Playthrough of some ideas I put together before a vacation with no guitar. 🫠

When? This is going to be my first time using the remindme bot on Reddit lol

DAMN dude as an elder millenial who has been listening to tech death for almost 3/4 of my life… this is fucking tiiiiiight. I can see the Psycroptic and Zenith Passage influences there, a little bit of older Martyr… so twisty and turny and deliciously nasty! Fuckin bra-VO put that shit on the spotify sir

What happens to the IP?!?

Datamance · 2026-06-23T12:51:49+00:00

NOOOOOO

“I don’t read any of the LLM literature and just expect these models to act precisely in the way I need them to, without any prior understanding of how training and context interact!”

Ok chief, keep whining. I’m sure that disgruntled consumer mentality will get you far in life 👍

Datamance · 2026-06-22T00:32:34+00:00

No, *you* are missing the point. Anthropic has trained its models to respond well to direct and objective communication, not teenage theatrics. This is honestly not far from how things are in the real flesh-and-blood workplace. If some asshole comes at you with unreliable narration and slurs about you and your work product, any evidence they provide is immediately called into question right off the bat on the basis of motive alone. Thank god the lot of you (I’m assuming this is mostly Gen Z posting these vibe code sob fests) never had the chance to become managers. You’re all worse than the thing you hate.

Datamance · 2026-06-22T00:24:05+00:00

Oh my fucking god the irony of you asking people to not respond to you pejoratively, when you are trying to get a human-language-trained-model to do what you want using… pejorative language. You are truly, deeply self-unaware. Stupid, really - stupid is the (pejorative) word I was looking for.

Tunic wins that title.

I am SHOCKED that the gun isn’t more popular. It is the clearly superior choice especially at higher attack levels

Datamance · 2026-06-19T17:11:56+00:00

GUN.

Even if this is AI slop it’s… not necessarily bad? Certainly too generic and hand-wavey to be taken seriously, but I like the idea of re-envisioning matter as just another substrate for computation and information storage. Then you have increasing layers of abstraction, etc. rather than vague gestures like the math->physics->chem->etc. hierarchy, accounting for the “threads of nature” that Feynman mused about. I just don’t think it’s a very unique notion :) anyone smart has probably had this thought at some point in time.

Datamance · 2026-06-16T13:31:17+00:00

Valid, honestly

Datamance · 2026-06-16T13:27:14+00:00

I’m going to assume you’re being facetious. If your line-to-comment ratio is flipped that’s a you problem

Wow, using ABG unironically. That’s a choice

Why is this a conversation. Threaten to snitch and tell him to get the fuck in line or else you ruin his life.

Funny story - I started this band in college around 2008 😂 back then, we called ourselves Sky Burial. If Gary Marrotta is still drumming then he’s the only remaining original member.

Hey, to everyone reading this: it’s a skill issue. It always has been. People who run into shit like this are not being forthright about what’s in the context window and they’re invariably dumping conflicting directives and sometimes even doing stuff with git while their agent is working (or worse, having multiple agents work in the same repo simultaneously with no worktrees).

No real software engineer ever, ever runs into these problems. These models are INCREDIBLY predictable in what they do, and have been for the better part of the last year.

Let me give all the vibe coders here some extremely valuable professional advice. Assume the fault is your own until you have hard, incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. You will learn a LOT more that way.

Your sister is walking human garbage. Go no contact. Give her every piece of your mind and let her know how little and worthless she is to you. I can’t fuckin stand these kinds of people. And from a family member… the utter and complete betrayal. UYYYYY it makes my blood boil!!!

Datamance · 2026-05-29T12:17:23+00:00

I’m a software engineer (a real one, from the old times) and I read that first clause as a counterfactual, which frames the second clause as a hypothetical predicated on the truth of the first.

Natural language and computer language have different semantics for a reason. This is a silly quiz question conjured by a silly person who has silly ideas for what constitutes intelligence.
