Linkedin - but I instintively unfollow anyone who posts solely using AI. Using AI a little bit is ok - maybe to polish your words. But anything more and I really dont want it to mess my brain.
Re:Shunning AI is the human choice on Thursday May 21, 2026 @09:57AM (#48222656)
I kinda get the hate now - all of social media is being awash with AI. I think maybe a better option is to have new social media which is restricted to humans and human produced content. Hard to enforce - but I am sure there are ways out there.
loved the name ! elephants never forget
Re:I still prefer MCP over skills on Friday April 10, 2026 @06:35AM (#47716028)
I think the key problem is that usage of MCP servers is not 'baked' into the LLM training - but API's and CLI's are already a part of training. So to use your MCP server, the LLM has to use additional intelligence which could have been used to do the actual work instead.
Re:Nvidia releases NVLM 1.0 72B open weight model on Wednesday October 02, 2024 @04:23AM (#41718385)
I think the only relevant part to note here is that this model showed improved text-only performance after multimodal training. Wonder if this translates to Llama models also ? Is it possible to extend Llama 3.1 405b with multi-modal training to create another SOTA large model ?
Re:Show HN: Quilt – Powerful RAG UI for Document QA on Wednesday October 02, 2024 @04:15AM (#41718342)
Can you explain how is this different from the other offerings. I believe there are quite a few RAG solutions out there, but its not all clear from your description how you guys stand out.
Re:Ask HN: How to deal with AI generated sloppy code on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @02:35PM (#41712375)
AI should assist, not replace, skilled coding. It's crucial to blend AI efficiency with human craftsmanship for clean, sustainable code. From my consulting experience, excessive AI reliance results in bloated code that’s a nightmare to maintain. This echoes the problem Java shops faced with class and object overuse, but now it’s amplified.
