I stepped away from the keyboard to cool off and I just wanted to apologize for being a bit mean here. I am sorry. I did have a bad experience, but not everybody in any field is bad. Have a good day as well.

How are you trying to help me lol? I brought up Altman because he's one of the heroes of the AI movement. For some reason anything I add to the conversation isn't a part of it though. So I know many bad people involved in it and y

Yea, because I actually know many, and they're not good people. Also good job missing that this thread is about Altman and friends in addition to every one involved in it. Satvik here just thinks nobody on the internet with a grievance

That's the larp I was talking about. Following fads and being a scammer is not curiosity in my book.

I couldn't resist... Like the kid at facebook who's buddies with Altman so gets to be a billionare? Like Altman himself (when did he enter the field again? Oh yea he was a crypto huckster). Like everyone I've ever met in the

You're right. Signing off for the day.

Fully expecting to get banned for my comment, but I'll just go on. Look at the silicon valley heroes and they're all business types. There's a few rare exceptions.

Who are you arguing against? When did I say it wouldn't? I'm glad you like it. No need to fight me?

The title has always existed. I meant the obsession about being a "a junior" or "a senior", like gaining an achievement in a video game or something. I just thought every young person was a junior engineer and every old

(I know you're replying to another guy but I just saw this.) I've been programming for 20 years, but I like the LLM as a learning assistant. The part I don't like is when you just come up with craftier and craftier ways to ye

FWIW, The New York Post video on this said he will get the reward.

I won't insult the man, but I never liked Steve Jobs. I'd rather be Wozniak in that story. "taste, judgment, curiosity, or building good things with other people" Taste is susceptible to turning into a vibes / popul

Inflate whose ego? Mine? It seemed more like a swipe than ego-inflation, but I was happy to see the article anyway.

Another thing I might throw out there is that there are so many domains and niches out there that person A and person B are almost certainly having genuinely different experiences with the same tools. So when person A says "wow this is

I have wondered about that actually. Thanks, I'll read that, looks interesting. Surely Donald Knuth and John Carmack are genuine masters though? There's the Elon Musk theory of mastery where everyone says you're great, but yo

When did this "junior/senior" lingo get cool? I don't remember it being used when I was young. Maybe the leet code trend brought on a sort of gamification of the profession, with ranks etc..?

To each his own, but multi-tasking feels bad to me. I want to spend my life pursuing mastery of a craft, not lazily delegating. Not that everyone should have the same goals, but the mastery route feels like it's dying off. It makes me

What I gathered is that Chomsky was genuinely friends with Epstein, even after the sex crimes had been revealed (which is disturbing), but that there's no evidence Chomsky himself did anything criminal or immoral beyond being friends w

Why do companies pay the commercial license instead of just generating a copycat? Genuinely curious.

Thank! Yes I won't give up. The plan now is to focus on getting an income and try again in the future.

I did make lots of design documents and sub-demos. I think I could have been cleverer about finding smaller pieces of the project which could be deliverables in themselves and which the later project could depend on as imported libraries.

I think my fatal error was trying to make something based on "novel science" (I'll be similarly vague). It was an extremely hard project to be fair to the AI. It is my life goal to make that project though. I'm not total

I'm just extremely skeptical about that because I had many ideas like that and it still ended up being miserable. Maybe with Opus 4.5 things would go better though. I did choose an extremely ambitious project to be fair. If I were to t

"the last couple weeks" When I ran this experiment it was pretty exhilarating for a while. Eventually it turned into QA testing the work of a bad engineer and became exhausting. Since I had sunken so much time into it I felt prett
