    Seriously.

    Anyway, according to Gemini, I am the executive director for the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. So that's going awesome.

      @silvermoon82 so - surely an LLM is perfectly capable of talking to an LLM - great use of them I'd say - save yourself 2 hours by automating it with "AI" 😉

        I'm tempted.

        Someone today proposed that we "just" need to write some "good coding skills". Feeding slop into slop is much more practical, and if I burn all my tokens and ask for more I think I'll get a raise.

          @silvermoon82 I mean - at this point no one cares about the quality of the output right?

          also it might actually be quite entertaining 🙂

            Heh, I do have a framework for a Markov bot; I could feed that the LLM output and push it back in, as an art piece?

                Lol, yeah. I run one in the wild trained on Sun Tzu, but LLMs did take a lot of the fun out. It does still feel like an accomplishment when the Art of War bot does something coherent, at least.

                  I also made one trained on the New Testament, but Digital Jesus is no fun at all any more so I never launched it.

                    Claude appears on first blush to suck less than Google, it has my work history more or less correct.

                    The externalities remain horrible, of course, and I continue looking for a better job.

                      @silvermoon82 the little I've used them - claude is kind of ok - I've mostly used to get me unstuck from "I can't make myself write this code"! - I've ALSO rewritten most of it.
                      It's definitely "junior developer that is incapable of learning" level

                          Ever read Fred Pohl's story "Midas Plague"?

                          TL;DR: in a culture where you earn the right to consume less, a young professional programs his robots to consume for him.

                          When he gets caught, he's turned into a hero.

                                    I suspect that company leadership invested heavily, probably early on, and now they think they have an interest in it being used.

                                    Of course, what they made was a donation and they'll never see a return, but they're so deep in silicon valley ceo-bro culture they'd never listen to bad news like that.

                                        @silvermoon82 I don't know what I'd even say to that. Probably activate my malicious compliance brain so bad (this is not career advice)

                                        I am torn between using it the minimum to keep my job, and finding a way to pipe one LLM into the other one so I burn my whole token budget and look super productive.

                                          So, I have been told I must block out 2 hours a week to talk to the company chatbots.

                                          Seriously.

                                          Anyway, according to Gemini, I am the executive director for the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. So that's going awesome.
