But can Dan explain why my viewers are complaining about being served gambling ads that feature fully nude women, in ways that would get a streamer banned for violating TOS if they showed the same imagery? Where's MY brand safety, Dan?

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

Real talk, why half of the remaining games media is in Japan this week but no one can ever find a Japanese dev, consultant, journo or researcher to talk about Japan? Especially when we then get these experts who ignore the well-know fact that Japan has laws which make firing people extremely hard.

yeah and this might not be obvious but a thing i've noticed at work is that LLMs output code you kind of need an LLM to maintain. it's a huge pain in the ass to read for a person, they will put all kinds of extraneous shit in comments and develop weird names for things that no one understands

One reason the not-a-computer-science-expert on here who calls other people anti-vaxxers and "basically Ted K" for not credulously believing the science-fiction memes coming out of the foundation labs is so annoying is because he's literally just repeating computer pseudoscience by non-experts.

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

The "output" is an accidental side effect of the exploration of self and (very importantly!) community. LLMs are about isolated creation of artifacts without relation to the process and the self. LLM usage is by definition _anti-punk_.

The pitch of "You know three chords now you're in a band" and "make a zine on a copier and staple it together" was about you being able to do what you want your way. To actually empower you to explore what you can, want to, have to say and change in the world.

"I am writing 200,000 lines of code a week and there's no way you can review all that" I'd say there's a very obvious solution to this problem and it does not involve generating several person-years of output per week

LLM chatbots and agents are a technology that is inherently misleading to its users so I do think it is appropriate to be extra skeptical of someone's individual claims about finding them "useful". Self-assessment of productivity or methodological validity is wobbly at the best of times anyway.
