  • Snippets are a great use.

    I use StableCode on my phone as a programming tutor for learning Python. It is outstanding in both speed and in accuracy for this task. I have it generate definitions which I copy and paste into Anki the flashcard app. Whenever I’m on a bus or airplane I just start studying. Wish that it could also quiz me interactively.


  • It’s pretty dumb as a deterrent because a single miscalculation and it would set off a chain reaction that ends human civilization.

    Think of it this way: because nuclear missiles are not immediately traceable to their country of origin, each nuclear-armed country will immediately launch at their perceived enemies without validating who attacked them. All it takes is one launch. This might deter a sane person but we are led by narcissists and these are not rational people.


  • It’s a huge disaster in the making. There’s probably a game theory model that explains what’s happening but damned if i know it. AI is a trap.

    At the beginning of LLMs as a consumer tech phase, the big tech companies believed that they would soon generate synthetic data without human labor costs. But synthetic data caused model collapse when used as training data. So they still need humans.

    But now their competitors are using scrapers and summarizers and those are expensive so they have to extract more value from search traffic and that means fewer referrals to sites. Fewer referrals to sites reduces original content and leadabto less traffic and training data for their models.

    The only two ways out are to create an international regulatory body ornto break up facebook, microspft, and google.
