Undoubtedly joined in bad faith but we used to just say โ€œdonโ€™t feed the trollsโ€, accounts are on these blocklists with 0 posts or followers :/

Only if you follow moderation lists

Hot take but unfortunate symptom of decentralised blocklists is you have opinionated people controlling participation across the platform which is a bad thing. 63k people are downstream of blocklists, they havenโ€™t blocked him specifically

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

Vibes are bit weird (probably my fault not updating my follows since a year ago) also a lot less meme-y which is casual entertainment

this is, and it will become more and more obvious, a skill issue.

ask for a one-shot, yeah, get junk. Iterate through stepwise instruction and build tests (either by hand, another model, whatever) while actively auditing it? I dunno, I end up something like 3-5x more productive on any real metric

Waking up, reviewing a handful of PRs auto-generated from user bug reports over the night. Cranking out a moderately complex 17k line feature in a day. This shit is getting too easy
