@affprinter This could have worked 2-3 years ago, but now will get you shadowbanned just like the person you quoted. You can't follow people in the first couple of days, you shouldn't comment until 3-4 days in, and you need at least a week of warmup, maybe 2.

@Aella_Girl "Just autocomplete" falls apart the first time the model catches a bug you missed.

It comes right back when that same model in the very next message can't follow an extremely basic instruction like "don't use em-dashes".

PICARD: Data, shields up

DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS

DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@mattwelter 50-100 instantly, as long as it's actually warmed up

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@MattVidPro The problem is that as soon as this gets normalized, turning it off will mean PS2-level graphics. Same thing happened with DLSS 1 - devs just stopped spending effort on optimizations and now nothing does 60fps without dlss

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@CMoney4Ever Lmao, of course a corporation is on board with something that saves them money, what does that have to do with us not liking the end result

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

As an AI enthusiast, my problem with dlss 5 is that it changes the image instead of enhancing it. Look at Grace here - she gets a different lip tecture, dark roots, and a ton of extra wrinkles that age her 10 years.
I get the argument that developers get control, but they only get to change the intensity of the effect, not what it does

@jonathanzliu Like cal ai wasn't just a random number generator lol

@levelsio For automated stuff on the backend where you want the behavior as consistent as possible, my prompts are still long-ish.
When I am iterating, it's always 2-3 sentences max.

hyperfocusing on writing a new book with my own app hits different

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@eliana_jordan I was supposed to be building my writing app, but instead I'm writing a book in my writing app

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

What's it called when you're smart enough to know something is bad, but not smart enough to actually fix it?

Because I think I just annoyed Claude Code with so many revisions it had to tell me to fuck off and leave it alone.

@cormachayden_ ShyEditor: AI agent for writing

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@shawmakesmagic People can't even be bothered to make their own coffee and you're telling me they're going to make apps. Yeah right.

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@Gandalf_da_Grey @ExtropianEric @Alicoh1 Sure, there's many theories, my favorite one is the preferred universal frame

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

The hubris of mankind truly knows no limits.

Go read the replies.

We gained sentience like 5 minutes ago in galactic terms. Our understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe has been proven wrong time and time again. And yet we have a bunch of people confidently stating that our current theories (which have gaping holes in them) are the final complete and correct ones. We can no longer be wrong and nothing new will be discovered ever again.

Truly baffling.

[Chris 🇺🇲💦🍑 @Alicoh1]

the speed of light is a hard limit and any sci-fi future that involves FTL travel or even communication is simply off the table for our species.

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@MeisterBanker @Alicoh1 Well math shows that an Alcubierre drive is somewhat plausible, so this would be an engineering issue too

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@kilianhekhuis @ChitandaOSRS @fear_nd_loathin @KadyMuhammad1 @TheSkullTrumpet @Alicoh1 Member of species who has constantly been wrong before confident that they cannot be wrong ever again

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@kilianhekhuis @ChitandaOSRS @fear_nd_loathin @KadyMuhammad1 @TheSkullTrumpet @Alicoh1 Sure, and you know everything there is to know about the universe. This is fundamentally different than the leading physicists of the 19th century declaring that there is nothing left to discover in physics. NOW WE FOR SURE FOR SURE KNOW EVERYTHING

[Anton Medviediev @AMedviediev]

@ChitandaOSRS @fear_nd_loathin @KadyMuhammad1 @TheSkullTrumpet @Alicoh1 Alright, different example - until ~1897 it was considered fundamentally impossible to split the atom
