The scale is also massively different. Some artist or intellectual reused the work of a few preceding people people and became famous (and sometimes rich) instead of them. But in the case of AI it’s a couple of already ultra rich owners vs millions of likely mostly struggling creators.

Not paid, but Ecosia based in Germany and Qwant based in France. Plus they are working together on an EU based index. For now they rely on Americans in majority like Kagi and DuckDuckGo do afaik.

The monster was created by a vibe-surgeon.

Don’t those humans also have superhuman abilities in the Matrix which allow them to partially compete with the agents?

It seems like the massification of companies slowly caching up that a good chunk of people completely ignore any kind of traditional marketing (including webpage ads) and are looking for organic-looking opinions on communities instead. Astroturfing is not new, but this looks like the corporatisation of it.
It seems the only way to have an open platform protected from manipulation for private interest is to keep it small enough that it’s not economically interesting.

Can you provide some context, in particular how is it worse there than other instances that probably all struggle to moderate the slop?

Trigger the leftists with the questions. Joke?
I agree it’s hard to have specialized communities here due to the population size, except for the subject that were already the core interests of the people here like IT and left politics.
I would say focus on posting whatever makes you happy without expecting anything back.

There are millions of professional coders who couldn’t do what you did there.

Following the hacker arm race is a good point. But also the number of bugs is not a bottomless pit. If an LLM allows to find more, and hopefully the test and reviews are good enough to limit the new opportunities to introduce some from LLMs, it should reduce the overall number of bugs and make the software generally safer.

Not sure why I immediately thought about The Count of Monte Cristo or his real name Edmond Dantès, depending on if he’s plotting revenge for being exiled from the bed or not.

In his commit message:

[And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work.

I’d like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.

I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am.

But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed. So credit where credit is due and I let the AI write the commit message above.

This is basically a one-liner fixing a bogus “round_up()” to a “round_down()”, but there were 24 patches adding more and more debug information to this, and 18 kernel boot to finally narrow it down to this. - Linus ]

Didn’t he state quite early on that LLMs were a good tool to spot bugs? Found this from 3 years ago: https://blog.mathieuacher.com/LinusTorvaldsLLM/

I’m curious why it seems the time slows down at the end compared to reality? Because more computation is needed to check if it’s a stable state?

I love peanut based sauce and broth.

Acces to tax free exports to one of the richest stable zone, visa free traveling, EU funded programs (for example to support local agriculture which has its downsides too) etc. They probably already partially benefit from these, so they don’t see enough advantage to invest themselves more in the community.

That’s the origin of the EU, building a shared market for coal and steel. I’m not going to try to convince the Marxists here, but those economical ties did provide shared prosperity, stability, peace and friendships over the decades. Now, I don’t know if it would work out for the specifities of Iceland. They are probably already benefiting a lot from the EU without needing to participate more actively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Coal_and_Steel_Community

I liked this recent tv show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Ninjas

Quite divided but with 82.5 % turnout.
