Yeah, it happened to me a number of times on queries where I was clearly looking for information, not company. Even more bizarrely, it's often compelled to answer with some flavor of "I won't answer". For example:
I know their goal is to make these as relevant and useful as possible, but in my mind, not everything needs to be passed down to an LLM. I guess Google disagrees.
A subset of the builders of the current generation of AI systems literally hold death cult beliefs i.e. that all humans should effectuate the transition to a world run by only AI, without humans at all. These are the worst people in the world to be driving advanced AI development, from any reasonable human perspective.
On a question of morals, conventionally bad people generally don’t desire the end of all humanity.
I built a tool to see if people or ai agents were opening my links. I kept sharing links, pitch decks, demos, articles, or videos and wondering whether anyone actually opened them or if they used AI for it. There weren't really any good tools to do help with this for generic links, so I built LemonLink to get a shareable link for any url that shows whether a human or AI opened it and when. pls try to break this and lmk how I can improve it
If it’s one of thing that you want just for English to bash shell commands, I will create AST, it is deterministic, exceptionally fast, no tokens so no need to fine tune existing model, please let me know your thoughts.
…what makes you think people are implementing them less efficiently? I’d be inclined to agree with you but your reply reeks of “no true Scotsman” strawman arguments that it’s hard to take it seriously.

Simon Morris touched on this when discussing the success of Bittorrent.
TL;DR projects that publicly advertise an intent to bypass laws face severe legal regulatory risk, whereas success relies on anonymous creators or accidental utility.
I understand the “one more abstraction” aspect, and thoroughly agree with you, though it seems counter-productive and rather illogical to me to never read code and be proud of it. It’s one thing to leave the grunt work to the AI, but to not even review code? That sounds like a bad idea.
This is also a deep philosophical debate. I just meant that your decisions are based on internal and external circumstances, that are based on the physical world. Your decision is an effect of multiple causes (e.g. your mood, your beliefs, state of chemicals in your brain, weather, news that you’ve seen in tv, your genes, your childhood memories, etc). The “free will” as commonly understood would be then an independent act, a miracle that defies the constraints of physical world.
I’ve read some pretty compelling arguments that GRRM developed his work in writers rooms and much of his content is ghostwritten. I think I recall reading one of his employees emphasizing what a great deal maker he was and how much aptitude he had for securing licensing agreements. There wasn’t much talk about literary genius.
So given that the literary work was outsourced, anyway, is it really that big of a deal that it’s getting outsourced to a machine? If that still bothers you, then how much machine assistance is too much? We’re already using Word processors, spell checkers, and other tools that have taken away much of the human effort. These language models don’t really have a strong sense of personal agency or what ought to be written, but they can fill out the details from a high-level schematic, which is probably, at best, what the author was doing with other team members.
The button-top vs flat-top distinction trips a lot of people up here: many bike lights ship with protected button-top 18650s, and a bare flat-top cell is a few mm shorter, so it can rattle or lose contact over bumps even though it's nominally the same battery. The other gotcha is cells with welded solder tabs vs spring contacts - if the original pack is tab-welded, a drop-in replacement sometimes needs a shim to make reliable contact. Worth checking both before ordering the replacement cell.
The wider point stands though: a bike light is a battery, an LED, and a switch, and the battery dying first is the most repairable failure mode there is.
I see where you’re getting at, but AI still requires someone to prompt it to do something. It has no free will so the meat proxy, as you put it, is still relevant and necessary.
Not sure why the author is so arrogantly proud of not doing the absolute bare minimum expected of a developer (of any rank), though? Maybe a click-bait strategy? So weird.
Never thought I’d see “I’m bad at my job” used as a badge of honour.
Not bad, but that “login or sign up” banner fixed to the bottom of the screen covering about 15-20% of the content with no way to hide it is just a nagging and eyesore. Please, remove or rethink it.
