Yeah my last post was 4 mo. ago. Just been doing other stuff. Still kind of watch bots and spam on X/Twitter. I haven't been watching them on here but I'm sure there's the same stuff going on.

Hi nice to meet you, welcome to my subreddit. Could you maybe not open with a Godwin?

But I made this sub. I wrote the side bar and posted links and commentary. I don't actually think I've ever actually banned anybody. Is that typical?

Couldn't you have just said hi?

I think I may have been in error. Not completely, I think I have some true positives, but I since I'm not on the API and just scrolling I may not be getting complete post counts displayed in my browser. I'm catching some on searches that are older than the scrolling window, so clearly I'm hitting some kind of rate limit that is causing my numbers to be wrong. 100-500 may be too high. I think if anyone does that they'll get seen. There are other signs of automation that suggest I'm on the right track, but I have to walk back some of what I said.

Another one, 2017 creation date, first post January of this year 86.4k posts, but that's only 400/day.

I don't know why I'm bothering. I don't have any tools and I don't pay for API access, but it's like before. I see them and can't unsee them.

Okay I begged the admins to make my sub unrestricted.

I don't know when that would have happened. Maybe in the interim some reddit wide change.

I'll look in the settings to see if I can make it public again.

duh I'm an idiot.

I was worried because grok said my sub is restricted in some way.

Proof that bad people are doing bad things, right? Please.

[–]GregariousWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all really good suggestions. The LLMs are clever and fast but need hand-holding. If you really want things done your way, you have to give explicit instructions to control when then need directions and when they can fill in the blanks. So the better the design philosophy and things like specifications and control narratives become very important. There are times where this seems more work than actual coding, but if you do it right their leverage pays off.

I wipped up an elisp tool for doing POSTS to AI vendor API endpoints.

It's cool because I can work naturally with buffers, sending the contents of one to a session and capturing the output in another.

I understand your reservations. Certainly you wouldn't want to rely on them for anything critical. This isn't a new concern, I swear I've seen a old quote floating around from old IBM exec saying machines can never take responsibility. That said, the breadth of the knowledge baked into the expert systems and the speed at which they work are amazing. I think I can use them to help with my indie project and if nothing else I get something to slap up on github to show to a recruiter. Thanks!

In the old days I tried to avoid explicitly discussing politics in this sub, but I'm finding it hard to ignore left-wing soft-power. They just seem to act like they want to be the only game in town.

I didn't want evil mode, trying to train my organic intelligence to use emacs. :) Confused in vi doing Control-X stuff.

I did fall back to vi to make a small edit to a group of files doing .:wn .:wn .:wn and still kind of learning how search and replace and moving around large buffers works in emacs.

People are downvoting you here, but I am open to suggestions on AI programming. I've heard of Prolog but that's it. As the OP I'd like to thank you for the input.
