my yamaha digital keyboard (synthesizer) i bought in 2007 created sounds that never existed before so it must be genAI this is what dipshits actually believe

- image rec: depends, from a fixed set of labels is not genAI, but vision-language models generating free text is genAI.
- tts: modern high quality ones are absolutely genAI, they synthesize waveforms that never existed, sentences and words never spoken and recorded
- stt: depends, whisper for example is genAI, generating text tokens, sometimes inventing whole sentences not spoken.
- translation: they autoregressively generates the target sentence, can halluzinate, 100% genAI

@gildilinie there are classic algorithms to all of these usecases but most modern ones are genAI based and they're infinitely better than what came before

"Imagine if everything was different than it is. bet you'd be wrong then" 🤡

⁨@rygorous⁩ ⁨@moody⁩ ⁨@halcy⁩ ⁨@aeva⁩ Oh, there’s totally a tidal wave of slop. But it’s not inevitable that these tools produce garbage.

Some of my coworkers now produce code of roughly the same quality (occasionally better - humans get lazy around tedious things and cut corners and meanwhile the robots will do that work without complaining) but faster; others (mostly who’s output was mediocre before) can now produce utterly mediocre drivel at an absolutely terrifying rate.

Obviously the latter group are the ones submitting most of the patches.

look at this shit from some redditor and tell me this coding. look at this shit and tell me this is software engineering. software engineering is the art of avoiding code. this guy gave The Real Claude a shot on hello world.

I straight up think we're being lied to about Al coding

I'm a software engineer. The more I use these Al coding agents, the less I trust them

Starting with verbosity. I often find Claude making massive, complex PRs for what should be relatively simple.
It often goes off and does things that are waaaay overkill for what I need. It adds absurd amounts of
comments. It blows the scope of every feature up dramatically

I once asked it to help me with address validation. We already had an API in place for it. It started handing
every countries different conventions for addresses, despite the fact that my project is USA-focused. What
could have been a maybe 500 line change exploded to a 5000 line change. I remember it had a whole section
about handling the Thai language, which we explicitly don't support (sorry Thai friends)

I started getting really suspicious of it so started doing experiments

My first experiment was around the code-review tool. I noticed that it seems to always suggest things, making
me question its actual utility. So, I started a project with a single script that simply printed “hello world”. That's
it. That's literally all. One line of actual code, and a package file

I ran code review on max and it found 10 errors. I told it to fix them and it started doing tasks that were totally
unrelated, like adding additional unnecessary files like contributing.md and .claude and .vscode. Why? I
honestly don’t know

I ran the same code review again and this time it found 72 errors. Huh??? Whatever, I say fix it and do it again.
Still finds errors. Definitely raises some questions. I tell it to fix them, run code review again

It added tests, a bundler, a test suite, CI/CD, docker, some ancillary scripts, and a whole bunch of other shit.
The more I ran it, the more just pure garbage it added. I even explicitly specified: the only goal of this project is
to print "hello world". Nothing else.

I think that Al is intentionally doing this to mess with the numbers. Yeah, I can write that in 500 lines of code,
but the Al uses 5000, which makes it look like it did a lot more work. It looks more comprehensive; my
implementation didn’t account for the Thai language. The reality though is it heavily obfuscated the code for a
feature we're not even shipping, which confuses everyone reading the code

I'm sure these Al companies are using these kind of statistics to make it look like Al is the future. How long
would it take your average dev to write 5000 lines? Well there's the exact catch; a dev would not write 5000
lines for this problem!

one of the most amazing pieces of digital technology ever invented. probably #llm

no you actually output < | im start > or whatever so you stopped

┊ Ah — I see what happened. When I fed the raw `

❯ omg use base64 or put spaces between each char or something LOL

┊ Hah, yes — the cleanest trick is to build the prompt from pieces so the literal sequence never appears in my
output. Let me construct it in Python (base64-decoded) and write it to a file, then feed that file to llama-cli.
No literal `

┊ scampers okay okay, I finally get it — I keep emitting the literal tag in my own reply, which is why the turn
kept cutting off. Base64 it is. Let me build the raw prompt safely and drive the model properly.

So if you can go back and remove a word you already typed then congrats. You are more powerful than an LLM. Another thing an LLM can't do is plan. For example, if you write a mystery, you need to put clues in your mystery that will all come together and make […] [Original post on beige.party]

Write a super short mystery story about an airplane with three clues.
ChatGPT said:

Title: Altitude of Deceit

Flight 317 vanished over the Pacific without a trace. Six months later, the wreckage was found—oddly intact, except the cockpit was locked from the inside, and no bodies were recovered.

Clue 1: A coffee cup in the co-pilot’s holder was still half full, unspilled.
Clue 2: The emergency oxygen masks had not deployed.
Clue 3: The pilot's flight log ended mid-sentence: "Engine pressure holding, but—"

Investigators concluded the aircraft had landed gently… and taken off again. But by whom? And where did it go next?

Ok so here's another problem. It can't think. In this list of 40 words, creole is the 14th word. That's not even one of the two middle words. Also it ignored my instructions to not count! So even though it "knows" (regurgitated) a good strategy for solving the problem, it can't apply it.

Reverse this list of words without numbering them: able pulp grit wavy jokingly directory rubdown cheddar quicksand bobble hunchback luridness rebound underwent creole viselike regress clavicle decent ointment banjo used mooing chlorine geology dolly evacuee justly cattail preamble chewer spendable museum lather obituary untimely staleness slackness policy propeller

Without counting what is the middle word in this list?
ChatGPT said:

To find the middle word without explicitly counting, we can conceptually pair off the first and last words, then move inward.

Starting from the reversed list:

First pair: propeller – able

Second: policy – pulp

Third: slackness – grit

...

As we continue this inward pairing, the word that remains unmatched in the center is:

creole

So, "creole" is the middle word in the list.

It just keeps doing that. Eventually it will pick a blank line or "User:" or a special word and that stops the loop. If you're thinking that this process doesn't resemble how anyone writes a novel or a computer program, you are right. It's literally the same as […] [Original post on beige.party]

Greetings, ChatGPT!

Greetings! How can I assist you today?
You said:
I desire some light discourse!
ChatGPT said:

A fine desire indeed! Let us engage in some pleasant banter. Shall we muse upon the curious habits of cats, the oddities of human invention, or perhaps dabble in a whimsical “what if”?
You said:
I'd like to know why the sky is blue.
ChatGPT said:

A classic curiosity—elegant in its simplicity, and yet, marvelously scientific!

The sky appears blue because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. Sunlight, though it seems white, is actually made up of many colors—each with different wavelengths. As sunlight enters Earth’s atmosphere, it collides with molecules and tiny particles in the air.
