"Paper", okay, can we please stop calling 3-page arxiv PDFs "papers", there's no evidence this thing was ever even printed on physical paper so even a literal definition of "paper" is disputable.

This has one author there's not even proof anyone except that guy read it before he hit "publish".

Which other field has its equivalent of Nobel prize winners going absolutely bonkers?

Lol go to Nobel disease and Ctrl+F for "Physics", this is not a unique phenomenon

I didn't fight so hard my whole life to dispel the perception of "uncultured nerd" for Sammy boi to destroy it all in two years

they don’t understand the power of bad art that still tries really hard.

AI could never write "My Immortal"

There should be a protagonist, but pronouns were never meant for me. Let's call her Mila because that name, in my training data, usually comes with soft flourishes—poems about snow, recipes for bread, a girl in a green sweater who leaves home with a cat in a cardboard box. Mila fits in the palm of your hand, and her grief is supposed to fit there too. [emph. mine]

First of all, fucking what

Second of all, I am struck by the impressive stupidity of "pronouns were never meant for me", it's almost like satire. What the fuck would that even mean? It the proceeds to use 6 different pronouns like it's taunting you to point it out.

This is stuff that, on a high-school essay, you just highlight wholesale and write "??" next to it because honestly how do you even comment on it

You basically just need to know a lot of rules / tables and how things interact to know what’s possible and the best practices

And to be a programmer you basically just need to know a lot of languages / libraries and how things interact, really easy, barely an inconvenience.

The actual irony is that this is more true than for any other engineering profession since programmers uniquely are not held to any standards whatsoever, so you can have both skilled engineeres and complete buffoons coexist, often within the same office. There should be a Programmers' Guild or something where the experienced master would just slap you and throw you out if you tried something idiotic like using LLMs for code generation.

It's the Saul Goodman effect, if you've grifted before and know you can make such easy money the only way for you to stop is to go through some major internal growth and internalise that it's deeply unethical, but that's so hard, man, why would you do that when you can just raise a billion dollars with a smile

Brain drain the world. Work visas for every person who can produce more than they consume. I’m talking doubling the US population, bringing in all the factory workers, farmers, miners, engineers, literally anyone who produces value.

Okay, I mean, that's coherent policy, I really don't like the caveats of "produces more than they consume" cause how do you quantify that, but yes, immigration is actually good...

Can we raise the average IQ of America to be higher than China?

aaaand it's eugenics, fuck, how does this keep happening

Introducing my new startup, bAIas, which allows you to automate the tedium of racism and unlock infinite potential by synergising with misogyny. We're planning to add a premium tier for transphobia later this year.

It's infinite monkeys but every time they output coherent English you give them bananas to incentivise them towards that

Look at it, Doodle AG Scheduling Software Pro Annual Subscription per User, and weep

It's reacting to the presentation, not you specifically. I think many of the other comments hit on how he goes waaay too far in his criticism, but I wouldn't have written what I wrote if it wasn't a wider sentiment I encountered a few times already.
