> > The experience is strange; you aren't able to grasp any common human aspects because there are none. You can't reason with the human, because the human isn't doing the reasoning. You can't appeal to it, because the LLM behind it is in direct support of its own and the proxy's opinions and whims.

I've sometimes wondered if the chat context is why some people think LLMs are intelligent, it being divorced from their usual experiences, and they need something like this to feel the cognitive dissonance before they can notice LLM shortcomings.


I've been calling them "meat condoms". In the workplace, it's one or two warnings before completely ejecting them. On social media, instant block.

Seems to be becoming more common, even for folks that are otherwise quite pleasant to deal with. Perhaps social and workplace pressures causes people to opt for it, much like LinkedIn is a cesspool of bullshit

That's terrific lol thanks for the link BTW!

> "the DEAN threatened to kick me out"

So when did the clickbait title apply? The author is honestly, from this article, quite a horrible person.


Absolutely agree. No care about how their platform is being used, chooses to laugh at the almost instant presence of bullying and gossip, takes no responsibility, infringes upon the institutions name, etc. Ends with ego.

The universities reaction was over the top.

The author also needs to improve their grammar. The occasional capitalisation is diabolical. Either do, or don't, and at least if you don't it's obvious you're a child.

* Either do, or don’t, and at least if you don’t, it’s obvious you’re a child.


I deserve that correction. Have an upvote.

I don't think the capitalization is what's tipping people off this kid is a child.

This kid is an adult.

Only legally. The posted behavior is not adult behavior.

It is if you somehow can get away with it. Typically, people higher up in society tend to have an easier time doing so.

"If you can get away with it" does not signify being an adult; it signifies being a sociopath.

I couldn't make it through the whole story because the hum... "writing" (?) gives me a headache. He's a horrible person just for writing like this.

Aw come on man, do you really think that im horrible for writing like that?

Man im sorry you came off with that opinion, i dont think im a horrible person at all and i was just trying to do cool shit honestly.

My first reaction on seeing the title was that it was some anti-Trump/anti-ICE site with the typical over-reaction to censor it.

However, copying people's personal info and then making it available without them having any say is abusive. Letting anyone then comment on anyone's profile is a recipe for further abuse. Not taking down a profile when someone is getting abuse because of it is not surprisingly antagonistic and abusive.

You may not be a horrible person, but what you've done is horrible and abusive. I think it's absolutely correct that the police were involved as what you did is not acceptable at all.

I hope you learn from this to have a bit of respect for other people.


It's worth a read, at least the first half, just because it's really fun.

Exactly what a SWE would say.

I'm not a Single-Wombat Entity if that's what you're accusing me of. I do, in-fact, have multiple wombats making up my person.

If they did, we wouldn't know. Those that do/did know would be dead.

I suppose this joke only works when you've read it. I should take my meds, else I'll forget.

You can’t forget to take class W mnestics. Not unless someone prevents you from taking them.

Remember to check your pancreas regularly.

Just took mine. Please take proper quarantine measures when reading back these comments then, or you'll put us all at risk.

Log entry: Tried building a wall out of hard drives, but Gate walked around them and kept coming. Walls of information ineffective. I've forgotten my name, so I suspect this may be my final entry.

This article smells so strongly of AI that I'd be surprised if the author did much of any writing.

I found the article itself very informative and not particularly ai-tastic. But then I got to that infographic at the end. Holy smokes was that disappointing. It seems clear they didn't even bother to read the captions the AI scribbled.

The summary of various frameworks and languages available is very concise and informative though.

It starts out alright, and then ends with a pile of classic Claude-isms and an unreadable slop graphic. Like the author got bored of writing it halfway through.

"Unreadable slop graphic" xD

Why would you modify the original list and return it with the second example? Honestly the first is better

The question isn't really what's better practice, the question is whether the code follows the prompt. The first example does not.

Why don't we train LLMs on the entire internet every day? Then we don't even need to read anything. Reading is something people did in 2025

The slop decade will be a slop "rest of humanity." There's no going back from this.

I think some spaces will try to retain their value by actively combating LLMs, in the same way they combat hackers and trolls, and if they don't, they'll naturally die.

Several subreddits became AI slop submission repositories and their human engagement dwindled. Some subreddits that were inundated with AI slop implemented policies that ban it, and it seems to work well.

Strict no slop policies work, and surprisingly, so do rules that require AI submissions to be tagged as AI. Forcing slop slingers to tag their slop does a good job at discouraging said slop, it turns out that admitting your slop is slop is embarrassing or something.


Perhaps. What happens when we reach the point where slop is indistinguishable from typical human language?

No technology ever became obsolete?

Oh well, when the most powerful people on the planet manage to enshittify it enough, we'll be freed from AI...

Or maybe there'll be the elite enjoying the world, while the rest of us have to work manual labor. But at least it'll be AI systems ensuring our compliance!


I am actually quite saddened by this. It's very unlikely that' I'll keep using uv, now. I don't trust this kind of shit.
