- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 1 week ago:
Everything an LLM outputs is hallucinated. That’s how it works. Sometimes the hallucination matches reality, sometimes it doesn’t.

Audiobooks for the deaf? Excuse me?
- Comment on Google is shaking up its compensation to incentivize higher performance 3 weeks ago:
I should know, I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years and an engineering manager for over 10. I’ve promoted many engineers.
I don’t know what L4 and L5 map to in your company, but usually the gap between levels widens the higher the level. It’s much easier to go from entry-level (recent graduate) to mid-level, than from senior to staff. The skills required to make that jump are much harder to acquire, there’s less opportunities to put them in practice and a lot more dependencies on external factors you don’t have control over.

the ability to penetrate bands
That’s traditionally called “promotion”. So they’re not promoting employees anymore?

There’s very few people on the internet who I trust enough to give them complete control of my browser. Randall is definitely one of them, probably the top one.
Spam away sir.

Yeah, that middle row works incredibly well on its own, but he needed to add some geek angle or it wouldn’t be xkcd. :)

Phones bought in the US work in Europe and vice versa.

No, he’s right, LLMs match the definition of AI. Terms like AI and AGI are not made up by corporations, they have specific meanings in computer science.
- Comment on Google is now watermarking its AI-generated text. 6 months ago:
That’s not how it works though.
- Comment on The Death of the Junior Developer 6 months ago:
That’s not just engineering but also product and support. But yes, each one of those tasks are already on its way to being possible today, and agentic planning and coordination could make it feasible in much less time than you think. Until we get AGI /ASI it’ll need some human supervision, but not a lot more than that.
- Comment on The Death of the Junior Developer 6 months ago:
enough of the seniors have left and shit hits the fan
That was my first though also, but then I realized in that timespan the coding assistants will be able to replace the senior engineers as well. If not earlier.

Saying you know who said is, that’s the claim, and that’s an extraordinary claim.
- Comment on Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims 7 months ago:
No, because it’s an extraordinary claim.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 7 months ago:
Ah, gotcha, and I agree
- Comment on Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims 7 months ago:
That is the extraordinary evidence being referenced.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 7 months ago:
Sorry, you misunderstood my comment, which was very badly worded.
I meant to imply that you, an experienced developer, didn’t get “scammed” by the LLM, and that the difference between you and the dev you mentioned is that you know how to program.
I was trying to make the point that the issue is not the LLM but the developer using it.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 7 months ago:
Did you get scammed by the LLM? If not, what’s the difference between you and the dev you mentioned?
