In case you have forgotten, most PhD students -- including the brightest stars who can do way better work than any current LLMs -- are not paid $20K / month.

Very telling that the only response liberals have to this is to say: 'They can't possibly have the same politics - Trump says nasty mean things!!!' Liberals only hear tone, not content. Starmer/Trump are aligned on migration, LGBTQ+ rights, welfare and foreign affairs.

Are they 'more left wing in office' yet?

I'm not sure I agree with all this "Labour have only had 6 months, give them a chance!" Trump has managed to dismantle America in five weeks, so the fact Labour have taken 6 months to do some good stuff but in reality fuck all has got better doesn't wash. Tax the rich. Now.

“I was fine working with a nonce until he cut my benefits”

"actually it's all just pattern matching!" he screams as his peers develop intelligence capable of finding security vulnerabilities in the linux kernel

Coding agents have crossed a chasm Somewhere in the last few months, something fundamental shifted for me with autonomous AI coding agents. They’ve gone from a “hey this is pretty neat” curiosity to something I genuinely can’t imagine working without. Not in a hand-wavy,

Academic AI criticism is stuck in 2023. This is Not Good if you want to hold developers to account and make sure AI is socially beneficial. I wrote about some common misconceptions and shared some simple suggestions for better criticism from my peers Link below 📖
