Because peeps are doing HNDL (harvest now, decrypt later) today. They are intercepting your traffic and storing it until they can break crypto. They're doing that today. And they've been doing it for a while.

There are contexts in which that's an unacceptable level of risk.

This is just an incoherent bluster. Calm down.

You can still ftp some PHP files and it will just work - there are plenty of services that offer that.

You don't need to shit your files across buckets and provision 20 IAM profiles - noone's forcing you to do that and that is not how you host a web app.

If you're fond of the ftp-based hosting days, those services are available and they will happily take your money.

If you’re not learning with AI in play, you sure as sunshine wont be learning anything without AI

It’s when we put arbitrarily impossible deadlines that AI users learn nothing

If they did, they would’ve paused new feature development a long time ago and redirected that resource towards scaling the platform. And yet they’ve been releasing tonedeaf features more than ever.

This isn’t unreasonable at all. AI has promised to cause an unprecedented, continuous disruption to the working class. “Being replaced by robots” - a topic anyone of working age is very familiar with. Why would you be surprised there exists a proportionate amount of pushback in the form of incoherent rhetoric?

What does crypto have to do with this? DuPont has sunk billions into synthetics that were looking for a business model and ultimately proved useless. Why not compare AI to that?

Think about what you’re saying for a moment. Play that scenario out in your head.

This is approaching “I don’t want a synthetic diamond, I want the real thing” levels of lunacy

There will come a time, very soon, where you wont be able to tell the difference, and what then?

Honestly sounds to me like you have a bone to pick with AI in general. Negative sentiment on a particular LLM authored blog post muddies the waters and misrepresents your valid points. Not the way to do this IMO. Happy to be corrected.

I hear you, and agree with your points, but do have to ask - what’s the point in complaining? See LLM slop as you called it, ignore it and move on. There’s plenty of more intimately authored content out there.

I don’t have access to my flavor of LLM on the train nor the time or budget to have it do the research and summary for me

Why are we all of a sudden pretending like pre-LLM era blogs were these pristinely well written pieces of art or even that effort and care was put into them? In most cases they were significantly less coherent and incomplete. Don’t get me started on the mess that was the communication of this particular company or one of their competitors like AWS.

Can you elaborate? I read it, found the concepts well explained, walked away better informed.

Responding to alleged slop with more slop doesn’t decrease the total amount of slop on the internet.

Should they disclose the use of a spellchecker? A translation app? Gramarly? A writing tutor?

Why should they disclose how much AI was used to write an article?
