We nearly destroyed our planet to get there. Technocrats here applaude the new technological achievements that make life a little easier (less boring?) for the top one percent while willfully ignoring the associated costs for everyone else. Manufacturing these at scale will only make things worse. We are approaching peak decadence ever faster.

New comment by antfarm in "$100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol"

I think these videos are a great way to visualize what is wrong with the "personality" of LLMs: they are shallow, unoriginal, overconfindent.

The videos convey this in a more vivid and direct way than any text answer could. I often have the thought that if Claude were a human colleague, I'd avoid having to work with them.

I don't understand the many Teenage Engineering references in this thread, this design has no soul.

There should be a global registry for books written by generative AI and sold under the name of a "real" (probably non-exisiting) author.

I was expecting a new release of the Hy language (https://hylang.org).

This is a bit of a straw man. There obviously is a huge gap between knowing the human condition from living through it versus just having "read" about it during training.

I hope that not too far in the future a responsible government* will become the bottleneck for innovation in the AI space.

*obviously not the current

I had the same thought after reading the first few sentences. Bathrooms and kitchens especially have to be cleaned regularly, and not just superficially. Otherwise, what the author describes happens.

Take a good look at the codebase you're working on. My guess is there's plenty opportunities to clean up after others, or even yourself.

I had the exact opposite reaction. Around 2006 I came across two of his OSCON Talks on the IT Conversations Network and totally loved them. I must have listened to them hundreds of times and forwarded them to a lot of friends and colleagues. They fundamentally influenced my self-conception as a software developer.
