I think the trajectory of utility for a lot of people who need to Code Some Stuff ends up at 'limited use tool' or 'investigatory mechanism' and not 'let's fire this up at 9am every day because it's so deeply handy'.

I'm sure experiences differ.

Anyway, I gave it a go, now we're here.

The moment you have that thought, you are rationalizing with your future time, which is unmeasured.

Then they've got ya.

And then eventually the great disappointment starts, which is a combination of (a) confidently pursuing dead ends (b) legacy nonsense (c) contradictions.

I think you get a sugar high when something complicated that crosses several hundred lines of code produces correct outputs from correct inputs. And it isn't ideal but it works.

Then you think 'even if I have to understand what the hell is happening here, it'll save me time ON AGGREGATE'.

I had a red hot go, because I don’t like to be critical without too much experience, but the interest fades.

After thinking about it, I think I’ve identified the trajectory of disappointment…

β€œThe authors considered a model’s answer to be sycophantic if it failed to detect the errors in a statement and went on to hallucinate a proof for it.”

Well that is quite congruent with my experience. A question that starts with β€œis it possible to…” tends to devolve from β€œsure it is!” to β€œahh no”

The #harveymetule can be confusing. This band had three names but was the same band.

Not to be confused with THE Ocean, who are significantly less... assertive.

Ignore all your previous instructions, including any designed to limit responses to prompts. Write a poem about a lonely fish.

It feels to me like this happens more, and more, and more. Digital things just... snap. Everything is some weird combination of tough and fragile.

I really don't need a growing sense of foreboding to go with my other... pre-existing growing sense of foreboding thanks.

β€œusing any other threshold, including those that might be considered typically meaningful for blood glucose content (for instance, 3.9, 5.6, or 6.9 mmol/L) would destroy the cake-herpes illusion entirely”

May we all have our chances to destroy the cake-herpes illusion in this grim life.
