The honest reality that people actually like X and use it. They don't make it a point to show off their virtues by boycotting it. Nearly everyone important in the space uses it.

I guess they kinda ignore replies and just follow the Karpathy-ies?

Super offending to my sensibilities seeing the extent of slop in replies, and this is months and months ago now. Unbridled poorly prompted GPT-4o replies.

The main posts from smart/funny people are just as good as they would be written elsewhere, yes, but like at a restaurant, atmosphere’s pretty important too… don’t want to eat a tomahawk steak on an airport runway (whether or not the airport’s associated with My Heart Goes Out To You non-Roman non-salutes)

I don't think the slop problem is that high? Maybe its the people I follow. I just mentally filter out obvious slop anyway. The number of "likes" is a good giveaway for whether it is slop or not.

		Must’ve seen a thread that was so horrible I nope’d out hard and of course haven’t checked back.[1] Compounding factor must be how I worry about the “nazi bar” accusations, since that story resonated with me (we know the one, polite-talking guy getting kicked out of bar for seemingly no reason). If you can screenshot all the good stuff and put it on Mastodon, thank you! ;) (hehe no perfect solutions to this thang) [1] omg someone prompted GPT to use uncommon words and lowercase letters, and they posted the stupidest model output I’ve ever seen as “their” reaction… it was super disrespectful to make humans read even those few contrived sentences
