IME the best approach is keeping prompts as narrow and constrained as possible. its better to structure your own methods etc in a DD, and have implementation details fleshed out under supervision, rather than letting the agent create 30 new methods with unwanted/unused/unprompted arguments. once it starts thinking for more than a minute, i'm already a bit worried, and having it suggest or commit more than 100 lines at a time almost always ends up with more than what I asked for. im sure folks are using it for much larger tasks than what im referring to but this is my experience with small projects

WHAT are you doing, step-peers?!

Author was doing such a good write-up, until I saw repeated AI syntax "its not x, but y" and "a is b. b is c. and, c is the final thing in this series of short, punchy sentences". Really tired of this. Why is it so hard to just write naturally? Maybe I'm just easily triggered


That was writing naturally until AI stole it from us.


Maybe I overestimated how much was used here. I guess I'm so burned out by seeing it everywhere else, it's becoming hard to tell what's what.

I understand AI is trained on human output but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to distinguish between the two. I've seen blogs where this particular syntax "That's not x - it's actually y" is repeated 10+ times. That's not normal human writing. Admit I picked a bad example here, just read 5 AI articles in a row before this one.

the comments can't even be real. "I can’t- this is amazing… and the funniest thing that ever happened. Reality is literally breaking rn"

shit makes me want to go outside and fantasize about living in a primitive society


Here's a better question, in line with your positioning... Is Palantir necessary to a "competent government"

I think you know the answer to that.


The government is notoriously terrible at tech. Are you debating that? Out of the top tech talent over the last 20 years, how many of them do you suppose work in FAANG vs the US government?

I'm not saying Palantir specifically is necessary, but I do think finding avenues for Silicon valley to help the US government is necessary for them to be tech competent.


He answered your question perfectly now you're rolling your eyes at the concept of due process, which has little to do with the original conversation (why is Palantir bad?) Do you just like being contrarian?


That person isjustifying using deadly force on someone who was driving away, by the command of said shooter. This is the exact kind of person who is the reason this regime isn't unilaterally overturned.


I'm so tired of this Idiocracy timeline. This doesn't even read like a real headline. Sometimes I think it's unfortunate that radical, violent, far left extremists apparently stopped existing, or are in hiding. Seems like the only remaining option. Seriously, I don't condone violence or anything, it's just this feeling I'm left with of like "someone please do SOMETHING". The real threat to the administration should be we the people, not Venezuela, or Denmark, or immigrants, etc. But nobody wants to be ICEd, suicided, or disappeared. Very scary precedent.. Russia vibes


I absolutely can't deal with sync conflicts, they are confusing and infuriating. So I don't use any form of automatic cloud sync, anywhere. Once you accidentally overwrite a file with an older version open on another system, its hard to go back to that nonsense


I created a jazz fusion supergroup in Suno capable of impossibly tight jamming. I believe the synth player has 8 arms. I'm not even selling it as an output of my own creativity - even though I partially feel like it was - but rather, it was just fun to make! I had a ton of fun with it, even downloaded stems and mixed a lot in a DAW. I still LOL at how fresh some of it is. Suno rocks. Top 40 is garbage anyways, and the best music out right now are live bands, imo, so I don't feel that I'm encroaching on anyone else's artistic opportunity (hopefully) by doing these Suno projects.

That said, I haven't shown it to anyone... I'm not trying to make anyone mad. But what's the point of working on any music, AI or not, if nobody wants to hear it? This was a bit of a depressing realization for someone who was always fearful of letting anyone listen to my own actual music. It doesn't matter how much I piloted the prompt, or mixed down the stems, and how good the final result is, because at the end of the day, its just AI... I really don't know how to feel about the whole thing - there are legitimate arguments against AI for creative use, it's hard to not feel like a hypocrite or something for even using it..


I'm somewhat of an AI-hater - maybe a bit more lukewarm about it than others - but I thought gaming (RPGs specifically) was a perfect use case for AI just because of dynamic dialogue.
