Yeah sounds more like an indie cash grab. Although I do like the “no guns” angle
- Comment on ChatGPT has caused a massive drop in demand for online digital freelancers — here is what you can do to protect yourself 2 weeks ago:
But we are talking about freelancers, not about SEO or content marketing, more like content filling
Most SEO is done by freelancers (at least in my industry). When i talk about content marketing i mean anybody who writes blog posts and LinkedIn posts for companies. It was already shit long before AI arrived.

Yeah I’m not bashing anybody, my wife did that for a couple years I know how it is. There was a kind of golden period where it would even pay enough to let you do some quality stuff but when VC money stopped raining the market slumped almost immediately.

I think the bitter lesson here is that there’s a bunch of jobs where quality has zero importance.
If you take for example, content marketing, SEO, and ad copy writing… It’s a lot of bullshit, and it’s been filling the web with gpt-grade slop for 20 years now. If you can do the same for cheap I don’t see a reason not to.
- Comment on Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity? 3 weeks ago:
It is not a false dichotomy though.
Being mentally healthy and well integrated does not require you to live in a perfect, just and balanced universe. It requires you using all the cognitive, psychological and philosophical tools at your disposal to deal with the universe on its own terms.
Keeping yourself depressed for the sake of “not being deluded” is in itself a mental illness symptom, and only has negative consequences for everyone.
- Comment on How come no true use for recent AI developments has been found yet? 3 weeks ago:
Large language models like GPT, llama, and Gemini don’t create anything new
That’s because it is a stupid use case. Why should we expect AI models to be creative, when that is explicitly not what they are for?

Disclaimer : I currently work in the field, not on the fundamental side of things but I build tooling for LLM-based products.
There are a ton of true uses for newer AI models. You can already see specialized products getting mad traction in their respective niches, and the clients are very satisfied with them. It’s mostly boring stuff, legal/compliance like Hypercomply or accounting like Chaintrust. It doesn’t make headlines but it’s obvious if you know where to look.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 26th 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been getting back into anarchy Minecraft as an old buddy of mine is kinda resurrecting a base I used to be active at.
The scene is mostly dead, on our main server it’s 2 to 4 players on average which is crazy to me. It used to be from 50 to 100 most evenings.
Now I’ve got a 2 million blocks trip to make, even auto walking on the nether roof that’s gonna take some time. But it’s also an occasion to revisit some historic milestones along the way! I was able to get my hands on one signed book a friend had given me some time before passing away so it’s also kind of an emotional journey.

The exact lyrics are :
Jaaaacques Chirahac Jacques Chirahac Jacques Chirac, Jacques Chirac (Jacques Chirac?)
- Comment on What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say? 1 month ago:
I think a flaw in this line of reasoning is that it assigns a magical property to the concept of knowing. Do humans know anything? Or do they just infer meaning from identifying patterns in words? Ultimately this question is a spiritual question and does not hold any water in a scientific conversation.
