Crazy mental gymnastics if you think the American oligarchs don’t have the final say on everything in America. They’re just smart enough to do it behind the scenes, well they used to be. They barely bother anymore.

Shaming others when all AI is trained off scraped content and code huh? Many of those sources either breaking ToS or being illegal, such as Anna’s Archive. Bold move. And Chinese models in particular have been accused of distilling off American models.

Don’t you know there’s no honor among thieves?

We’ve detected zero cases of any Chinese models doing this. I’m quite tired of the American propaganda. If only Americans understood China really does not care about them outside of wanting to sell them things. They’re too busy building high speed rails, modern cities, and providing healthcare to their citizens. I am ashamed to be an American these days.

> tired of the American propaganda

Not propaganda. Projected cynicism.

Yes yes my code also doesnt have any bugs because all my tests are passing.

I'm a cynic, if history has taught me anything is that none of these countries are to be trusted with tools like these.

Someone give this man one hundred million dollars asap

How about you meet me half way and work 996 instead?

Don’t be an engineer who says “no” with zero alternative solutions. That’s not being a good engineer, it’s being lazy and trying to look good. Often times an engineer will put forth a solution that’s non-ideal due to legacy reasons, but required nonetheless. And no they can’t rewrite the entire system to “do it the right way”. You're not being some super high IQ genius by saying “no” or pointing out the solution is non-ideal.

I remember this exact software dev manager. She knew the system well. She became a manager. She started saying no to many PMs and other devs. In meetings with business people, she was a bully because she knew how to code. The worst was that she offered no alternative when she didn’t agree with the proposal. She was difficult to work with.

I wonder if she is the same ZIRP person this article is talking about.

Seems like you dodged a bullet. Hard to hear when you’re looking for a job, but not every job is a good opportunity.

Yeah. It's kinda like when someone gets infatuated with someone but they don't reciprocate. Do you want to be with someone who doesn't like you? Of course not. Find someone else.

GLM 5.1 is almost there. These guys should be scared. The valuations these companies have is insanity.

Not in extended sessions, I've noticed. It's good at targeted edits, but not "build a small tool that XYZ".

We’re in an age where, to be possibly a bit rude but blunt, pseudo-intellectuals are obsolete. A pseudo-intellectual prided themselves on being able to efficiently solve closed, man made problems such as leetcode, CTF problems, or even math Olympiad problems. They could do good in school by memorizing a rote technique and applying it to some test. They typically don’t have any real creativity and if you put them to work on a problem you can’t Google or isn’t a fake man made one, they fall apart incredibly fast.

They may as well be the human equivalent to what LLMs currently are.

I do not mourn these people, as they’re usually the most arrogant types. I hope for their sake they adapt.
