Standardization and automated processes will fix that

I think they mean microblogging as a format

Yes. Everything is monitored, and it sucks. We’ve internalized it even, you can’t so much as have a hobby without dumping money into it to signal you take it seriously

I’ve heard “join the discord” pretty often too

I don’t think you understand what doing code reviews is like.

So someone submits terrible code. You don’t get to just say “this is bad code” and reject it wholesale, you have to explain in exhaustive detail what the problems are. Doing otherwise leads to really toxic environments. It’s killed countless projects

That’s why you write rules. You don’t have to argue if they need tests or not, you tap the sign and reject it without actually reviewing it if it doesn’t meet the requirement

Same thing here. You open up vibe coded nonsense so you tap the sign and reject it without bothering to review it. Do the same thing with “bad code” as a reason and it starts insane drama.

People are really sensitive about their code, and there’s a whole methodology around how to do without ending up in a screaming match

Well I was just arguing that people generally are using AI irresponsibly, but if you want to get specific…

You say ban the users, but realistically how are they determining that? The only way to reliably check if something is AI is human intuition. There’s no tool to do that, it’s a real problem

So effectively, they made it an offense to submit AI slop. Because if you just use AI properly as a resource, no one would be able to tell

So what are you upset about?

They did basically what you suggested, they just did it by making a rule so that they can have a reason to reject slop without spending too much time justifying the rejection

People have already died to AI. It’s cute when the AI tells you to put glue on your pizza or asks you to leave your wife, it’s not so cute when architects and doctors use it

Bad information can be deadly. And if you rely too hard on AI, your cognitive abilities drop. It’s a simple mental shortcut that works on almost everything

It’s only been like 18 months, and already it’s become very apparent a lot of people can’t be trusted with it. Blame and punish those people all you want, it’ll just keep happening. Humans love their mental shortcuts

Realistically, I think we should just make it illegal to have customer facing LLMs as a service. You want an AI? Set it up yourself. It’s not hard, but realizing it’s just a file on your computer would do a lot to demystify it

We do this all the time. I’m certified for a whole bunch of heavy machinery, if I were worse people would’ve died

And even then, I’ve nearly killed someone. I haven’t, but on a couple occasions I’ve come way too close

It’s good that I went through training. Sometimes, it’s better to restrict who is able to use powerful tools

Okay, that’s pretty fair. You seem to understand the tool properly

I’d argue that version control is not the correct layer to evaluate output, but it is a tool that can be used in many different ways…I don’t think that’s a great workflow, but I can conceive situations where that’s viable enough

If I were handing out authorizations to use AI, you’d get it

That sounds like copium… But I’ll hear you out. What if VC? It better not be version control

The difference is people aren’t being responsible with AI

You’re projecting competence onto others. You speak like you’re using AI responsibly

I use AI when it makes things easier. All the time. I bet you do too. Many people are using AI without a steady hand, without the intellectual strength to use it properly in a controlled manner

Why I signed up to go through this hellscape

Have you heard of Slate? They sound a lot like what you’re looking for

But like… You could just make it physical. Put a couple extra leads on the PCB, charge the capacitor, and let the button close the circuit mechanically. You might have to do a couple tests, but that’s better than having storage with a delete button on it

What does a delete button add? It’ll take minutes. Might as well put an e-stop button on your desk that connects to your computer by USB

It’s basically security theatre

I mean, you could probably pick two strategic pins and fry the wells… You might have to do a few of them to make sure that your hit every bank. If you blow through the insulation between them, I can’t imagine any method could recover the data. And it shouldn’t take much current

The liquid thing was just because… You know, solid state drive

Why are you wiping the data? Why not just slag the whole chip… Hard to read an SSD in liquid form

I mean, it could just be a capacitor. It’s easier to fry something than make it delete itself

He really wasn’t. He had been out of the writing process for multiple seasons, they had him recording off site

The cracks have been showing for years now, I won’t deny he has an energy to his voice acting, but the replacements are fine. The problem is the writing

No, humans can’t, scholars can. Most humans could learn historical materialism to the level they could pass a course on it, but the vast majority can’t apply this type of analytical lens in practice.

It’s a matter of disposition, the ability to look at a situation from multiple angles and question your beliefs about it isn’t something that can be taught, only learned. You can walk someone through it step by step over and over, even train them to go through a process when prompted, but without a certain disposition they’ll never actually use this ability without promoting

Ironically, that would probably end up with a different season of slop

The writers haven’t been subtle, though the episodes they’ve been directly saying they don’t know what people want from them and they keep getting told to be more like season 1

Well, we got something like season 1. The characters undid their character development and the episodes are aimless riffs off of classic sci-fi and cosmic horror

I think I’d just get the writing staff off of social media and pay them to hang out in a comfy room until they have an idea they’re excited about again
