Thing is, this is exactly what all the LLM shit is about anyway, albeit slightly abstracted. They want to steal the collective creative and artistic output all of society and sell it back to us…
There is no way this is a coincidence. I worked with David at @npr.org, and NotebookLM sounds *precisely* like him, including his conversational cadence.
He spent decades perfecting his voice. Now he says Google stole it.
NPR’s David Greene says he was “completely freaked out” when he heard an AI voice that sounded just like his own, and he’s suing over it.

This great piece resonates with my own sense of loss and mourning of my social and professional identity as a computer programmer as the community of software engineers embraces LLMs and continues to sink further into surveillance and behavioral manipulation-based technofascistic business models.

Simple tasks that were solved problems now are a hassle to deal with thanks to this stuff. And I think anyone who has optimism about the underlying technology should focus on fixing that because it's not helping your cause

We really need to be careful of assessing LLMs by what exams they can pass.
Exams are there to measure what a human can do. They are proxies for real world ability, not measures of real world ability.
What if the proxy doesn’t work for LLMs?

Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about
Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

I remember what came before quite well. The Perceptron, Bayes, …
AI has become a monoculture since then, a land where every crop planted is a descendent of the same LLM cultivar.
Monocultures, when they fail, tend to cause famines, like if you rely on a single variety of potato and a blight hits.
