  • I wouldn’t call it vaguely defined free speech ideal.

    Reddit wants more users. It wants them to look more active. Loud mouth chuds give them that. Infact I feel this is why reddit is pushing algorithms hard. It wants more users, and best way to get more users is to trap more and more of them in echo chambers.

    Right wing ideologies were very rare to come by on reddit 2-3 years ago. They were small conservative islands. Today reddit’s right wing communities are growing fast, and are larger and more numerous than they’ve ever been. That’s what algorithmic recommendations allow you to do. Also destroyed the reddit Hivemind, though I have mixed feelings on that one.





  • I definitely agree LLMs generate a lot of bloated code.

    Look, LLMs are pattern identifiers. They identity patterns. They don’t guess. Guessing is what humans do. They ‘latch’ onto a pattern. They don’t learn patterns, they recognise them. Yes, is what studies have shown. LLMs don’t learn gradually like Humans. They “latch” onto patterns. It’s not sentient. It’s just a machine learning algorithm, and if you think any of the AI that came before LLM is intelligent, then even LLMs are intelligent. If you think deep learning algorithms are just non linear matrix multiplications, they’re exactly that.

    LLMs coming for Coding jobs isn’t because they’re superhuman intelligent, its cause what most coders do is mostly same things. LLMs cannot do novel architecture, but if it’s similar to 50 different softwares who’s code it has trained on, yes, LLMs can so that.

    LLMs are marvelous machines. They’re not sentient, and only intelligent if you’re willing to call every other ML algorithm intelligent. But the underlying statistics algorithm can and will keep getting better and/or more efficient, that was the point I was trying to make earlier.

    Edit: actually you make some more good points. If LLM gets free reign over a project, they do make code unreadable. And Idk if that problem will be solved. It’s just too much code they write, and efficiency is not something their training data gave them.




  • Forget duck, give me life of an Orca. It checks every single checkbox for a fun comfortable life.

    1. Endangered: humans won’t fuck with them
    2. Intelligent: one of the most intelligent animals on this planet
    3. Apex predator: we kinda take this for granted. I dont wanna spend my life being chased by hawks.
    4. No mosquito
    5. They have great social life
    6. I’m giant, I fuck with fishes, mom doesn’t tell me anything cause she too is fucking with the fishes
