oh fuck no, what the fuck -
ethical AI? of course! it’s always ethical to bamboozle an elderly CS legend into releasing a paper about LLM coding that doesn’t stand up to even basic scrutiny, instead of spending his limited remaining time on this planet finally finishing his book series on algorithms.
it’s ethical because in the future CS will be fucking dead and nobody will be able to afford a computer that isn’t a rented thin client barely capable of accessing cloud resources you pay for by the minute
@zzt This one hurts

Also posted to Adafruit, which got whiplash, from critique of their use of slop machines, so hard that they're faulting right.https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/02/16/no-tools-for-you-a-century-of-men-policing-womens-tools/

@zzt has there been a critique of that Knuth paper? I've seen loads of people gushing about it but I'm not familiar with the actual subject matter of the paper so I don't feel like I can evaluate it

@dzwiedziu @arichtman I shouldn’t be surprised that Torrone, who I’ve seen dox and harass trans fedi users and former customers on a multitude of alts, is now doing free advertising for Hossenfelder, a transphobe

Yeah, I've learned about the “promo” from checking out that harrassment. -

@jcoglan @zzt One Fedi user mentions this about Claude's output:
- Having no formal proof it is correct
- Claude immediately lost the illusion of cohession as their session continued

Alas, I'm not familiar enough with the subject matter of the paper to properly verify
