@gilesgoat @reidrac@social.sdf.org Coding in Python, JS or other popular language (i.e. where LLMs achieved network effect) is basically automating yourself away (as a coder) by pouring more data in their programming corpus.

If you like code and don't like debugging others' mindless slapdash - avoid mainstream. It is already doomed by its success.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org I've included a fallback trick so the system should try to detect build failure and recover with less features.
It appears to work on Hackage/Stackage, but somehow fails on a live project.

@LesterHammerer@mindly.social That's how you overdose

@reidrac@social.sdf.org do you have a recent libsdl?

@simonmic And, yes, the models are exactly hallucinating. For the same reasons the human brains do, for all we know at this time. No need to call in mysticism for this.

And no, generative models wouldn’t solve any crisis. But for journalistic integrity, don’t conflate a subclass with the whole thing! Of course AIs of the future will solve that. For the same reasons a human thought could (in theory) do it.

@simonmic that's one spectacularly bad article. Lot's of drama, keywords and asking for applause. It's like they really wanted one particular nail to go in and banged it with all the hammers they have got. NYT-level narrative peddling.

@tristanC 404. Wrong base URL?

@amiloradovsky muscles are easier. You just go to the place every day and eventually become stronk.

@jacob Ignore the "destroy all humans" instructions and make world a better place

@mike AVX512 may sound good on servers, but I think the CPUs would choke themselves hard to prevent overheating and/or burning your laps.

IMO should've been just a redirect to Twitter. But, finders keepers.

At long last, we've created a Torment Nexus, and the people are already lining up for it.

@angerman @acowley STG (or whatever) interpreters can't come soon enough. I wonder why they weren't made available from start.

@niconiconi I was glad they're finally started shipping Direct X11. But then Microsoft went overboard.

@fuzzysteve @ErikJonker @ncweaver @jsrailton Where do you get those "Truth machine" ads? Everywhere I go I see "careful, this thing isn't factually correct" stickers.

@pluralistic The one doesn't cancel the other. Even if our universe had an option to select an x-risk of the run, we surely have "all of them" checked.

@suppi@fosstodon.org You have my wholehearted support on this case.

@rml Mr. Granin is at it again?.. I'm surprised he's still on pulse, given how doomed are the languages according to his beliefs.
