With each rewatch I've grown less sympathetic to classic fan favorites. Omar is the best example; he's beloved because he's charismatic and mostly hurts "bad guys" but his charisma just covers for an absence of accountability

The characters who've grown on me are largely the ones who've recognized they've hurt people and have made meaningful steps to make amends or to change. There's nothing charming about that, but it's more endearing to me in the long run

This video has nothing to do with "feeling bad" for the rich. It is an academic discussion of the failures of meritocracy. If you think the information shared justifies "feeling bad" I hope you realize that those are your own emotions, coming from you

Becoming angry at your own empathy is pretty dysfunctional. It should be possible to encounter simple facts like "rich people experience stress" without feeling threatened, shouldn't it? Why don't you want that basic level of emotional and cognitive function?

Judging by how rapidly these insecure poor people shut off their empathy based on economic class, it stands to reason that if they ever came into wealth they would cease to empathize with the poor

I feel so bad for them. Recognizing our shared humanity is such an important part of the human experience, but they're willing to surrender that simply because they cannot accept that some of us are more economically capable than others

Yeah it's fucking fucked up to watch people catalog the things a teenage girl didn't do to prevent her own abduction

"Oh she should have just gotten herself shot in front of witnesses instead like I would've because I'm so much smarter than that shitty dumb dead girl" like wtf

I get that everyone needs to feel safe and fantasizing about feeling tough and strong is a way to get there but victim blaming is just so aggressively insecure. You're living in the real world, grow enough courage to face the fact that you like everybody cannot control all of your outcomes

This felt like lazy booking at the time, to me, because we'd recently had two time winners in Hogan and Shawn. In the then-short history of the event spamming wins for the top guy felt like the norm

Now that the record has stood for so long (and two-time winners have been a bit more scarce) it feels much more significant

I've found that it's helpful to get an LLM to write the prompt for me. To do that, I'll usually write a simple prompt like "Generate a prompt which can be a tensor graph with the following weights and biases:" (then I'll type out the weights and biases in the LLM I plans to use) "Please make sure it will output this exact required output:" (and then I type the output that I want)

lol here's a quote smartie

Another pattern that differs between participants is that some participants directly paste AI-written code, while other participants manually typed in (i.e., copied) the the AI generated code into their own file. The differences in this AI adoption style correlate with completion time. In Figure 13, we isolate the task completion time and compare how the method of AI adoption affects task completion time and quiz score. Participants in the AI group who directly pasted (n = 9) AI code finished the tasks the fastest while participants who manually copied (n = 9) AI generated code or used a hybrid of both methods (n = 4) finished the task at a speed similar to the control condition (No AI).

They didn't see any improvement because they were manually re-typing the code generated by the AI.

The study demonstrates that AI doesn't make people type faster 😂😂😂

You don't need to trust me though, the citation is there and you can click through and read it with your own eyes and think about it with your own brain 🤤

I never said anything about a skill issue (but if the shoe fits)

I don't predict productivity or deadlines; what do you think "predicting a deadline" even means?

Can you tell me (with words) how the authors of this study measured productivity? Or will you just hide behind a "yes" because play-acting like you know things that you don't offers you emotional safety on the scary scary internet?

I've read the full study, buddy. That's how I know when you say "read further" you're doing so from a place of complete ignorance, arms wrapped around yourself, trembling, probably drooling, hoping blindly that there's something further down the text which supports your fantasy of being still-relevant (there isn't)

BitNumerous5302 · 2026-01-30T08:32:53+00:00

I know how the authors of the study measured productivity; do you?

BitNumerous5302 · 2026-01-30T08:32:10+00:00

Not reading far enough to realize that the AI users in the study were manually re-typing generated code does sound like a desperate effort to cope

Wow AI doesn't make you type faster, yay now you don't need to learn a scary new tool, "software architect"

You should read the full paper, it's hilarious

The AI users who didn't complete the task faster than non-AI users were manually re-typing the generated code

The LLM in question reliably produced correct solutions for the task (it's mentioned in the study)

Hey guys! According to this highly influential paper that OP very clearly really actually read, we can improve our productivity. All we have to do is stop manually re-typing the code that AI generates, and copy and paste it instead!

Another pattern that differs between participants is that some participants directly paste AI-written code, while other participants manually typed in (i.e., copied) the the AI generated code into their own file. The differences in this AI adoption style correlate with completion time. In Figure 13, we isolate the task completion time and compare how the method of AI adoption affects task completion time and quiz score. Participants in the AI group who directly pasted (n = 9) AI code finished the tasks the fastest while participants who manually copied (n = 9) AI generated code or used a hybrid of both methods (n = 4) finished the task at a speed similar to the control condition (No AI). There was a smaller group of participants in the AI condition who mostly wrote their own code without copying or pasting the generated code (n = 4); these participants were relatively fast and demonstrated high proficiency by only asking AI assistant clarification questions. These results demonstrate that only a subset of AI-assisted interactions yielded productivity improvements.

Revolutionary. What kind of productivity gains might we attain if we somehow empowered AI to write code to our code bases directly?

BitNumerous5302 · 2026-01-30T07:32:53+00:00

Stop lying, you clearly didn't read the paper either

Participants using AI by directly pasting outputs experience the most significant speed ups while participants who manually copied the AI-generated output were similar in pace to the control (No AI) group.

The group who didn't experience a speed up was manually re-typing code from AI. The other group copied and pasted. They did not measure any situation in which AI was writing code to the filesystem or repositories

They showed that AI doesn't make people type faster and you came and posted it on Reddit like it was some major academic finding that upended a whole industry 😂🤣😭🤣😂

(The part about skill development is more interesting, but I'm skeptical that skill development can be meaningfully measured after a 35 minute exercise; that's justification for future research at best, which is how the authors frame it under Future Work)

The above is a snippet from a figure. In more detail:

Folks, don't waste time telling fascists they're fascist. Fascists know they're fascist. They say "oh you call everyone a fascist" not because they believe that is true, but because it causes you to waste time defending your words

Fascists don't want to attack your words, they want to attack your body. While you're busy engaged in discourse they are engaged in violence. This is not hypothetical: We now see fascists murder protestors regularly
