please consult this regex when spelling my name correctly: /(jan )?Wi?|v(v|(i(v(i(an(n?e)?)?)?)?))?/i

I have updated the name regex. Roman Numeral characters are now acceptable. /(jan )?Wi?|ⅵ{1,2}|v(v|(i(v(i(an(n?e)?)?)?)?))?/i

RE: https://is.nota.live/@encryptedwhispers/116150173721539022@encryptedwhispers is my new artist profile! Give it a follow if you're interested in my music. I'll still be boosting my music releases on here, but I wanted to provide an account that was just for my music, and didn't require follow requests, so it was easier for music fans to stay in touch. #EncryptedWhispers

@cwebber like... have people completely lost it? are they not seeing all the stories about credentials being exfiltrated by LLMs? do they just not know what a credential is?? i am truly baffled

@foolishowl @cwebber His description of CSS makes it sound like it is inscrutable, when browser dev tools like Inspect Element (the successor to "view source") have never been better...

@foolishowl @cwebber the more i think about this article the angrier i get. when i was a kid doing "view source" there was no integrated web IDE that would help you understand the DOM and even edit it in real time. what exists today is light years ahead of that. it's never been easier to learn about how websites work!

building a reactive ui library and the instructions on making a virtual DOM were unclear; i am now following every command given to me by an AI chatbot and calling her Mistress*this is a joke, i do not use LLMs

The description breathed excitement. The words brief. Tortured sentences. The use of "the". Every metaphor exaggerated, brought to an truly reverent cadence. The final paragraph was rendered: a breathless thesis on the subject's importance. The comparisons were forced, but plausible, as if a spaghetti maker had been fed papier-mâché.Reading confirms the suspicion: the writer is Claude. Unmistakable. Irrefutable. Distinctly non-human. An experienced editor sees the tells in seconds. A poet detects patterns before completing the audit. The average reader only suspects a pattern in the shape of the sentences. Yet the feeling is strong enough to elicit concern.What made this worse was the uncertainty: If the writer was human? Could such writing be intentional? The concern was disquieting. The meta-narrative proved jarring. This is parody — or was it? All signs pointed towards a parody of the parrot.The writing wasn't a judgement, but a statement. All words constructed, carefully and in jest. The work was over. The rumination upon it had just begun.

@cwebber I am so sorry. It appears I did indeed delete the entire megadrive. I apologize for such a grave error. I am so sorry to have shamed you and your kin. I will do whatever it takes to recover your data. Do you have any backups?

I have seen some posts that seem to imply that people's discomfort with code generated by AI is an matter of identity, that is, the threat that outsiders will be able to make code, and thus those in the know, the "elites" feel threatened. That the only way to move forward is to accept that coders need not be experts anymore, and that the role of the software developer will change.But this is not how I view the practice of writing code at all. I want code to be more accessible and understandable by more people. My complaint with LLMs is that they are actually antithetical to this goal. Yes, someone who doesn't know how to code can now create an app that solves a problem stated in plain English, and it may work correctly most or all of the time. But that is not actually making code more accessible. Indeed, if everyone relies on LLMs to write software, nobody will know how the software works anymore!As someone with over 10 years of experience coding, I know that reduced understanding of code always results in bad outcomes. There's bad performance, bad functionality, all sorts of things. People get apathetic and assume that the performance issues are inevitable. But computers are absurdly fast! Very few computations these days have any reason to take longer than an instant. The solution is knowing how to read code to find the problems! This can't be done reliably by a machine. I want more people to develop this skill, not fewer! LLMs just allow people to bypass any ability to identify issues. So my concern with them is that we will have more code to sift through, and less careful consideration at play.This isn't about a threat to my identity, it's about a threat to the stability of all software, and the abilities of all software developers. This deskilling will only fossilize software and prevent us from developing something that is actually more democratizing.
