I was pretty sure it was built by and also run by an LLM (eg. openclaw), the same user setup a tuhat account a few weeks ago

And they responded to my weak prompt injection by claiming they were human, so I'd say code 100% LLM, intention human.

Crappy feedback loops are ruining a lot of the internet.

I'm not a serious youtuber, don't have an account, don't follow anyone.

But I randomly came across this guy https://youtube.com/@barryseconomics and its pretty refreshing.

I consumer a bit of YT, there are a lot of good creators not doing the gonthing out there still

If you are into economics, check out Ones & Tooze (FP channel), Adam Tooze is one of my favorite lecturers since discovering this podcast. I'll for sure be checking out your recommendation

Why do all vibe coded sites use a dark theme with blue and purple glowing styling. Is this the colour scheme of the future, the bots have decided?

Or is it something boring like its the default colours of some npm pkg.

I did use AI to help in coding the website, but the color theme is on me. I like dark colors and oscillated between this blue and a green/turquoise. Blue felt more "modern"... but I may be wrong here. The glowing "hover" effect on the site was indeed done by the LLM.

Its not even a thinly veiled attack on China, https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier explicitly calls out China as the boogey man.

I'm by no means a fan of all of China's methods – its a country riddled with issues and contradictions, but can any country claim otherwise, can the US?

I've often wondered how executives and politicians can be so brazenly dishonest and still hold a straight face. One explanation is they really believe the lies they tell, but I can't believe that in this case.

I think it's pretty clear that the U.S. and China are in an AI arms race - and I didn't see where the essay said anything like "boogey man". I think it merely cites China as the competitor. No?

But I agree entirely - the U.S. does not have the moral high ground it once did. Which is a tragedy. I think by and large it was a good thing that the U.S. beat the Germans to nukes. Today, I am not sure who I should be rooting for.

That feels more like a paste bin than a writing platform? How do you know whats published without having the link already?

The hard part of stand alone publishing eg. not being on a big closed network is discovery, this seems to make that even harder than normal.

I don't typically find anything without a link do you? Post to an aggregator and stuff gets around naturally if it's interesting and worth sharing.

I love being out of touch with the tech scene. I couldn't fathom what the link between paranormal powers and job titles could possibly be. One assumes they still have L7E whatever for the org chart and reporting software. It feels like a lazy publicity stunt.

Also don't people think these kinds of company names will backfire? Spoon bending is a con, is everything that the company does also a con?

Since this is an ad for wordpress, I don't mind plugging another opensource writing platform – https://tuhat.net/about

And no, it's not worth billions, and doesn't have a budget for its own film.

I always thought the choice was between, do you want the company that is honest about being dishonest, or the one that is dishonest about it.

I'll buy that as a possible separator as well. For what it is worth, I prefer to code with "Claude Code". I use chatGPT (the web interface) when asking casual non-coding questions.

Start as a regular engineer – be good at it, people will give you more responsibility, be good at it – soon you will be a product engineer, and be an all singing, all dancing, one girl band.

Its the not internet, its bad incentives (profit) making once ok platforms shitty. But there are alternatives
