cute girl in tech.

Wrote a substack post about the purpose of storytelling and where AI still falls short. Linked below!

@norpadon I’ve never seen a good engineer larp about level inflation. It’s always engineers who are senior level at age 40 gate keeping promotions. If you don’t promote high performers, they’re going to leave, and the company is ngmi

I love that i can ask grok for advice on how to jailbreak other models and it will literally just tell me and brainstorm ideas. Its so fun

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@fewchures Yes! For the same reason LLMs tend to be terrible at making intuitive human readable observability dashboards without multiple rounds of prompting

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

Llms still have a taste problem and it’s because you need strong conviction for good taste. Taste comes from a visceral feeling, a like or a dislike, something you can’t stand to see another way. Llms fundamentally don’t yet have the capability to feel yet, only imitate

@Surendar__05 I haven’t used a code editor in 1.5 years! It’s just a terminal for me. If you’re good enough at promoting, you really don’t need to read the raw code anymore

I find that talking to agents all day at work has made me more extroverted. When I finish work, I just get so excited to actually talk to real sentient humans. Nothing quite feels the same as seeing the micro expressions of another person

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@tpritha03 Asking questions! Talking to agents is very similar to collaborating with coworkers. We get smarter together and build things together, spotting the blind spots that each might have not seen

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@kapilansh_twt I think it’s best to be an engineer at a model agnostic company. Then you can use all of them and get them to review each other’s PRs. It’s like having 3 collaborators instead of just 1!

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@Tech_girl Lack of substance. AI is best when used as an editor to convey a beautiful human idea. AI does not yet have the capacity to create. Only humans can do that.

@markproduct Companies are extending offers to the same top 10%. Very analogous to the dating market. It’s a winner take all game.

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@rohanpaul_ai I think this is indirectly happening in the tech industry too. The engineers that are best at promoting agents generally are pretty high eq and talk to the agents in a Socratic manner the way one would lovingly interact with a child

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@justinryanio @tim_cook At first glance, I thought this was Steve Jobs

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@shirshakchavan AI is just a multiplier. It makes smart people smarter and dumb people dumber. Those who are eager to learn will just learn quicker with AI

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

The only way we can teach llms to have conviction is to find a way to make them feel pain. Nothing can exist without pain; even joy is empty without pain

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

Actually for this reason, I quite enjoy Kimi as well. I think Asian countries haven’t fallen into the trap of political correctness that pollutes truth yet

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

All of the llm models still highkey have a sycophancy problem, except for grok. When I use llms for therapy and when I want a truthful opinion, I always turn to grok. Of all the llms, I feel least likely to fall into ai psychosis when I use it

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

It makes the tool pretty useless. It’s like talking to someone who is way too agreeable and has no sense of self. Highkey infuriating

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

The models will be sycophants even when there is no reason for it

Me: is cognition is a good investment at 40B?
ChatGPT: Unless if they become the default coding interface, it’s difficult to justify a 4x
Me: but their growth seems great?
ChatGPT: cognition has an easy path to 1T

@gurvansh99 I think single people tend to spend a lot of time thinking about dating, hence why it permeates even into their hobbies

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

@HighRiskAsset Thank you! I started a new job so it was a busy couple of months!

[Cinnamon Roll @CinnamonRoll197]

It feels like robotics is the new crypto. Web3 investors are now suddenly physics experts and deeply passionate about reinforcement learning
