Remember? We've been actively trying to forget.

We didn't know how good we had it. Now, we wish the absurdities were just April Fool's Day nonsense...

That's because I know better. You'll figure it out someday as well. It's a little surprising you haven't figured it out already.

I suspect you might know already, even if you don't want to admit it. That's why you're attacking me instead of addressing my claim.

There are other dangers to using AI far worse than just some shoddy code and sketchy documentation, such as cognitive atrophy and loss of brain plasticity, that should concern you as well.

There is also a growing body of evidence that calls the productivity gains into question. Is AI really worth the cost?

Who was it who said that no documentation was better than incorrect documentation? Aside from you in the not-too-distant future, I mean.

Seriously, this is right up there with silly nonsense like "just have AI write the tests as well". It's like you hate your future self and want them to suffer.

Yes, I suppose you can tell it to do that ... it's just not something that it can actually do.

Is it really? Every AI fluffing article we've seen that makes those claims has, after even cursory examination, turned out to be complete horseshit. I suspect that, like most people who still have faith in magical AI, you're not paying too much attention to the output.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

AlphaFold is not an LLM.

Let's say we give them the 16-minute gain (other studies have found a loss[1]). What about the quality of the work produced?[2] What about long-lasting the negative impact on the people who use it?[3,4]

Couldn't find anything, eh? No surprise there at all.

Here's hoping that healthy dose of reality will help you get over your delusions and bizarre obsession with me.

Get well soon!

Okay? That's when it was accepted. It was printed/published in 2024. (I checked.) I also don't know what your "8 months" claim has to do with anything? Do you think that every paper takes years to produce? If you're tenure track, you're expected to publish 2-4 times a year. During active research, people/teams/groups can publish considerably more. I'd say that's just one more thing you don't know anything about, but we knew that about you already. Your ignorance knows no bounds!

You're pretty stupid, so I can only assume that you didn't understand the point I was making. (I must be feeling generous. It's obvious you didn't understand.)

Prove it then. In what "adjacent fields" was this common knowledge? How would you even know? Why is my post is the first time that fact was discussed anywhere online? (You know the reason, you just can't admit it to yourself.) Come on, little troll, show me this discussed anywhere before my post. You can't, of course, because your claim is nonsense and you know it.

The simple fact is that I am exactly what I say I am, a fact that is obvious to everyone, including you, and that makes you crazy. You can deny reality all you want, but it only makes you look even more foolish.

Oh, you silly little troll. you're not fooling anyone. Look at how much energy you've dumped into me, all because I hurt your feelings. You read every single one of my posts going back years, desperately looking for anything you could use denigrate me just to make yourself feel better. Remarkably consistent, aren't they? It's almost like I'm exactly what I claim to be.

If you think your posts make you look "clinical" and detached to the average reader, you're delusional. Well, even more delusional than I thought anyway.

Keep dancing for me, little troll!

This will not end well.

Why is this a problem?

I do not want my software censoring anything I make.

Trump, Putin, and Bibi are all worse for world peace and betterment than any of Iran's leadership (not that Iran's leadership was great).

Silly little troll. Your posts and bizarre obsession with me strongly suggest otherwise.

Sigh... While your ego depends on denying reality, I really am qualified. Yes, I missed the transformer revolution as I hadn't done any work in AI since ~2017 and was (foolishly) basing my comments then on what I expected the state of the field to be at that time. I had some catching up to do, sure, but it was hardly an impossible feat! The only thing I published in 2024 was indeed in AI, coauthored with a friend of mine, a sociologist, who reached out to me because of my background. I know that hurts your feelings, but you'll get over it.

Silly little troll. Did you even read the comments you're so proud of finding? Nothing about the point I was making changes. If anything, it makes my case stronger.

Silly little troll. At the time, it was common knowledge among those of us actually in the field. It was not common knowledge among the rabble until the 'model collapse' paper was published. You can check the dates yourself against this comment. I'm reasonably certain that I point out the fact that this was common knowledge among those of us in the field at some point. You've read every one of my comments due to your weird obsession with me, so I'm sure you've seen it already.

I'm not going to dox myself, so that's as good as it gets. Good luck finding that discussed anywhere online before my comment was posted. Enjoy the inconvenient facts. At least you're young enough that you probably won't stroke out when you finally realize that you've been deluding yourself for months.

Silly little troll. You're dancing for me just fine!

Wait, didn't you say this was "clinical"? There you go, contradicting yourself again.

Keep crying!

Oops! You've contradicted yourself. Too funny!

Did you know that I have immense power over you? It's true. Look how worked up you get. That's because of your bizarre obsession with me. Maybe your a masochist?

You're delusional. You found one mistake on my part that was 1) not foundational in any way and 2) was later corrected. You, on the other had, have never once admitted error, even though the reason you're so obsessed with me is that I pointed out all the nonsense in just one of your posts. Pathetic.

As for my education, here's some food for thought: Since you've read every single one of my posts, do you remember the one where I offhandedly describe model collapse months before the paper that coined the term? How do you think I was able to do that? Am I psychic? Hmm... It couldn't possibly be that it was because I'm exactly what I say I am. I have a bad attitude, after all!

LOL! Enjoy fuming over that for the next few days. Oh, I can post a link for you, if you've forgotten ... or, more likely, you're desperately trying to forget.

Keep crying, little troll. It won't make you any less of a joke!

Oh, you poor deluded little troll. You can believe whatever nonsense makes you feel better. There are, however, a few facts that you can't change that clearly infuriate you. Let me point them out for you:

1. You used to admire me, until ...
2. ... I embarrassed you when I exposed your deep ignorance and lack of proper education.
3. I was only able to do that because, unlike you, I have an actual education.
4. I'm the same person I was when I was your hero.
5. You're still the same sad little troll you were then, aspiring to things well beyond your reach.

This is the big one:

6. You are still obsessed with me. It's sad, really.

Even you don't believe that. You're still fuming over the time I exposed your unfathomable ignorance! Seriously, seek help. You're unbalanced.

That's ... an interesting take. You don't know many educated people, do you?

Who am I kidding? Of course you don't!

Keep crying, little troll. Maybe someday you'll get over it.

The funniest part about your little tantrum is that while you don't know who I am (because psychos like you exist) you definitely know about something I've done.

Like I said. Cry harder, little troll. Pretending I'm not what I very obviously am won't make your life any better.

Also, I'm old. Four years is nothing. (You'll find that out someday if you somehow manage to avoid drowning yourself in the shower.) I wasn't doing any work in AI after 2017, so yes, I missed it. It happens. That doesn't change the fact that you still don't have a clue. That won't make your laughable post history any less embarrassing for you.

You should probably seek professional help. Your weird obsession with me isn't healthy.
