Steam reviewer attitude haha!
imdsm··on Mea Culpa – Dark Hours
The solution is clear: yes we use AI, and we're okay with it.

There's no way Claude/AI recreated another persons app exactly, with the same name and branding, without being told to do so in some way. I just don't believe it.

And him not using it and calling out AI is just him covering his ass

imdsm··on Teach yourself programming in ten years (1998)
Only way it's costing $10 is if you're putting your whole code base in without without any work or guidance, which is what people who don't use AI day to day think is what happens.

How wonderful to be human, and to be able to have your own political views and opinions such that you could be, subjectively, wrong. We can all only hope to one day also have our own opinions and proudly be wrong.
imdsm··on GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra produces proof of the Cycle Double Cover Conjecture [pdf]
i think most things can be automated, but not everything

i think AI will just replace jobs with new jobs, and humans will continue with open-ended goal setting, and probably jobs where being human is necessary: responsibility and authenticity, so judges, politics, leaders, chefs, etc.

so in a way, the above commenter was correct, anything a programmer can automate, AI can do

Can it vacuum for me? Change the bedding? Can I put it to work in a blacksmith shop? Can it live outside and have the task of picking up leaves from the garden one by one until it finally breaks and causes The Android Uprising?

Weird that it runs as a local webserver rather than as an app

imdsm··on I'm Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and new book "Incorruptible" – AMA
You said build-measure-learn principles survive AI. But when an MVP costs hours instead of months, doesn't the bottleneck move entirely to distribution and customer development?

imdsm··on Peter Neumann has died
It feels as though an entire era is fading day by day
imdsm··on Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
That's because testing is a layer above, and that requires effort from people, and people don't want to put in the effort or lack the skills to properly test with them. I think LLMs are superb at testing, but I have a lot of machinery in front of them to enable it
imdsm··on Fecal transplants for autism deliver success in clinical trials (2019)
I think the terminology of "incredible" is the operative word but I agree, if it could help, great. But I'm very skeptical. I find it hard to think that your gut biome can affect your brain so much that you struggle with social queues but are able to have an amazing memory.

But then I've met people not on "the spectrum" who have an amazing memory, such as a professor I recently met with who could remember the page numbers for certain phrases in books. Perhaps Asperger-level people just have the ability with the added challenges of autism?

who knows

imdsm··on UK sovereign LLM inference
Personal take: terrible name. RelaxAI feels like you trawled for available .ai domains with dictionary words and landed on this. But it doesn't work, unless it's a relaxed AI. Is it slower, but cheaper, we'll process your requests when we get to them, so relax!

You could have bought languagemodels.co.uk off me and used that!

imdsm··on RelaxAI – UK sovereign LLM inference at 80% cheaper than OpenAI/Claude
good question, it's going to take a lot to dislodge openrouter from my workflows
imdsm··on UK sovereign LLM inference
Marketing aside, why are you using the term "UK sovereign"?

I assume UK based DCs, so why not just say that, UK based LLM inference.

Is it a DC owned/ran by HM Gov? Is that why it's sovereign?

Not a criticism, more of a critique.

imdsm··on UK sovereign LLM inference
While I'm British, based in the UK, seeing prices in £ really throws me

Token prices should be in $ as that's how our brains work

imdsm··on Details of the Daring Airdrop at Tristan Da Cunha

What if claude triggers claude? Is claude automated or non-human?

So if claude decides to trigger claude -p then claude violates the ToS on your behalf and you get your account nuked?

imdsm··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
I feel exactly this way

Why are we trying to replace git? What is the problem with git?

imdsm··on The Team Behind a Pro-Iran, Lego-Themed Viral-Video Campaign
I watched "One Battle After Another" and it shows how deranged people are. I don't think its a new thing, I just think in any stable society, people who don't thrive eventually find a way to destroy the society in the hope whatever comes next will serve them better. In a society where hard work and intelligent gives you an advantage, it stands to reason that lazy, stupid people will need to play differently in order to win.

I can't wait to read wikipedia in 30 years.
