@Mike_Scully_ And then draw the rest of the owl, got it. Thank you! Off to pre-order my lambo

@NathanWalesVA @CEO_AISOMA Which one are you using? And if no fine tuning, and no prompts, then what? What does “agency” mean?

[Alex Mrvaljevich @alexmrv]

Bold people assuming heavy cognition was going on before LLMs.
Bullshit work has been bullshit for years, now it just finds a way into a PR that I have to deal with. If anything thinking is going up just to find countermeasures to the slop grenades

[Maurizio @themgmtconsult]

Boys and girls, nobody is thinking anymore.

Entire enterprise departments have thousands of people who are spending their days interacting with the LLM, faking "being productive", consuming tokens because it's a highly regarded activity, shipping lines of code with Cursor or Amp or Claude or whatever (except their brain).

Even slides are not made thinking anymore!

The person that allegedly built the powerpoint deck you are reviewing right now cannot even answer a couple of intelligent questions on the very thing he's presenting to you.

He looks at you stuttering some nonsense, hoping you'll let him off the hook because he made it so obvious Copilot wrote the slides (of course, you already knew that within the first 6 seconds of glancing at them).

There is some sort of comical atmosphere to it all.

And an absurd satisfaction in watching this entire situation unfolding in front of your eyes.

There is also approximately ZERO chance this whole thing won't spectacularly backfire, and of course good old consulting firms will be there to pick up the pieces.

I wonder at what point we started to believe we could get away with doing valuable things without even thinking?!

How did this happen, wow.

@samueljmcd That was like 80 years ago man, I can only keep with the latest thing, you gotta Jev your OpenClaw with an RSI swarm if you want to interest anyone on twitter

@codewith55 Supabase is Pg, MySQL and Pg are different flavours of SQL, so really your question boils down to Document Store or Relational Db.
Don’t do Document Store, especially starting out, it can do anything meaning you will do anything, including stuff you shouldn’t do

[Alex Mrvaljevich @alexmrv]

@CEO_AISOMA Doesn’t work like that, if you ask it A or B it will follow instructions and do its best to surface the most appropriate choice or hallucinate one. You need to add option C (don’t know) in the system prompt or instructions. -especially- in the 27b or less models

@CodeWithTamara After a lot of heartbreak I have learned you quote your costs in the upfront payment, and the delivery is pure profit. If you don’t get second half at least you did not work out of pocket.
Even perfect projects sometimes don’t get paid

[Alex Mrvaljevich @alexmrv]

@signulll There’s been a lot of research on business competition behaving like a herd. The rules for herd behaviour are:

1: hyper vigilance on what your nearest neighbour is doing
2: implicit trust that they are doing the right thing

So convergence within a specific industry is common
