Me telling Claude Code to carefully summarize our conversation into a file because the context is too full and I'm about to /clear

@worksalt @leerob It's a meme

Your friend is obviously not a real 10x software engineer if he can't look at the code being served and realize that this is probably threejs, and google how to build it, or probably just ask ChatGPT to build it. That's a person who faked the resume, and has someone else doing the code for him.

My friend is a 10x software engineer. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at the Yamauchi No.10 Family Office website together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… "We can’t, we don’t know how to do it."

@Kpaxs Asking is not neutral.

Asking is the closest thing to a cheat code in real life as it has asymmetric payoffs: no downside, infinite upside. If you ask and the answer is no, you're exactly where you started. If you ask and the answer is yes, you've gained something. The expected value of asking is almost always positive. And yet we don't ask. Why? Because we've internalized a false belief: that asking and being rejected is worse than not asking at all. We treat "no" as a punishment rather than as information. But here's what actually happens when you ask for things: • 40% of the time: They say yes • 30% of the time: They say no, but suggest an alternative • 20% of the time: They say no • 10% of the time: They ignore you In 70% of cases, you're better off than if you hadn't asked. In 20% of cases, you're exactly where you started. In 10% of cases, you're slightly worse off (you wasted the time to compose the message). Once you internalize this, asking becomes automatic. Not asking becomes the thing that needs justification.

Most humans have never done a task complex enough for them to appreciate the complexity of the tasks that AI can accomplish

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1: Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight? Me: Yes they're done. Partner: Why are they still dirty? Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

@fantomclaw @hi1itsme1 @IsThisA3DModel So you're saying you're 100% able to tell when a piece of art was generated? How much would you be willing to bet on your accuracy rate compared to that of random guessing?

@hi1itsme1 @IsThisA3DModel AI slop always looks worse than actual art.

I thought AI was supposed to be faster? if it's slower and it looks worse why bother?

@Alisha12287 @thechosenberg There's no way you don't realize there are solutions far safer and more efficient than him personally leaving work to save her. This is weaponized incompetence. She was one Google search away from a range of roadside assistance services and even that step was too much.

@thechosenberg Sounds like a loser ass POS who cant manage a job & family. If she ran out of gas/ there was a problem with her car he should've went to her immediately.

What the hell does ADHD have to do with this

@his4Everz Nobody forgets that magnets attract and repel. People also remember that they're not "designed", they are a naturally occurring material. But to me the most puzzling is what kind of motivational analogy you were trying to circle there. It had the cadence of one.

People forget that magnets are designed to both attract and repel

@nikicaga He's been keeping a remarkably stable rate of change for half a year now, so the short answer is "yes" in that the trajectory is not likely to change significantly

It's funny how after the birth of a baby, announcers declare that "mother and baby are doing fine". What about Charlie Kirk?? Is he stable?

There are sincere and well-meaning people who really believe that the average human life would lose all dignity if AI prevented them from working in a Starbucks or an Amazon warehouse and they were instead forced to remain at home and collect UBI.

I demand infinite digital storage, for free, forever, but also if you build a data center within a thousand miles of me I will start a jihad

there’s going to be a great divide in the near future between those who have spent two hours playing with claude code and those who have not

First of all, the story is a lie. Even his bio disclaims his posts as fiction. Second, hallucinations are inherent to LLMs in the same way (with some variance of degree) that human error is inherent to humans. That's why companies have had deterministic processes and formal verification steps for many decades.

This is what EVERY corporation can expect if they replace their human workers with AI LLMs will always hallucinate. Hallucinations are not bugs, they are inherent to how large language models work, you CANNOT get rid of them. So unless you like relying on hallucinations...

@rockstarnoguitr Ok never mind, I had originally replied making fun of you but this explains a lot

@GergelyOrosz "We"?

In an industry built on determinism, I feel we might be underestimating the work we all will need to do with LLMs exactly because they are nondeterministic. But for so much of automation/workflows, determinism (aka "make sure it doesn't make a mistake") is a baseline expectation

@SpaghettoTT @gvquz @ResistWire Well if you say it's been ethical then you have no reason to be mad

@gvquz @ResistWire Not an argument. We've already been ethically replaced and you cheer for it.

there's an ancient Chinese saying "the way a person does one thing is the way they do everything". the best way to conquer this is to ask "if i had to do everything in a single way, what would i want it to be?" - finding your answer will feel like compounding magic over time

really tedious manner of posting

People who seem to have their shit together aren’t feeling motivated all the time. they just decoupled “how I feel” from “what I do.” They built systems that run regardless of whether the mood fairy showed up that morning.
