The owner of X is a Russian asset who regularly amplifies Kremlin propaganda. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Not this problem specifically, but this doesn't mean models still have no more headroom to improve with more infra

That certainly could be but I don’t think there’s a lot of evidence of it There’s more pending data center capacity not yet spun up than currently exists at all - jury is out on what will happen to the models when infra scales up that much

Whether we call that code quality or not, my point is that LLMs are actually good at cheaply fixing that sort of thing right now, and probably will get better even still

Walking Calamity @walking-calamity.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
Sure, I guess my idea of code quality would include that stuff Maybe they've peaked but I kind of doubt it On my professional projects llms have actually reduced tech debt overall b/c they can do otherwise time-intensive cleanups/refactors that would taken days/weeks by hand, but in a few minutes

The largest single Republican donor owns the platform X and uses it to spread false rumors about Democratic candidates. Here's why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Maybe. Someone who isn't already a decent software engineer will still definitely drive off cliffs again and again. But I don't think we've reached any plateaus on llm code quality yet, so who knows where it will be in another year (or less)

Walking Calamity @walking-calamity.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
I tend to get pretty good results with llms cleaning up tech debt, as long as I know how I want it to fix the tech debt asking the llm to do broad sweeps/reviews still ends up being a crapshoot of nitpicks

What kind of work? I'm finding them good at just about any coding task these days If the work is more novel (not that I'm doing much of that), I've found I have to steer more of the design but they'll absolutely handle the toil

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed
Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel. I don’t know what the woman has done. I settled 8 Wars, with letters being sent from every President and Prime Minister from the countries that I helped to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and I’m about to settle, or win, two more, Iran and, Russia/Ukraine. They’re both happening at breakneck speed but, forget them, it’s the 8 that I’ve already settled, any one of which, in particular, Pakistan and India, would be far more than necessary to win the Nobel Prize. In actuality, I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1. The 8 Wars are:"Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "Cambodia and Thailand
Kosovo and Serbia
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda
Pakistan and India
Israel and Iran
Egypt and Ethiopia
Armenia and Azerbaijan
Israel and Hamas
Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon, and blowing up the entire Middle East and, ultimately, far beyond! I saved more lives than anyone in History and, as Maria Corina Machado, a truly fine person, stated to the Media when she gave me her Nobel Prize of last year, “Donald Trump settled many Wars, and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than any person that has ever received it.” Based on my record of PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to"
Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to do it — Nobody believed this was possible! I removed the World’s Evil Dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Venezuela, and am in the process of making Venezuela a rich Democracy. Likewise, with Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe. I am also preventing, on a constant basis, a War between South Korea and North Korea, and Japan and North Korea. Add China and Taiwan, and numerous other hot spots, which have not been involved in Wars, only because of President Donald J. Trump, and the United States of America. I am responsible for having NATO countries increase spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, creating a stronger alliance and defense, another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries"Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: "another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries in Eastern Europe. Additionally, I have brought 196 hostages HOME from captivity, from all over the World, and did it without having paid a ransom, unlike Biden and Obama who would pay Billions of Dollars. On top of it all, I have created a soon to be very prosperous Arctic. Despite all of this, the Nobel Prize was given today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of. In all of the Wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations—they were of no help. The United States of America, represented by me, as your President, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t. This is an indelible stain on Norway, one that will never be forgotten. The Nobel “Peace” Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of Radical Ideologues who are Anti-Democracy, and Enemies of Civilization! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
