I’m looking for a corner of the fedi that i could actually engage with on “ai” without dealing with all the haters. I get it i hear you and if you are in that camp, drop what you would want to see in a content warning. Shit posts like: - man opus 4.7 really loves the load-bearing comment.

A pretty common explanation for bots being good at code is tied to the large open source corpus they (largely pirated) trained on. After a few weeks of using claude code to build a system that helps the llm/harness plan and maintain alignment to my intent, i can confidently say, that bitch fell on the head. I think LLMs are good code because code has structured intent. Predicting next words is def useful for using tools, and when you can lean on an AST, you can “”reason””. But try to get a bo...

one of the most attractive parts of moving to Hawai&#39;i may be the several persons confirmed… it’s so far away from the mainland bullshit that you can breath a bit I don’t love the idea of “running away” but at some point it really boils down to self preservation
