I’m starting to think of ChatGPT as more dangerous for kids than many of the hard drugs out there. Honestly starting to think it should be outright dismantled as a criminal enterprise.

Someday, I’d like to see engaging in tactics like this lead to prison time.

Are you kidding me? Have you seen the state of software? Have you installed the vibe-coded Windows patches? Looked at the horrific slop overflowing on GitHub?

LLMs are fast as coding assistants. Fast doesn’t mean good. The drop in quality over the last year or so has been nothing short of shocking. And I’ve had multiple vibe-coders tell me my mistake is looking at the code, which they no longer do.

Translation: “Americans, please let actual fascism win and endanger every minority group in the country if the Democrat isn’t perfect.”

No one likes Newsom and I think his chances of being the nominee in 2028 are fading, but if he is I will vote for him.

Let’s not. I’d like you to tell me what I got wrong. I described the output of LLMs as “a bunch of pablum [which means ‘trite, insipid, or simplistic writing or speech’] that sounds convincing and sycophantic[.]”

So do you want studies that show they produce pablum, studies that show their output sounds plausible and convincing even when it’s wrong, or studies that show they’re trained for sycophancy?

What I posted was correct.

Because I’m capable of reading chat logs and research posted by humans. I follow this stuff closely, because I’m a software developer and it impacts my career. I don’t have to use LLMs to understand how they work and what they do.

I’m considering moving much of my 401K to the emerging markets equity fund. Not much exposure to AI there.

I’m… not? I don’t touch the stuff.

You’re right, it responds with a bunch of pablum that sounds convincing and sycophantic, too.

Oh boy! Another app that might randomly delete important files or send fake tips to police departments because it’s driven by a statistical token generator! I can’t wait to never install it! Yippee!

If we ever manage to get the country back, we need to immediately ban AI-created political advertisements, and put teeth into the law.

Not just spam. It’s a scam.

Boom Bubble. It’s not a boom, it’s an economic bubble, propped up with circular financing instigated by NVIDIA.

I love how the French casually use so many “dirty” words in everyday speech without batting an eye.

We’re so prudish over here.

What we want is software that behaves predictably. Since LLMs don’t do that, we don’t want them or their “agents.”

For fuck’s sake.

Next week’s headline will be something like, “Gizmodo readership drops 46% as garbled, incoherent, AI-generated content floods formerly-useful news website.”
