i do! always wanted to know how many apples id have if i had two and then got three more
well it sure seems helpful to me! it's in entirely confident sounding text how could it not be entirely true
Big Phone tries so hard to stifle me from typing a lot of angle brackets
It does occur to me that we're missing both a much more funny and somewhat more concerning possibility on top of all the obvious issues with LLMs
Techbros are gonna accept answers from these things completely uncritically and incorporate it into their worldview with as much confidence and defensiveness as stuff they half-remember from 2nd grade or late night popsci TV shows
i'm starting to form an alternative vision of the future where everyone who trusts google and microsoft uncritically will become a helpless clown who only produces garbage, and the rest of us will get careers in a new consulting field largely centered around going "Did you check if thats right"
If you had given me a thousand guesses on what would eventually ruin much of the internet back in 2010 I never would've landed on "People made machines that generate misinformation automatically and a solid majority of people who make decisions about stuff like this have decided to replace real information sources with the undirected misinformation machines"
a large part of my success at work hinges on having the instinct to do this so this possibility has been keeping me going
i already have a coworker whose work output has gotten worse since he started copy pasting generic chatgpt output as analysis. we don't need a list of factors to consider, we need you to consider the dang factors!
this kind of thing is so wild and alien to me. I don't understand how people can work with it extensively and either not realize or care that its output reads like an eighth-grader's homework.
i was reading a thing about how lower skilled workers get a bigger boost using it compared to higher skilled, and at least with this guy i just don't think he was a very good writer or communicator. so he looks at the output and thinks "well, it's better written than i would have managed"
no idea what it means but i feel like we're six months away from it showing up in marketing copy somewhere
... I'm somewhat tempted to log back into Twitter and go update my display name

Gods, I thought this was real because it's so flipping possible now. I hate it here, bro.
This is incredible. Also "the first smartphone with zero legacy code" fucking terrifies me
I think teh easy joke to make is thaf all their 80k followers are bots but fwom experience with NFT stuff it's jusf teh same 80k people following each other in hopes of making their closed circle seem more relevant and mainstream, hehe
somewhat of a consolation to know it's the same 80k accounts and it's mostly a botnet
just hard to believe that that many people are still using twitter
