My threshold for "I should stop and make some specs and plan for this" is now very low. I think the task can be done it one day? No it won't lol. Plan it out and it will take 2 days not 5.

@BarrellTitor44 I enjoyed the rant :D Yes it's very hard to avoid the uncanny valley "human" talk LLMs give. I wonder if there's a model or agent or whatever that cites its sources. You know when you ask it general purpose stuff? It could should cite sources like a paper.

I don't have them in my mind rn because they absolutely traumatize me, but there's these catchphrases AI uses when explaining things that make me want to slam my head against a wall I always have to tell it to shut up and explain properly and it goes >All right no fluff, here's the real deal Dear Lord Jesus Christ please fix this it's like I'm in HR hell this is supposed to be a tool that helps me I assume a lot of this stupidity is because of the system prompts, but I do prefer talking to a human Reading articles is neat too, but if you talk you can get the direct exact information you need, which in most cases is faster than reading through documentation It's why people need to do tutoring, general explainers work fine but if you need a specific going over the general takes way longer and kinda wastes your time Sorry for the random rant, your posts always give me random thoughts lol, love reading them

Been trying to learn some things the past few days and I have been relying on clankers to educate me. This morning I just searched the web and found an article and wow. Human beings are so much better at writing and explaining things. We rock so much guys.

Really, really wish websites would stop "innovating" with boxes you type text into.

@KweenInYellow That's exactly what they are fucking saying. That's what our entire post war morality is built around. There are certain human beings among us who are better, smarter, more moral, and whose lives are worth more than all of us. It's drilled into our head since we were CHILDREN.

Am I crazy or is the New York Times podcast lady actually trying to argue that insulting Jewish people is worse than the mass murder of children?

@LukasHozda I am immensely happy that the generation that mocked us millenials for always texting on our monochrome nokias are now complete smartphone addicts.

The older the person the more they got one shot by AI. Boomers are the most susceptible. If you are over 32, ngmi

@slimjimmy why do so many men do weird stuff like this? Like obviously were all men and all have certain needs and instincts. But why do so many cross over to some weird line when they are buying used clothing from women they have never met? I don't understand...

I don't hate Norman French loan words, or harbour some thousand year old grudge, for the record. But it's more complicated than "English became French"; our high frequency words are Germanic. Eg, every word in this song is Germanic except for "map". youtube.com/watch?v=2EIeUl…

Every word in "There's nothing left to say" is Anglo-Saxon. "there" from "þær" "is" from "is" "nothing" from "nan þing" "left" from "læfed" "to" from "to" "say" is from "seċġan". So is every word in this tweet btw - even "tweet".

STOP saying “forest.” That’s from French. The native English word is “wold,” from Old English wald.

@Layghto2 @arayark @wylfcen English does not come from Old High German. Seriously, two minutes on wikipedia and you could have avoided writing such a stupid post.
