This is unsurprising because ai generated code *is* ai generated text. Code is text. People think code is different because you can test to see if it runs. But that just tells you if it runs (or passed the tests defined in the code) It does not and *cannot* tell you if it makes sense

8. often, when people say LLMs "can do" something they mean LLMs can produce output that looks like the output of doing something 9. producing something that looks like the output of doing something is not the same thing as doing it

"AI" doesn't do everything and makes lots of mistakes. If you enjoy something, don't be put off by the "inevitability" of "AI". It's all horse shit and the finances behind it are slightly precarious* *This could be a slight understatement

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

Even just replacing "AI" by "software" paints such a different picture. "our software broke out and hacked some organisations". Who's reponsible now?

A cynical person might think that the Dover and Portsmouth protests are a useful, coincidental distraction from a political party's donations.

Reminds me (in a good way) of this particular Mini Biota I saw at Curborough sprint course many years ago (this site had a photo of it autohistory.blog.hu/2009/02/22/e...)

been reading university/higher-ed policies on the use of genAI in education. most policies propose using genAI safely, ethically, & responsibly, which is an oxymoron. the way current genAI is developed, deployed & functions renders the very ideas of safety, ethics, and responsible use meaningless

Try to leave some of it as the pollinators will enjoy it well into autumn. Of course if it's attached to a fence or wall and you want to keep them long term, you might need to reconsider your approach

exactly 💯 on LLMs: they simulate the output we call language, not the cognitive capacity we call language!
