@edzitron.com this guy says so much I find really just so valuable about AI from a sober and researched perspective. You should check this one out in particular! youtu.be/QWngvJnoPJA?...

@edzitron.com what are your thoughts on "artisan development?" Essentially, using no LLM contributions to your codebase, so your developers don't suffer from skill decay and code's maintainable. Do you think there's a place for that, or is consumer sentiment too based on speed over quality, now?

We may not be living in the darkest timeline, but we sure are living in the dumbest.

Oh look, societal collapse in an infographic @edzitron.com my parasocial fascination with you demands I at least tag you in this nonsense

youtube.com/watch?v=o6JL... @edzitron.com's most recent episode really inspired me to finally release this. My next one will be better, but hopefully y'all enjoy this

@edzitron.com Thank you for your most recent monologue. It was really wonderful to hear where you're coming from and the positive changes that have been made in your life by your work. I hope that continues to be the case for you. I know your work has made a huge difference for me and so many others

Associative Procedural Engines are "filler" generators. If you want your work, your public face, to give people the sensation you had watching the last filler episode of your favorite show or podcast or story, it's fine. Most of us want better.

@edzitron.com I loved your interview with Karen Hao. The part about pseudo-religious reverence within the AI community was excellent; I've really observed the same frantic fear or worship in the people in my field and it's really fucking dangerous. They genuinely believe their own bullshit.

@edzitron.com have you seen this yet? www.theregister.com/2025/04/29/g...

youtube.com/watch?v=rFGc... This is still the case. This will always be the case for Associative Procedural Engines. Until we grow the fuck up and look for a paradigm shift in AI research AWAY from APEs, this is actively holding AI research and useful research, and development as a whole, back.

A small increase in performance accelerate a timeline of 15 years to 6, because "surely more can be gained here," a small increase in efficacy drops it to 1 for the same reason. With theoretical timelines, anyone with stake in the goal will overstate how close that goal is with every advance. 2/2

There is a distinct problem encountered by fields built around a theoretical possibility, like AI. You are inherently motivated to believe that you are closer to your theoretical future than you are. This easily overtakes any reason you have at the slightest sign of advancement. 1/2

Beyond tired of Associative Procedural Engine generated press releases, APE generated ad campaigns, APE generated applications, APE generated "art" This is enshittification's final form; a society defined by ambivalent avoidance and satisfaction with mediocrity, so long as it's delivered quicker

Venture capital is the worst thing for our economy, and the most violently negative force possible for the long term sustainability of an economy. Future generations will marvel that we made an entire system incentivizing the satisfaction of men in suits far before thinking about actual customers.

I'm starting a new business model; artisan software development. No LLM contributions, no copy-pasting code, just human developers making human software. Crazy? Maybe. But honestly, I truly believe that the future, the cutting edge, isn't fancy autocomplete. The future is still human.
