Been sitting on this one for a while. Just in general. It’s something I’ve talked a lot about with some people, but never blogged or did a public talk about. Partially because I don’t need people getting mad at me for what I think about Rails, heh

As a comms expert and socialist, my grand theory of LLMs/Copilot/etc is that the reason people look at the garbage these machines produce and go "this looks plausible and coherent" is because a huge amount of the text humans produce in their actual jobs is also insubstantial waffle 🧵
