@aral beautifully put.

@SuperDicq @sue yes this is true. However I mostly know what the answer is before I start asking the question - lets say I wanted to write an IIFE & set up a MutationObserver. I am using the LLM to see what knowledge it has of the subject and I will always do confirmation with follow up questions afterwards. And this is where reading a page of static text falls short (for me). I ask questions with as much prep as I think is necessary to hasten the LLM process for me - as I would with a human.

@sue I’m a developer of some 25 years. I use LLMs when i’m learning something new in the way I’d use an endlessly patient co-worker who also knows how something works. But then I know what questions to ask and how to ask them.

I know to say “don’t tell me the answer I want to work it out, let’s just talk about what this feature is and what it does first.”

Then when the code works I explain what I did back to the LLM to test if I understand it and I continue asking questions

@feld pension funds are selling off the stock. is that the kind of thing you’re talking about?

@feld I believe it’s working very effectively. the first few minutes of this video covers the numbers. the rest of the video is just more global examples of poor sales. Musk’s brother (who works at Tesla) sold 75,000 shares in Tesla. https://youtu.be/w254tOs5-xY?si=iAOHQZBexOMFjF4o

@shanie @Niall @simonbp @jenzi it devalues all future sales. i would divest of stocks in a company viewed so toxic that their product is unsaleable.

@Niall @simonbp @jenzi @billyjoebowers @jalefkowit It’s a shame that a noted and obvious egomaniac and liar runs the company that makes your car but there are lots of EV alternatives. Now that Musk has outed himself as a fascist on top of everything else he, alone, is responsible for the devaluation of your car. Also he was a noted idiot, liar and bully in 2017.

@shanie @Niall @simonbp @jenzi 2017 would be enough for me not to want to give him my money. The following year he insults a caving expert because he is too fragile to accept criticism all the while promising a range of impossible products and services that never appeared. He’s an unlikeable one-man investment bubble worse than Elizabeth Holmes. Hyundai, GM, Renault, BMW, Nissan and Ford were all making EVs at this time too.

@shanie @Niall @simonbp @jenzi here’s some hindsight - if you have seen Musk quite obviously lie in the White House or anywhere else recently do a comparison of his body language now and his body language when he was full of BS at some tech show in 2017. All the tells are there, in the same places, for the same reasons. The incomplete sentences, the hand steepling, non-answers, the fake self-deprecation and the goofball geek act.

@shanie @Niall @simonbp @jenzi I could spot it then, it’s not difficult if you know about body language and stress and how the limbic system affects our language and our bodies when we are stressed from lying. Tesla owners should engage the enemy by dumping their vehicles whilst still possible and help to tank TESLA stock. This is going to hurt, and it’s unlucky for them but cars are not investments and EVs don’t hold their value anyway.

@goatsarah @jbouie @jeffjarvis @joyannreid yeah i’m getting the same thing. it appears from the comments on here that it’s praising the brilliance of pulling the rug out from under the GOP by doing something they’re not prepared for.
