As a software engineer, I get why people might look at law and go "neat, this is just rules, we can make computer know rules, easy" i have learned law is part rules but mostly edge cases and fistfighting

The EA cultists are a different set of AI weirdos Those are "the machine god will kill us all, all hail the machine god" kind, I'm talking about the "one wierd trick" group

Go compare the YC startups of like 2014 and the AI ones of 2024 and tell me if you see any patterns lol

There's a lot of unskilled deeply mediocre dudes who skirt chase success and think LLMs are their ticket to it Same dudes who hyped crypto and hyped the shit out of NFTs and the same people who scream at you that it's gonna take your knowledge job lol, lmao

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Writing code is not software engineering. My job is not writing code. I have plenty of automation tools, this is another one. It is not magic and will not turn some unskilled mediocre dude into a software engineer.

The spend is much, much tighter than it used to be lol

010

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Math and code are pretty similar in a lot of ways and they are both very different from law, which is essentially just human drama written down Writing code is also different from software engineering. LLMs very much cannot do the latter, because it involves judgements LLMs are not good at

020

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Sure it does. Y'all are just fetishizing math as this unapproachable final boss of human reasoning lol I would expect LLMs to be decent at generating stuff that like they're decent at generating code you don't gotta make it your whole personality

120

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

people think my job is to write code it is not

030

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

as a software engineer, it has not lol

i've been on too many enterprise software sales calls to be tricked with flashy words and the appearance of truth

I can't wait for how stupid the modern version of Jonestown is gonna be

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Tell me you know nothing about tech without telling me lol And I was being nice by assuming you just didn't read instead of assuming you couldn't but if you wanna dive dick first into that I can't stop you

050

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

If you don't do anything of consequence and you don't know how anything works sure, it looks like magic, because you don't know the difference lol

060

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

lol You breezed right over the part where I said it was a good tool if fuckups are manageable That wasn't snark, my dude, there's a lot of things you can do to manage fuckups. And sometimes the risk isn't worth it Engineering is all about managing risk and tradeoffs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I vigorously regret that I do not have the opsec to commit these kinds of crimes

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

yuuuuuuppp it's real he's very proud of it

010

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I'm sorry that you've never done anything of consequence, but that's not an excuse to be a dick about it.

1100

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I'm a software engineer, I don't need you to educate me, dude lol

1101

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

LLMs are great if what you're doing doesn't matter and/or the consequences of any fuckup are manageable. Neither of those things are true in law. You often get just one shot at things. If you fuck it up, too bad so sad gtfo.

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Yup, it's not sincere, it's just a dog whistle. ok more like a dog foghorn. doghorn.

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

auuughh It's all fun and games scoffing at qanon until part of your own tribe start their own version

010

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

i've been having to explain it to friends too and I have to do the exact same thing lol "NO I SWEAR THIS IS REAL"

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

between that and the vegan murder cult

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

oh i know!!! i read the stupid thing back in the day too, fortunately without any other context lol homeslice still does not understand his harry potter was the villain of that story lol

111

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Yeah, they are entirely sincere. It's wierd theological groupthink that tips over into cult sometimes i don't get it

040

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

but does he know the fast fourier transform? that's the gold standard

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I am absolutely not a lawyer and not an expert in this particular kind of tech but Apple is like Disney -- they throw a lot of lawyers at any problem, so I'm 100% sure this has been raked over the legal coals or at least they felt they could defend it

050

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

(3) oh also there is a huge police and fed industry in trying to extract data from iPhones see: Cellebrite and Pegasus to give them credit, Apple tries their best to fight it and does a good job at it

030

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

My semi-informed but mostly vibes-based guess is (1) recording someone without them knowing gets into legal issues (2) apple is hyper cautious about PR and wanted to get in front of any OMG SPY WATCH from the media/influencers

260

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

i'm guessing "we don't record stuff (except to this secret place" won over "the only place we record data is to the secret place"

1110

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

oh totally, they're bending the wording

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The secure enclave isn't new, it's where biometrics/faceid is done as well

120

✨the glitterati✨ @glitterati.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Yeah, the language has been *heavily* workshopped lol. The secure enclave really is entirely walled off from everything else -- at the hardware level iirc?, I did some reading into this a while ago -- but that's a lot to explain they clearly wanted to lead with that before getting technical
