I am exasperated with people accusing programmers of "gatekeeping" programming. We were practically dragging people through the gate. Do you know why a mindless LLM can tell you so much great programming information? It's because we've been sharing that information for free online for decades.

tried Claude Code for a month. cancelling my subscription today I’m not convinced I actually saved that much time coding, and I *feel* worse when I’m repeatedly pulling a slot machine lever instead of reading, writing, and learning on my own. not to mention, y’know, all the other stuff

The "reality gap" isn't just a product of algorithms. It's also the result of the collapse of shared civic institutions, local journalism, religious participation, community organizations, stable career paths, and other structures that once gave people a common frame of reference.

"Microsoft has defended its program as “tightly monitored and supplemented by layers of security mitigations,” but after ProPublica’s story published last July, the company announced that it would stop using China-based engineers for Defense Department work." 🤣🤣🤣

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws

In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limi...
