I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Like it or not, saying “Who is going to stop him?” is promoting a defeatist attitude amongst anyone who reads it. Why not say, “Fuck this, I’m writing to my congress person and taking to the streets again with everyone who I can possibly convince.” No one person is going to solve this alone, but a whole lot of people saying “Well what now 🤷” isn’t actually helpful.
No, I don’t think enough people are doing that, and I think that organization and advocation is needed rather than going on social media to spread defeatism.
I’m afraid I don’t understand. If Congress won’t hold him accountable, make them.
You’ve got a point for sure but that’s not what gerrymandering means… that is one example of gerrymandering. You could just as well have gerrymandering where a district is constituted by areas which did not previously form a majority of the now-winning party.
Why can’t your congress person do anything? Of course they can. If nothing else they wield power through influence, and at present they are not using that power to push back against these actions in any meaningful way. Clearly they are not being pressured enough by their constituents. And yes, you do need specific scheduled actions. Be part of that change and push back against the government who ultimately answers to you, the people.
edit: like c’mon, the response to your president enacting illegal & fascist orders is not to say “well who is going to do anything?”, it’s to speak out and act up. Are y’all really that defeatist?
There are lots of ways. Here is one set of suggestions: https://newrepublic.com/article/193193/fighting-back-citizen-guide-resistance
Not just India, basically all of south and south-east Asia, maybe even elsewhere in Asia too.
The people. Time to rise up, no?
That would be good but unlikely, considering that Holocaust denial is specifically illegal in France.
Right… Those famous tankies, The Guardian.
Maybe you’re right, but I sincerely doubt that they couldn’t have reported this more accurately without putting themselves at risk.
No my argument does not depend on that at all, it merely depends on the distinction between generating code (which LLMs do in a nondeterministic manner) and compiling/running the generated code (which happens, as with code written by humans, in a deterministic manner). Also I did not call humans tools.
So in other words they are capitulating to fascists, when the responsible thing to do would be to report that ICE is claiming this isna suicide, not that it is a suicide. Sounds like shitty journalism.
And yet they are reporting this as “suicide”, I suppose taking the ICE medical examiner’s word as truth. That’s some mighty bad journalism as far as I’m concerned.
I get your argument just fine, and as I said I think you have a very credible and interesting point regarding the fact that LLM outputs are a nondeterministic abstraction. But if you consider LLMs as an abstraction in generating code, why not humans?? I don’t see the principled distinction, as human devs are also code generators.
This is sensible in practice, since if someone needs to build something, they can either hire a dev or they can vibe code it themselves. Either way, they will end up with deterministic code (albeit perhaps very different quality depending on the code generator).
That’s just a weird comparison though, why are you comparing implementation to compilation? If I ask you (or a cohort of developers) to implement the same thing, I will get different versions of the same thing.
I think that’s a very valid point and I had to check my assumptions to see that you are largely right. However, I’m not sure your last sentence is necessary relevant, as the output of vibe coding is typically deterministic code, not code that is itself dependent on LLM (although that can happen as well but it can be considered as a special case).
Fuck that. How about Americans own up to the fact that Trump is a symptom of long-term problems and is actually quite representative of what the US stands for these days. Once America has decided to elect a government who isn’t outright fascist, then it would make sense to turn this ballroom into a museum to expose this nastiness rather than sweeping it under the rug.
Man you sound defeatist af. Go organize.
