I've wasted time, and watched many developers waste time, going round and round in circles with "AI" coding assistants trying to get the cat to lay eggs.
There are always going to be things LLMs simply can't do, because the training data just isn't there.

A very common experience for LLM users is what I call the “doom loop”. You ask the model to do something, it gets it wrong. You say “That’s wrong”, and it apologises ,…

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.
🚨In Nature🚨
Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias?
We this test empirically & find that conservatives
* ARE suspended more
* BUT share more misinfo
So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...
