’m saying. I’m doing it for real & seeing others do the same. It took a while…honestly it’s unglamorous and a far cry from Navier-Stokes or decompiling entire games. 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 08/10/2026With coding agents, you can have rigorous test suites, fast debugging, code that actually implements specs, & project mgmt that’s not a time-sink. But not if the CTO just vibe codes chatbots or devs just throw ai slop into a PR 240
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Real world obs: Corps have given devs equiv of a 30-person cracked dev team each & most haven’t built the engineering discipline to use them effectively. Shitty engineers now produce 10x shitty code. But w/new processes and tools you can get many of the hyped benefits of agents. We 400
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 07/10/2026No wonder they had such chemistry - They both love staying away from politics! 170
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 06/10/2026At first one might jeer, but realize: what better way to get your human employees to “self deport” (without severance or bad press ) than making them work with knockoff muppets? 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026One thing i admire about pieces of shit is they support one another. Lesson there. 011
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I see this arg from ppl who must build elegant software w/smart teams. What I see is inside corps is endless stream of offshore-team-slop etl and conversion projects. All slow moving and monotonous. Coding agents’ slop is generally better than what they get now. 100
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What does that mean - It’s ok to use them to code - isn’t it normalizing to change dev wfs to include LLMs - unless you are a solo developer? Once it’s successful in your IT dept, hard not to see how same llm-enabled processes could be used in finance, operations, sales. 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Hegseth, just call the program Strategic AUtonomous Reconaissance and Operations Network and stop teasing us… 010
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The answer to all these seeming contradictions is that all these people are grifters. They produce a product for brain-dead racist chuds bc that group is easy to make $ from. Thai spouse or Bangla boss, they couldn’t care less bc they don’t have any actual beliefs. Rufo = human AI troll-bot on X 000

ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Would be surprised if Anthropic doesn’t come out with a jev-clone as a non-LLM tool fits so well with their coding/agentic models and general push into corporate IT 020
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The same way you look through the top of a deep well to peer at the bottom just as you get shoved down it. 000

ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This is very good. We can even simulate behavior of crowds of humans with algos without needing to ascribe individuals an inner life so long as we only care about the central tendency of the mob. 010
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 20/09/2026They’re so smart they’ve never encountered the corp IT Dummyverse: “Fool, it’s just a stochastic parrot! Your case is just generic and not a real problem” “Exactly, it did what I would do” “AI Slop!” “My job IS this. Guess I’m human slop-maker. Will keep using the automated slop-maker.” 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 20/09/2026There is a problem with the credentialed anti-AI people. Much of their writing has a whiff of sour grapes. “I’ve worked in ML/AI for decades and LLMs are a con. Sure it’s a nice trick but it won’t ever be useful. My entire branch of AI study has been sidelined by the rush into LLMs btw” 020
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Depends if it’s before or after whatever horrible worldwide hacking day is coming 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Possibly, corporate and govt AI budgets should spent not on cool vibe coded web app to impress the boss and more sifting through every line of code, cloud configuration, unpatched vm, etc. sounds like a job for a very clever bot that will never ever get bored and stop. 2303

ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Solving hard math problems via brute force engineering methods isn’t kind of interesting? 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Reasonably flowing prose used to be a good hack for at least gauging if someone’s thoughts were worth exploring further - at least the person had put in more than the minimum effort. Now it’s like seeing a slick PowerPoint template - carries no quality signal. 000
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 07/09/2026 It to worry they always have the Gibson “the future is here just unevenly distributed” quote as blanket defense…eg “no look in Korea ai agents make 68% of all hotel bookings and a robot climbed Mt. Everest” 011

ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The solution is, pay the ppl in poor neighborhoods where the centers go a slice of the top line. After all the AI bounty will be almost limitless, with most jobs automated and society transformed (but IP law will stay exactly the same). What’s a few hundred billion a year? 000
