Hey! I’m a person who specifically wants to hear that LLMs are always flaming garbage. Thanks for the explanation. Intent and tone is hard online. Your original comment, which probably read as a joke and firmly tongue-in-cheek to you, read as a frustrated and resentful snarky one-liner zinger to me until I got this explanation that you didn’t mean it that way. Of course, I’m carrying my own biases (anti-LLM, frustration with harshness and generalizations and insults that I perceive to be happening more frequently on the Fediverse than back on Reddit or in real life).
I wonder if there are more jokesters than actual harsh people and I’m just misinterpreting it. (I have been stepping back from the Fediverse because of how many generalizations and frustrated, resentful, snarky comments I’ve seen; and how many LLM discourse posts I see on programming.dev that I, who have that as a trigger topic, end up rabbitholing down instead of doing something more useful. Me even clicking and commenting on this post is an example of the latter, I fear.)
Thanks again for clarifying your intent and going de-escalation mode, I think we need way more of that energy.
I’m lucky enough to sometimes take public transit that publicly posts its data on arrival times and the like. Have been working on a script to tell me when there’s a track change (which changes where I need to wait for the train) because I’m a lazy person who wants to just have a notification fly across my phone screen instead of actually checking on the website. Currently working on testing some functionality before dumping it on my Raspberry Pi. I usually work on this while on the transit, but hopefully I’ll do some of it this weekend.
Also would like to get working on the bog-standard baby coder personal project habit tracker, to make sure I remember how to do front end, back end, etc. I’ve learned I am more likely to use a system I built for myself. We will see if I get to it!
