My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts

My smartest friends have bananas arguments about LLM coding.

An LLM is a computer program. We should talk about it like a computer program.

I’m Tired of Talking About AI

I don’t want to talk about LLMs anymore.

If You’re Going To Defend AI And Whine About Its Critics, You Should Probably Be Honest About Its Actual Harms

I think this recent post by AI industry CEO Matt Shumer is worth a read. In it, he basically explains how quickly LLMs (large language models) are evolving to supplant many developers and prog…

ADD / XOR / ROL: A non-anthropomorphized view of LLMs

In many discussions where questions of "alignment" or "AI safety" crop up, I am baffled by seriously intelligent people imbuing almost magic...

This was my read on AI from the beginning and it proved very true. Whatever hypothetical benefits LLMs have (and they have some), their main use is to waste everyone's time wading through slop. Longer colleague powerpoints. More spam emails. More slop clogging up all the systems. https://t.co/2gtGfqf7KF— Lincoln Michel (@TheLincoln) September 21, 2026

Which AI model writes the best code? We rank every major LLM — open and closed source — across SWE-bench, HumanEval, LiveCodeBench, and Terminal-Bench coding benchmarks. Compare the best LLMs for coding, software engineering, and programming.

Pluralistic: Why I don’t like AI art (25 Mar 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

A law professor friend tells me that LLMs have completely transformed the way she relates to grad students and post-docs – for the worse. And no, it's not that they're cheating on their homework or using LLMs to write briefs full of hallucinated cases.

We investigate the effectiveness of artificial intelligences (AI)-specifically large language models (LLMs)-relative to human scientists at high-level cognitive tasks in social science such as...
