Nothing can beat real organic stupidity

I don’t think this is true. People are out here having straight up AI psychosis. Do you really think there aren’t fools who believe their computer is actually thinking like a human?

What are the odds this was AI related vs some underpaid intern

Ideally people who say that aren’t misled into believing their computer is thinking in the same way that a human is

I agree it’s unnecessary to point out. Using anthropomorphising shorthand to talk about technology is extremely common, and AI is no different; saying an AI is “thinking” or whatever is fine. But there is a difference between using that language as shorthand, and actually holding misconceptions about what is really happening. So saying that it’s fine for someone to be misled and use that language is different than just saying the language makes sense to use.

Having an inaccurate view about something so fundamental to the topic leads you to predict reality incorrectly and make bad decisions

lmfao based

I wouldn’t call this an “experiment” exactly, there wasn’t a proper hypothesis. They also mentioned they hoped to find out what LLMs think about when they’re not being prompted, which shows such a fundamental lack of knowledge that it frankly disqualifies any of their opinions on the subject.

Doesn’t sound very “cool” to cook your servers with waste heat in the vacuum of space lmao

Is there literally any justification for this or have they just completely lost their minds

I disabled sleep-on-close for my server laptop (I use NixOS btw), although I do prefer to keep it on for my personal laptop.

Pedantically I don’t like that saying but it is certainly useful

That’s what I came to this post to comment; atrophy of coding ability is just a vidible effect of the more generalized atrophy of thought.

I’ve spent the last few days cleaning up some genuine garbage in a file. The file shows a single UI grid with four editable columns and some basic validation logic. It started out as over 3000 lines long and I have managed to consolidate and remove enough to get ot down to 1000. I have done nothing but remove 2/3 of the file and literally no functionality has been lost. I’m losing my mind over here how does the tech debt even get this bad lmao

Knowing this is my competition makes me feel much better about myself

Figures they don’t know how to keep their laptops awake while the lid is closed lmao

You don’t appear any more capable of thought than the LLMs you hate. Your response doesn’t even make sense in relation to the previous post, it’s like you saw someone with a different opinion and your fingers just automatically started trying to describe the poster in a sexually compromising position with as much detail as possible. Typing out your delusions in strong language doesn’t make them real.

…good news?
