I find it highly amusing how everyone is talking about "AI slop". Meanwhile my biggest annoyance is human slop - all the vapid "5 prompts that are awesome" and "I tried X and Y assistant and one is better" crap that humans are spewing out. Or at least I think so - maybe that's in…

Given the alleged rules supposedly serious journalism is meant to follow, can we add something that bans the use of "associated" and "linked" in favor of terminology that explicitly includes whether or not a causal claim is being made? And mandatory linking/hovers to explain what…

My single most commonly use exact chatgpt prompt: "re-assess, think hard".

Retweeting this too since I retweeted the previous claim which turned out to not really be true (seems like some overzealous extrapolation occurred). So everyone can go back to arguing over implementation details of autonomous vehicles instead of breathing a word about…

Imagine if all the effort that went into arguing over style and tabs/spaces (prior to auto-formatting becoming the norm), had been spent teaching everyone to ask "Can you please add a comment explaining why we are doing it [in] this [seemingly weird/non-obvious] way?".…

If magic isn't real how do you explain how putting a cable in a cupboard and just letting it sit for a year somehow tangles it beyond all reason.

Serious question. If I'm logged into a company's site (in this case AT&T) and I use chat support. Why don't they make support agents immediately see who I'm logged in as, instead of having them ask me for account numbers and phone numbers to "verify" who I am? What is going on?

Thread: Tesla’s traction control is next level. Not talking ESP / yaw control, although they do some interesting things I haven’t seen before, strictly talking wheel speed control Here’s why Tesla is different (btw BMW claims to now be doing this with their new platform EVs 👌)

"Do as I do, except when I do it wrong." :P GPT-5 also makes the classic human mistake of putting comments in the to-be-committed code which address the reader as if they are reading the diff, instead of actually making sense while reading a snapshot of the code. I find this…

Well, looks like GPT-5, like Sonnet 4, also suffers from duplicating production logic in test-only code and then unit testing that code instead of the production code path.

Haha. Cursor's agent web interface made it so hard for me to copy and paste out of the chat history that I took a screenshot and asked AI to transcribe it into text. I don't know whether to be happy at AI or angry at the AI agent interface.

OAuth experts: I want to validate my understanding is correct (after spending considerable amount of time trying to verify through documentation which is implicit). If I have a *DESKTOP* oauth client in a Google Cloud project, it seems to be documented/standard practice to embed…

If every time someone got bad advice from their doctor, didn't get advice at all due to a broken medical system, didn't get meds on time due to a broken medical system etc - if that went viral like "omg AI said something wrong to a person", maybe we could possibly improve the…

Regardless of where you are on any political spectrum, I highly recommend this read (readtangle.com/tangle-sixth-a…) followed by considering subscribing to Tangle. They have a podcast (free, but ad-free and some additional content when paid), and written form. The linked article…

It's interesting that I'm effectively incentivized to use an OpenAI competitor in order to use GPT 5 because it hasn't rolled out to me in ChatGPT yet but I can use it through competitors.

Interestingly, almost all my searching is now AI rather than traditional Google search - with one exception. When I want to reliably just get a link to a specific site (e.g. that of company X), where Perplexity and others don't always give that immediately without coaxing.
