bdangubic··on I am often wrong
quick - someone turn this into agentic harness :)
bdangubic··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
What is the difference here between using LLMs and, from the days of Yorn, use Google etc to “summarize” what I read? Assuming that if it appears I wrote it, I understand it, I don’t think makes sense. I know some people that have written some very techy blogs (some made it to front page) that really don’t know jack shit about it (we worked together so I know firsthand they know javk shit about it…)
bdangubic··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
This isn’t English first/second language thing to me. I find LLM writing unbearable (even with humanizer skills and all the other bullshit, I can smell it from a mile away). What I was trying to convey is that, to me, there is no difference in reading “can you summarize this shit for me” vs. reading someone’s blog, LLM-written/assisted, that did the same thing and posted it publicly. If I like/tolerate the former (I don’t), I’d like/tolerate the latter
bdangubic··on End the H-1B Program
may sound that way but they are not, there are many companies that off-shore just about all of their development and QA. so your comment is roughly equivalent to “we’ll all be out of a job soon” (which may very well be the case :) )
bdangubic··on End the H-1B Program
several companies I work(ed) with ended the H1-B sponsorships. now they just outsource the work abroad, much better :)

H1-B is smokescreen put in front us to “argue” about and pale in comparison to outsourcing which no one talks about (cause companies pay politicians a lot of money to make sure no one talks about it, like ever…)

bdangubic··on Almost Never Use AI to Write Anything Substantive
so you never use LLMs like at all?
bdangubic··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
this is where I perhaps differ from other commenters, I do not have higher tolerance, regardless of whether I asked it or am reading something someone else posted, fully or partially written by LLM.
bdangubic··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
I am someone else, if AI can write something that I want to and can consume then it can do the same for other’s consumption. Perhaps a disclaimer would be nice, “co-written with ____” but I see no difference between the two though of course I understand what you are trying to convey conceptually
bdangubic··on War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?
yea, you are right, I recall from my high school education when Hitler came to Washington and then London, fun times

bdangubic··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
These doomsday theories sound solid in practice but in order for someone to accumulate a lot of wealth there have to be consumers to chip into this. If we are all slaves, where is that wealth going to come from?!
bdangubic··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
This is solid but how many people you reckon would benefit if they paid every single penny for any copyrighted data? I am in my 50's with 30 years in the industry and I know maybe 2 people that might benefit from this... certainly not something general public would benefit from

bdangubic··on Fed hikes rates as inflation worries push up bond yields

bdangubic··on Jabber/XMPP: How Do We Gain Traction?
the only people that really trust the police are ones that never actually had to deal with the police (which may be a whole lot of people). however, if you ever have an unfortunate situation to have a run in with the police, there is a good chance you will not be all that trusting any longer. people trust the idea of police more so than anything else
