Hey David Gerard, long time follower second time caller. (Here's the first time.)

So I recently saw a post of yours—attached below—about a post from a lead developer of the "Julia language" trying out Claude Code (which I will call "Clode" for the rest of the post for no particular reason except it saves me keystrokes and is funny) and finding it "not very good".

here is a list of every muffle or mute i use on tapestry, my rss client of choice. a lot of what i'm hiding is promotions of some sort, usually for members-only content, which i think makes sense. but what has really started crossing the line is stuff talking about ai. i follow some normal-ish publications about web dev and stuff, and the amount of ai hype i've seen on the is driving me kinda crazy, so i am now exercising my power to be the god of my own feed and silence it all. it's muffled though because obviously this hides any ai criticism from people i might care about so it's just muffling it, requiring me to click through to see it. tragic.

i’ve been reading a bit about ai stuff recently and one thing that has really bothered me is that a lot of people using the framing provided by corporations by calling the problems "hallucinations". they’re not hallucinations. a computer can't hallucinate. these "hallucinations" are caused by the computer being unable to fundamentally understand the world because they can't understand. period. it just bothers me because you're criticizing ai, but you're criticizing it using their language and on their terms and that sucks. don’t play their game and don’t play it by their rules.
