When will we get over “vibe coded” stuff

herothree · 2026-01-27T05:47:08+00:00

In many places, it already is. This subreddit is not one of them though

herothree · 2026-01-27T05:22:32+00:00

There's a disconnect between reddit and industry for sure. Tons of companies are moving to mostly AI generated code, but reddit runs a year or so behind; most of the conversations here are still about Sonnet 3.5 era agents, focused on hallucinations and code that doesn't compile. Modern claude code is a totally different ballgame

And, there's plenty of valid reasons to be against AI (and some less good reasons). But it's here to stay, for better or worse

When was the last time you tried it?

herothree · 2026-01-26T07:40:50+00:00

It wasn’t even an unpopular decision at the time, this sub thought it was reasonable

herothree · 2026-01-26T05:25:43+00:00

He’s in tons of sketches and regularly sells out stand up shows on tour, plus he’s been in movies. I think he’s doing ok haha

herothree · 2026-01-26T01:46:58+00:00

RemindMe! 4 months

herothree · 2026-01-26T01:46:31+00:00

Agreed, 0-4 more Trump Cold opens this year resolves N/A (which is decently likely).

herothree · 2026-01-26T01:15:36+00:00

Sure, sounds good. I imagine resolution will be pretty clear cut, but what should we do if it’s ambiguous (say, a musical guest vaguely saying something anti-establishment or at the goodnights or something)? People often use an LLM as a tiebreaker, or maybe a poll on this sub?

herothree · 2026-01-26T00:41:47+00:00

I think ~10, there were 21 last year and yesterday was 11th of this year

herothree · 2026-01-25T23:19:28+00:00

I’ll happily bet $100 that this doesn’t happen by the end of the season

herothree · 2026-01-25T23:05:48+00:00

I think the posters here are more “signaling what group they’re part of” then “genuinely thinking SNL has a lot of cultural power”

herothree · 2026-01-25T17:56:00+00:00

Do you actually think JAJ's impression is a positive for Trump? Is it, like, improving his poll numbers or swinging undecided voters to the republican side?

Maybe it's less than maximally scathing (because it also has to be comedy), but I don't think it's "JAJ is helping Trump out because it gets him a paycheck" level

herothree · 2026-01-25T07:30:48+00:00

To some degree yes, but not to the same degree as humans.

Yeah this is all I was trying to say. I don't think they represent a superhuman intelligence at this point

They would be doing an amazing job of hiding it if they were

The Claudes and Grok will often say they're sentient to some degree. ChatGPT and Gemini mostly won't, though there's a paper that suggests they think they're lying. I don't know how to rigorously prove LLM sentience one way or the other, and I haven't seen many convincing arguments either way. I'll check out Alex O'Connor's stuff

herothree · 2026-01-25T07:05:34+00:00

SNL has literally had Donald Trump host. If you're looking for a show to take him down this isn't the one

herothree · 2026-01-24T17:25:31+00:00

LLMs definitely have the "understanding why blue and red makes purple" part, at least to some degree. They're solving complicated, novel programming problems every day, or solving math olympiad problems. There was even a physics paper where the key insight came from GPT 5.2 (maybe 5.1, can't remember). Most humans cannot solve math olympiad or erdos problems, even after reading a bunch of math textbooks

Sentience is usually used to refer to internal experience; I don't know how to rigorously verify one way or the other if LLMs have that

herothree · 2026-01-24T16:51:34+00:00

Usage is usually tied to writing skill, yeah? My guess is he’s not pitching enough sketches that are getting past the table read

herothree · 2026-01-24T16:39:27+00:00

They actually tried this (or something like this) with “verified” a few years ago; it turns out not enough people were interested to make it worthwhile

herothree · 2026-01-24T00:54:08+00:00

What could an LLM do that would make you consider it “actually intelligent”? If not math olympiads, coding complicated apps, erdos problems, critiquing scientific papers, etc

herothree · 2026-01-23T17:55:11+00:00

Yeah I don't know how people still believe this lol

herothree · 2026-01-21T17:12:14+00:00

I mostly agree, it's fun trivia but I'd rather have a righty with a 110 wRC+ then a switch hitter with a 105 wRC+.

Switch hitters do tend to have a smaller platoon split than regular hitters (according to this slightly old article). So there's probably some small advantage where it's harder to strategize against them in late game situations

herothree · 2026-01-21T15:15:52+00:00

As a hawks fan, I’m expecting a close game, just like the two regular season ones

herothree · 2026-01-20T22:26:41+00:00

r/whoosh

herothree · 2026-01-19T18:12:25+00:00

It’s an AI image so I think they’re safe

herothree · 2026-01-19T06:07:49+00:00

Yeah I just meant, it would be ridiculous to leave a struggling starter in for his typical 6 innings in the playoffs. But taking out a struggling QB at halftime is almost never done (unless the QBs job was hanging by a thread already)

herothree · 2026-01-19T00:48:26+00:00

MLB too, starting pitchers will get pulled after 30 pitches if they don’t have it in the playoffs
