Bullshit

So, it seems like this is the time to somehow sum up the current AI hype (way through the roof) and the immediate and long term consequences of it. First of all, a proper education – studying the fundamental underlying principles instead of particulars – which used to be an unofficial mantra of MIT, pays off again. One just sets particular constraints to a coding LLM and use it as a whole-data-center-powerful constraint satisfaction engine that spews out a slop, which then can be used for rapid prototyping and minimal-viable products. The properly constrained slop can even be used as the basis of a project, which then undergo proper continuous improvement and refinement by a human expert (who knows the whys). ...

I think I have seen this before. Once in Varanasi, wandering around book stalls (most titles already “tourist books”, – oversimplified and westernized “tantric” bullshit), I found a whole book by some local publisher which describes in a minute details one single Brahmanic ritual (an elaborate sacrifice) which last almost a whole day. Hundreds of ingredients are being burn in a precise sequence, or rather a simphony of chants. motions, gestures (mudras) and many other elaborate details. The priests (brahmans) definitely knew what they are doing and why exactly this way is the only proper way. ...

So, things begin to move a lot faster and much bigger, and there is something to realize about this unpreceded AI bubble. We will consider only the underlaying fundamental principles, not the particular implementation details, “architectures” and what not.. There are four major aspects to any LLM model – the training process, the “architecture” (the structural shape) of a model, the " post-training tuning" (lobotomy) of the model and the inference process. ...

Yes! yes! https://thewayofcode.com/ > Free from intellect, free from abstraction I see. Some humanties and liberal arts majors are staring in wonder and awe at changing complicated symmetrical patterns. Many such cases. So this is a new cult forming right before our eyes. Now I got what is the thing about so called vibe coding – it is the appeal to exactly that kind of “arty types” (highly emotional, without habitual critical thinking, incoherent, undisciplined minds of generally low IQ, who usually follow all the emotionally charged esoteric bullshit) so they could “create” without knowing, leave alone understanding. ...
