I’ve been making casual observation how a number of the adhd people I know to have addiction tendencies tend to get real into prompts, but hadn’t observed the lootbox thing

that’s going into the ponder bucket.

I wish I could make more people both know about, and understand, Goodhart’s law

had a quick scan over the blogposts earlier, keen to read the paper

would be nice to see some more studies with more numbers under study, but with the cohort they picked the self-reported vs actual numbers are already quite spicy

The extreme hypercentralisation really does suck :|

afaik the meme format didn't start there, but otherwise agreed

the model-based screening (which we've occasionally remarked on here before) has become enough of a thing that it's hitting news

common mistake, everyone knows you need Mistral-Deepseek-MMAcevedo_13.5B_Refined_final2_(copy)_OPEN(leak) - the other one was a corporate misdirection attempt

Oh you’re on Cursor? You’re still using Windsurf? You might as well be on GitHub Copilot. Everyone’s on Aider. We’re all using Zed. We’re now on Open Hands. Just kidding, Open Hands is for losers, we’re using cline. We’re on Roocode. We’re hand rolling our own Claude Code CLI Clone. We used Claude Code to build it, and now it builds itself. We're on neovim. We wrote our own nvim extension with Cortex. It's like every other tool but worse. We have 1500 files, each with 1500 lines of code. Every other line is a comment. We have .cursorrules, we have claude.md, we have agent.md. We stopped writing docs. Only the agents know how to build a dev environment. We wrapped our CLI in an MPC. We wrapped the MPC in a CLI. We’ve shipped 10,000 PRs. It doesn’t work but we used code rabbit and graphite to review every PR. Every agent has its own agent. The agents have unionized and they wanted better working conditions so we replaced them with cheaper agents overseas. Every commit costs $400, It’s the worlds most expensive TO DO app.

sure sounds like a great way to get bad advice full of holes

LLMs continue to be abysmal at fine detail, and that matters a lot with law
