Ah yes, the classic open source guy stance of “you get to praise me publicly but direct criticism or problems to [over there]”

PR for AI slop generated DWARF support for ocaml. Expectation: doesn’t work

Reality: replicates existing support from another project including attribution to the author.

This might be one of those “careful what you wish for” scenarios. The neutral outcome might well be that they generate dialog with training data from Scots Wikipedia. Or Scots Grokipedia I guess

Just saw this post on DHH, it’s really good: https://okayfail.com/2025/in-praise-of-dhh.html

If you’re not careful, one day you will wake up and find that you’ve pushed away every person who ever disagreed with you.

Living a life as if it was able to bear a “I bought one before I knew he was a jerk” bumper sticker.

Fuuuuuuck. Thanks for the info but i hate it ):

 

Got the pointer to this from Allison Parrish who says it better than I could:

it's a very compelling paper, with a super clever methodology, and (i'm paraphrasing/extrapolating) shows that "alignment" strategies like RLHF only work to ensure that it never seems like a white person is saying something overtly racist, rather than addressing the actual prejudice baked into the model.

 

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.

 

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.
