Same. There’s reduction in workforce, pressure to move faster, and no good way to do that without sloppiness. I have never been this down on the industry before, which was never great, but now it’s terrible.

The remote models are but the on-device ones were trained by apple


Yep. LLMs are exceptionally good at picking up the biases in the formation of your questions and running with it. Super annoying


What? The term FUD has been around since at least the 90s, though I think significantly older than that


Grok probably recommends it when prompted for something completely innocuous


If nunneries are as gay as I always imagined in my head, I’m in.


Exactly what I don’t want from a car. I want fewer features implemented better, higher build quality, and zero connectivity.


If this and everything else happening right now is the eventuality, then Humans aren’t mature enough to have an internet. It was a mistake; can we take it back??? Maybe we’re mature enough to have standalone computers… maybe.
I’ve used it extensively almost all my life. I love it. But I have largely stopped since the advent of LLMs. I’ve also changed my uses of bullets. I will now rarely do a flat bulleted list. I will either write sentences or do a nested list.
I don’t think those things are bad, but I see them so much in llm writing that they have, for now, become ugly to me.


Those are the best, though I wish they’d improve the controls.


Yes, our usage is tracked. Managers have statistics broken down by daily usage per agent


The only time it ever says “the real issue is” and is right is when I’ve just corrected it and told it the real issue which it then wastes tokens regurgitating back to me. Gods I miss not having to use this crap at work


If AI were causing real automation improvements and productivity gains, shouldn’t they be extending support, if anything?


“New model is so much better than old model when given test that we never gave to the old model.“
Wut


I miss HyperCard.


Seems like you can’t disable from the web? I’ve never used a Gmail app, always used via imap. Fucking hate having to download an app to turn this off. Not my primary email address, but it is my secondary. Should change that…


Some old Slashdot vet not only imagined a Beowulf cluster of those, but actually went out and did it. Respect.
Thats a pretty good attitude. I have unfortunately been forced to use as much as possible for work for over a year. On the one hand Claude opus 4.6 is really a massive improvement to what I was using at the beginning of last year, which is honestly a scary trajectory.
On the other, I still don’t have any trust at all for production code as I see far too many errors. I can pump out rapid prototypes way faster than before, (and I was always very very fast at that) but I learn less from them. I still feel like using the LLM is like stealing from the future. For the most part I need to do the actual work eventually, understanding the code takes as long as writing it, and fixing takes longer.
Where I find it really useful is exploratory. It errors a lot but has compressed essentially the whole of human writing, so I can ask about approaches to specific problems and find apis and techniques I wouldn’t necessarily have found before. It still hallucinates an api more than once a day for me, but as long as you check it that’s something.
I still don’t think the revolution is here. It only feels like it could be because it’s been subsidized to hell and back, and I am terrified of the human cost: insane data center use, the economic toll of bubble popping (which of course will be felt by the masses), all the layoffs, and what happens to humans when we offset thinking rather than just memory to computers. There’s gonna be a lot of pain in the coming years
