"Even it that'd be the best code and design in the world, I won't use it. I don't trust it."

Nothing about this sentence makes sense. What don't you trust about code you can see and audit yourself? What's untrustworthy about "the best code and design in the world"?

Sometimes I wonder if any of this will even matter in a few years. How many of us compile code and then have to clean up the assembly, or even worry about what a compiler generates as long as it's correct?

You should post the results of your source code audit.

"Disabling attribution of LLM-generated code is fraud, because you’re saying you wrote the code."

Should there by attribution for Google or Stack Overflow copy/paste? Who should we bully about this?

Bluesky is insufferable. Literally any issue in any program is labelled "#vibecoded" by these clearly genius-level engineers who've never shipped a bug.

Is it weird that I want a mono version if this? Looks really great, really well designed.

This is a great idea. Even if you're one of those developers squarely focused on getting the final result working, code quality still matters (to people and LLMs).

Everyone should be doing regular code reviews and this helps a lot.

Maybe don't use the most expensive models on the planet? Maybe use AI like a tool and not this black box that grants wishes?

Low quality, bug laden code has existed long before LLMs and it'll continue to exist long after. Their rationale about avoiding future headaches could literally apply to any open source project they have a dependency on.

This sounds like a gamechanger for speed and efficiency if it can scale up.

"However, our models are nevertheless relatively small and trained on tiny amounts of instruction examples, compared to the scale of modern instruction data and multiple post-training stages used to reinforce the default message-based format. We do think that parallel streams are a conceptually enticing format, and that future work on a larger scale will go further to show these benefits."

New comment by jhack in "The AI industry is discovering that the public hates it"

jhack — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 21:55:38 +0000

To a lot of people AI is just image and text generation. And yes, these uses alone aren't worth the time, money, and energy.

But there are a lot of areas where AI is helping that people don't see, like in medicine. Drug development, cancer research and early detection, CT and MRI analysis, just to name a few. These uses cases are vastly more important but rarely get discussed. It's important to know that AI isn't this one singular thing or else we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Are compute resources so tight they’d want to make their products as unappealing as possible on purpose?

Wonder if this is due to Japan’s marketing laws? Doing it this way exposes more of what’s between the bread.

AI is creating jobs, too, so this information isn’t really valuable if you want a clear image of its impact on employment.
