I don't recall the last time the LLM anthropomorphized to me. It is allowed to use "the model" if it must communicate about language generation.

The fact you are aware of the antimemetics division means you've been infected with a Euclid class SCP. Good luck, you have up to 24h before you cease to exist. Take notes.

In case you're wondering what Stage 1 was (allocate the surplus to consumers)

Stage 2 of #enshittification is well in progress. The surplus is being shifted away from consumers. chatgpt is already not working on mobile web.

Stage 3, that comes after, will take surplus away from the content producers. They'll have to pay for content (not ads) to be shown

I find it wild how AI is this unstoppable force and also we have to change every API and data format to markdown.

So... what happens when LLMs are trained on LLM generated code?

. @markburgessosl.bsky.social I'm noticing the change to LEADS TO instead of FOLLOWS FROM in SSTorytime writing.

Any significant reason for the change? Or is it just easier for folks to use?

Concrete has cement. Cement has lime. Lime comes from limestone. Limestone is sedimentary rock (what fell to ocean bottom) from corals and seashells, often with fossils.

So skyscrapers are bone altars.

I think summary of LLMs for code is missing the three modalities I'm aware of: ghost text, chat, agents. Each mode of operation feels quite different with increasing peril.

I only look at new stuff from channels I'm subscribed to. Although the adtech is trying really hard to make it feel like 1990s.

There's this idea that thanks to LLMs reviewing code will become more important than writing code.

It misses the idea that writing code includes reviewing code as a side effect.

For those who only speak "LLM": writing code is like generating your own data on which you train to review code.

Modern Robotics, Chapter 2.3.2:  Configuration Space Representation

Incidentally, this short 4 minute video triggered in me a fundamental insight into why quaternions work: an embedding in a higher-dimensional space with one constraint avoids singularities or discontinuities when representing the embedded space.
