Day job: SWE + PM. Here to shit talk about AI.

@BetaTomorrow @CalcCon @JundeMorsenWu @pfau Achieved the moon landing without much imported talent?! Do you know who led the development of Saturn V? Wernher von Braun, you know, a literal swastika enthusiast, alongside over 1500 scientists from the Third Reich!

@SabrinaSwenso11 @HistoryBoomer You made a common logical error on the point of women and pregnancy (see: denying the antecedent).

@NadiGilova @karpathy @btaylor Ngl what you just wrote still has a bit of nerd-speak to it, that I do associate with AI phrasing 😂

Hear me out: the answer is to NOT vibe code an app. Get a designer, have your developers properly engineer the app, have a product person with some ability to distinguish good and bad. If you outsource every step to an AI (i.e., "vibe code"), it follows that everything looks AI-made.

@bluewmist The "trust me bro" research

[littleplato @_littleplato]

People try all hacks to not sound AI, and in the end, a very easy way to not sound AI is to not use AI where it matters. Use it to check the precision of your vocabulary or correctness of grammar, if you must. But I don't understand what's the point of copying words from an AI and calling it yours. I can understand for code; code is only read by coders and it is ultimately valued by its external behaviour (as long as it works...). But for writing, why? Do you really think people would think of you as a great writer when you're copying AI slop? No one cares. Just write badly, at least it's yours. Because even if you give it to an AI it's still bad writing but now it sounds like an AI, which is doubly bad.

@SethCronin @BoringBiz_ No one is stopping you from pursuing meaning at any time in your life though.
