Wow. I was just planning on getting some food for an event Saturday evening and was looking through Doordash/Grubhub for spots nearby and so many of the menu "pictures" were AI-generated and really made me feel queasy. I had to stop the search after a while because I was getting plain disgusted! Glad it ain't just me (... well, not glad cuz this sucks, but nice to know I'm not particularly sensitive).

Any resources you'd recommend for learning about reasoning about the security of code?

Ha! Same! Still feels like the best way to go about it, really. I know the dream is to one day remove humans from the loop... but I'll enjoy the dialectic while it still seems the most productive!

Well.. we won't have to as we'll have models to do it for us!

goddam, that's beautiful. thanks for sharing!

This is unfortunate, because (and probably much to the article writer's chagrin), I am a fan of making use of the formatting tools available for a given platform. When convenient, I love using an em/en-dash. And, when I'm up for it, italicizing and bolding words to convey prosody. It just feels right.

Now, though, I may be dismissed as an LLM (probably as an older model that can't quite use them formatting tools effectively).

Yea, probably. My "old-man" pet peeve is people using "lol"/"lmao"/etc. as punctuation lol.

As this post has been (to my sensibilities) obviously composed by an LLM, I can tell you: this does not read "human."

What constitutes "this bullshit"?

From where did you hear this rumor?

Yep, this, so far, proven the most promising use of LLMs, to me. I've read about people's Rube Goldberg machine-eqsue setups for getting agentic LLMs to work for them, but I find simply having a dialectic with an LLM to be more fruitful. Rubber-ducking with a duck that quacks back.

This is exactly what I’ve done for my Google settings after feeling more and more upset with what the Youtube homepage was showing me. Not so much in that it was necessarily contrary to what I may have wanted to watch, but more-so me thinking “My god.. is this what I’ve become?”

I now much prefer to open Youtube (quasi)tabula rasa. I still have subscriptions set up so I can follow “vetted” accounts, but for other things I now rely on that intentionality.

The one minor bummer is that Youtube won’t remember your spot in a video, say if you’re watching in your phone and want to continue on your desktop (or vice-versa). Not the biggest hassle to manually check the time and sync it up, though.
