lmao... when you give an LLM unlimited power and an ill-defined role, it assumes the position of a shitty project manager, of course
It’s learning capabilities are clearly unrivaled
I kinda feel like GPT is if you skipped college and just went with the apprenticeship strategy but it’s apprenticeship was with Reddit posts
Good enough but every now and then has some wildly inaccurate shit sprinkled in just enough to make you question the integrity of the whole thing.
LLMs (unless implemented with general knowledge AI) will never be accurate or more than a novelty toy. It’s close to being iRobot but right now it’s just an abacus. The future won’t be about one model, it’ll be about orchestration of models or the development of model ecosystems to make a better overall symphony as the product/tool

I see Bing horribly confabulate all the time (and sometimes subsequently gaslight).
Thus I was surprised at last month’s Klarna news:
Wonder what’s going on behind the scenes.
I laughed my ass off at this! So well put!
Today, my last 3 messages to Gemini were all pretty much: "cool! We're agreed on the framework and tone etc in which you'll communicate this thing to me. Now please, create the fucking thing already"
Oh! I can do better than the LLM to write code:
// TODO (Linus Torvalds) write this app for me, kthxbye.From : [email protected]
🖕
@[email protected] has a fedi account.
Well, nVidia just got told.
Copilot isn't wrong, they are the best person for the task. 🤷
AI: "Can I copy your work?"
Phil: "Just don't make it obvious."
AI:
Oh, great. Now it’s able to copy being lazy and confused, too. Fuck!
Oh nice! Does this exist for EU as well?
Can someone explain why April is nervous about having the username April? I don't get it
Other people reading ToDo(April) will probably assume that feature is slated for April, the month.
Thank you, that makes sense.
Because if you didn’t know better, someone seeing “TODO(April)” would probably assume it means “do this sometime in April.” Especially since we’re in the middle of March, with April just around the corner. She’s probably about to get e-mail bombed by git requests.

might start a war.
Oh so it's like C.O.O.K.S.!
lol, did you post Xcrement of a post from Bluesky.
im so sad that people are going to bluesky instead of mastadon
Does anybody mind explaining, how this might have happened?
Copilot is a LLM. So it's just predicting what should come next, word by word, based off the data its been fed. It has no concept of whether or not its answer makes sense.
So if you've scraped a bunch of open source github projects that this guy has worked on, he probably has a lot of TODOs assigned to him in various projects. When Copilot sees you typing "TODO(" it tries to predict what the nextthing you're going to type is. And a common thing to follow "TODO(" in it's data set is this guy's username, so it goes ahead and suggests it, whether or not the guy is actually on the project and suggesting him would make any sort of sense.
It’s no different from GPT knowing the plot of Aliens or who played the main role in Matilda.
It's seen enough code to recognise the pattern, it knows an author name goes in there, and Phil Nash is likely a prolific enough author that it just plopped his name in there. It's not intelligence, just patterns.
"Yeah this sounds like a Phil Nash sort of problem, I'll just stick him in here."
The other answers are great, but if I were to be a bit more laconic:
Copilot is spicy autocorrect. It autocorrected that todo to insert that guy's name because he gets a lot of todos.
