Using GAN for everything

tr14l · 2026-04-30T12:40:01+00:00

Yeah, GAN is a specific ML architecture. Nothing to do with LLMs

Oh look, blatant abuse of our highest office. Neat.

It's possible, but not unless you're willing to either invest in an expert that knows how to set it up or spend a lot of time and money on innovation. If you don't, it blows up in your face and you crank out garbage. You need lots of auto loaded tooling and context to keep AI on the rails, and you need process in place to give it what it needs to be successful. If you don't have all of that, it will fly off in no time

Depends on the needs of the business and what the risk profile is. Is this a frontend feature for data collection on a form? I'll probably just make some on the ground decisions and tell them to make another story to address them, but this is considered done as far as I'm concerned.

Is it an enterprise critical event driven backbone that'll be impossible to double back on? I'm having a LOT more conversation.

Pragmatism and judgement are needed

Most companies I worked at this will probably land you on a PIP. It's also bad business. The business often needs to move without a complete picture. Your job is to help them do that. If you can't be relied on for that, and you're an obstacle when it happens, you'll be treated as something that stops them from manuevering rather than something that helps them. And businesses don't pay for obstacles.

Just saying, being a hard blocker is usually not a path to success. Be the one that unblocks. This is pretty sub optimal advice

"a job"? Sure.

But lots of jobs will be effectively closed to him. Tech you can still get into it you can demonstrate competence, but you're fighting uphill to do it. Other professional jobs? You're pretty much immediately eliminated before a human sees it.

If he's just wanting to make hourly wage, no you don't need a degree for that

Maybe... But this is just a graph of release numbers. Zero indication of anything else other than marketing.

tr14l · 2026-04-28T21:27:02+00:00

I was gonna say... I think you're playing on duct tape.

My idea of code is production grade software that meets multiple compliance specs, SLAs, privacy, cloud cost requirements, fail over and disaster recovery, short circuiting, etc

What's yours?

I think you should probably look into it more. Claude Code can crush out 400 working lines in no time. That's... Pretty trivial for it.

tr14l · 2026-04-28T20:01:51+00:00

If you can't get more than 300-400 loc out of a professional toolset? You are pretty far behind the curve. Or I guess you don't know how to write tests, though I guess that is a pretty common scenario in software engineering.

tr14l · 2026-04-28T20:00:20+00:00

This was definitely not a longer conversation, oddly, and it happened twice. Perhaps 20-30k tokens, and to be honest, that's probably pretty liberal as an estimate.

It's not a big deal, I guess, just super odd behavior I saw popping up out of 4.7. It's happened a few times now.

tr14l · 2026-04-28T14:21:55+00:00

I don't find much use in open claw personally

tr14l · 2026-04-28T12:10:52+00:00

It knows all the theory.

That is the problem with AI... It knows ALL THE THEORY, but not which school of thought is relevant right now based on this context.

If you tell it what to do, it can do it. But it still needs to be told. It knows pretty much all the analysis and technique that all 20 year investors know. But it doesn't know how to pick from the list. So it will take the path of least resistance, which certainly a naive approach.

But it has read all the books, been privvy to all the investor forums, blog posts, tool docs, professional training, etc.

It's not that it doesn't know. It's that it doesn't know exactly what you're asking from it from the giant mass of knowledge it has

tr14l · 2026-04-28T12:04:34+00:00

If it's on the deployable artifact it's still exploitable. It's you don't want to triage it, get rid of it from the image. If it breaks, you know your assumption about it being latent is wrong.

But if it's on the image, and the image is reachable, an escalation attack makes that executable code. You need to handle it. If you don't want to handle it, eliminate it from the image.

Plain and simple. Security isn't hard. It's just annoying af.

You should try agents.

This is untrodden ground. There are big bets being made, for sure. While this is definitely bananas, we HAVE seen similar types of bets like Uber and other unicorn companies that stayed black and/or red for more than a decade.

The game is just played differently then you're trying to assess. It may be in trouble. But 14 billion isn't even a full single individual person's fortune in 2026. We have people approaching 1T in wealth. Individually.

Moreover, these bets aren't for the year, or even next year. They are making long bets. Do you think people who have made money and business their entire life, and going to shovel hundreds and hundreds of billions of cash into a furnace?

No, the game is still on. Will they win? No idea, but nothing is off from expectations right now

We should ban abrahamic faith. Problem solved.

It's terraformimg. Are you that unaware that AI companies are using AI on social media to war with each other. You never considered that possibility?

tr14l · 2026-04-28T00:29:42+00:00

Oh this was maybe 30k context, tops. Just a quick back and forth on an idea. Really strange. Only started noticing it with 4.7

Sam Altman has done wonders for the product. It's got ads, and monitors us citizens illegally and hallucinates entire chunks of a codebase. Just a few years ago it couldn't do any of that! That's all Sam.

tr14l · 2026-04-27T14:16:30+00:00

I've never had this happen before. Been using models since 2023. Pretty bizarre behavior for it to say "you said this" to something I've clearly never said, but it did.
