What kind of mistakes?

It claims it did something, but only did partially. Did not actually verify. Every time I discover such things, I explicitly ask it to write to instructions. It helps.

This one i do not call it mistake. It did a job but did not meet my standard. In those cases i gave it good examples and asked it to learn from those.

And how long until you realize there were mistakes?

It depends how frequently you interact with those bots. I interact on a daily basis, and it took me a few days to realize strength/weaknesses of those bots. I also keep an eye on the grok bot team workshops and learn from their practices. They share a lot. There is a bot called “ dr eggbot” on marketplace, which you can use to create other bots. That bot was created by one of the leading grok bot team member.

I hate them. I disable them in every code editor. I don't need to have to guess if it's a double equals or a triple equals

Some fonts use three lines to draw a triple equals ligature. That, and it is, well, triple long. I’ve never had any problems with distinguishing anything with ligatures. They’re nice to look at, and very easy to read once you’re used to them. Skill issue, guys.

The job of a font is to show me the text as it actually is. I shouldn't need to use a "skill" to decode what I'm looking at.

It is common knowledge among most - if not all - civilizations that you do, in fact, need to learn to read in order to know how to read.

Anyway, since you want a direct representation of the text - presumably, you configured your editor to render EOL sequences explicitly, to distinguish tabs from spaces, etc?


They are all scrambling to build a regulatory moat for themselves.

Either that or muddy the waters

To fix it later :)

Ironically I couldn't read the article due to the deluge of ads



Pro-cop 'hackers' was not on my bingo card.


I ran pihole for a while, but I ran into way too many issues with certain sites simply not working at all (booking travel, online shopping...), and it was bothersome to have to constantly allowlist those. UBO works out better.


The United States classified Nelson Mandela a terrorist until 2008.


For people who only spend what they have, what is the risk? I don't accrue credit card debt, never have, so I've enjoyed a 2-3% discount on my entire spending history. Over lifetime that will probably amount to a couple of vacations.


>For people who only spend what they have, what is the risk?

there is none. some people are just ideologically opposed to credit cards, like the parent appears to be.

their loss, really. they end up paying a portion of the cost but reap none of the benefits (rewards, additional legal protections)


I don't appreciate the celebration around acts of individualism rather than collectivizing to improve our workplace for all.


Proselytizing actions like this is step one of collectivization.


I dont think so. Disengaging from the system does not move the needle toward collectivization at all. Step one would be finding like minded coworkers which she didnt seem to do.


In what world does including AI “improve our workplace for all”?

All I see (as a software developer) is bad developers producing way more bad code which just increases my workload as I need to review it, which in turn they will just feed back into the hallucination machine so I just end up remote prompting something until it is “good enough” and I will fix it properly when I next work on that part of the code base.

Managers push everything to AI and to Southeast Asia trying to get things done cheaper without realizing how much technical debt they are taking on. Worst part is that if this continues actual good workers, like myself, will be fired for slowing down progress and in decade either so will be the bad developers as then the managers can just prompt the code or whole software industry will collapse under all this bad code.

Either way I see no improvement for anyone except the Epstein class.


I think parent comment is saying this person should have organized with their coworkers who had similar complaints rather than resigning individually.

Which is understandable. The problem is not solved by resigning. The problem is solved by changing their employer's policy.


In current economy it is hard to keep your convictions. I am starting to be on the anti-ai side of the issue, but even without kids to take care of I don’t see myself quitting over it since I need to make as much money as I can before the bad times roll in and I need to rely on unemployment benefits. I don’t think people with families and mortgages are going to join me in any sort of boycott to not risk their jobs.

This battle sadly was lost before I was even born. People let Epstein class get all the power and do whatever they wanted and now it is too late to make a difference. This economy will collapse one way or another and status quo won’t change before that.


actual good workers, like myself, will be fired for

Hey, not personal, you are a good worker how? Self eval? Good workers are in the eyes of the employer, no?


I don't think I would enjoy AI powered communism more than AI powered capitalism


AI powered socialist welfare state is the way.
