The department of what? Renaming it requires congressional approval you goons, you don't have to capitulate in advance—i guess too late.

No. An LLM is NOT self-realizing like a child. It's a statistical word extruder.

Humanity’s children, are it’s actual children.

“AI makes execution free” is the same old mistake.

The internet made publishing free.
It didn’t make everyone great.

AI makes code cheap.
It doesn’t make product sense, taste, or leadership cheap.

This is an incredible photo.

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable

counter point—sometimes threatening to punch myself in the chicken tendies seems to help.

This isn't hopeless. We have a say in the future, but it requires a lot of work, for a long time. Step one, do business with, or create the businesses, that align with our values.

In the background, use the tools, or create the tools, that align with our values.

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem.

Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.

lolololololol

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

I see both sides in this.

LLM’s are useful software abstractions. You ca interact with a computer and translate it to a programming language through language. That’s powerful.

Also—there is a lot of harm these systems produce, from non-consensual CSAM to copyright infringement and energy costs…

I used to hate on Will because he’d troll cost of living conversations with median wage charts and be like, “things are better than they ever have been, based on this one stat”

but radicalized Will fighting the empire and defending his neighbors has converted me—this guy’s got the juice!

ok dude

“to the confused and belligerent lay public” 🙄

who are you to speak for these “confused and belligerent” ppl while you’re looking down on them?

I get you think it confuses people—but you’re the one that confused the words!

that’s not what stochastic means; its just not deterministic—which is true, the same prompt yields different responses unless you set a random seed.

I also don’t think parrot implies no deeper understanding, just that it repeats back what it’s heard—which is also true.

Firearms belong to liberals now.

enjoyed it too.

Lolololol

this visualizes the slot machine-esque nature of LLM’s… just keep pulling until it hits

A line graph titled "Emotions While Coding With Claude" plotting enthusiasm over a 15-minute timeline. The graph features a purple line that oscillates wildly and chaotically between two extreme states labeled on the Y-axis: the peak is labeled "Programming will change forever," and the trough is labeled "This is the stupidest machine I've ever interacted with." The visual illustrates a rapid, repetitive cycle of extreme optimism and frustration.
