この人、OSSをsource codeからcompileする「安全」を否定する公式ストア強制の危険性については何も考えてなさそう

Why is it that we craft our work so AI can understand but we do not do so for people?

It’s like we have an expectation people should put forth the effort to understand, but AI has hard limitations, so we have to take extra steps for AI but can be lazy for others.

But what they cannot do is maintain clear mental models.

LLMs get endlessly confused: they assume the code they wrote actually works; when test fail, they are left guessing as to whether to fix the code or the tests; and when it gets frustrating, they just delete the whole lot and start over.

This is exactly the opposite of what I am looking for.

I believe that language models aren’t world models. It’s a weak claim — I’m not saying they’re useless, or that we’re done milking them. It’s also a fuzzy-sounding claim — with its trillion weights, who can prove that there’s something an LLM isn’t a model of?

A great write-up on the “My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts” article, with some really solid thinking on the linguistic & logical shenanigans in AI hype talk.

On the very likely outcomes of the impacts LLMs are having on software engineers and their craft.

People keep asking me If I use Generative AI tools for coding and what I think of them, so this is my effort to put my thoughts in writing, so that I can send people here instead of having to repeat myself every time I get the question.

One of the major turning points in my life was reading my dad’s copy of Robert Cialdini’s Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion as a teenager. […] But Cialdini’s book was a turning point because it highlighted the very real limitations to human reasoning. No matter how smart you were, the mechanisms of your thinkings could easily be tricked in ways that completely bypassed your logical thinking and could insert ideas and trigger decisions that were not in your best interest.

Interesting article on how modern business theory has re-defined the role of the C-suite leaders, and the consequences thereof.

Automating things, even when it doesn’t save time, is how you learn the skills to automate the things that will.

Arguments against the use LLMs for homework.

What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.
