   I'm currently paying people to test my README.
   Using my #NLnet grant money, I'm giving people a €25 voucher if they'll let me watch them try to follow my documentation and install my software.

   It is *painful* but brilliant. I've found so many issues that I'd never thought of before. Only by hearing people sigh in frustration at your clumsy prose will you be able to improve things.

   You don't have to pay people, of course,. Ask a friend if you can watch them install your code.

   It is revelatory.

   @dalias @MissingClara I don't want to sell anyone reviewing code short; my objection isn't that people aren't doing enough to review LLM extruded code.

   It's that reviewing extruded code is *at best* an effective mitigation of a risk that shouldn't have been there in the first place. With human-written code, you at least have some marginal, tiny trust in the author that they are competent, have some concept of how the code works, and so forth, but *none* of that exists for AI.

   I realized today while watching my son 🧒 try to get dressed:

   The peak of humanoid robotics isn't doing a backflip or writing code.

   It’s the ability to successfully put on a t-shirt and shoes 👕👟

   Fucking Squarespace.

   Google Domains domains were migrated to them and they're absolute fucks. When you want to move away, you can unlock the domain and request a code fine...

   ...and then it takes literally hours before they actually send the code.

   It's cheap and we know why you do it. Scumbags.

   Let's say you managed to get a hold on OpenAI source code.

   Let's say you used the source code to train a GenAI.

   Let's say the GenAI produced a new GenAI based on OpenAI source code.

   It's all good by OpenAI standards, right?

   Decided to give Copilot a try and asked it to fix a problem with my code.

   It deleted my code.

   Well fucking played, Copilot.
