Yeah I used my political positioning in regards to the Dutch political people and the self identification of our political groups (the most rightwing parties after Wilders are self proclaimed liberals here after all (however talking of political ideology and what it implies is a thing that simply never happens in politics here, it is really strange, everybody acts like they have no real nameable ideology (the people not in power have of course))). Which colors my perception of these kind of things.

Cool thanks for doing the effort post.
My (wildly optimistic by sneerclubbing standards) expectations for “LLM agents” is that people figure out how to use them as a “creative” component in more conventional bots and AI approaches
This was my feeling a bit how it was used basically in security fields already, with a less focus on the conventional bots/ai. Where they use the LLMs for some things still. But hard to spread fact from PR, and some of the things they say they do seem to be like it isn't a great fit for LLMs, esp considering what I heard from people who are not in the hype train. (The example coming to mind is using LLMs to standardize some sort of reporting/test writing, while I heard from somebody I trust who has seen people try that and had it fail as it couldn't keep a consistent standard).
I now wonder how that compares to earlier non-LLM AI attempts to create a bot that can play games in general. Used to hear bits of that kind of research every now and then but LLM/genAI has sucked the air out of the room.
Know it was a blog, so I meant my post as a bit of a joke, as this isn't any proof of a general FT hate. (but like all jokes, it isn't just a full joke, as I have noticed that a lot of financial media like FT (there is also a dutch tv show for example) randomly can be a lot more pro 'leftwing' financial stances (I mean the more left-liberal/socdem ones, not full blown fully automated gay luxury space communism) than you would expect (This is also a bit of a blindspot for a lot of more online leftwingers).
That whole 'haters just like incomplete information' makes no sense btw. Amazing to get that out of people basically going 'we hate beff for x,y,z' (which I assume happens, as I don't keep up with this beff stuff, I don't like these 'e/acc' people).
Sorry, I have not kept up with the guy, and that is why I made the silly joke. Thanks for pointing out what actually happened. And hey, at least star citizen is still trying to chug along (despite my own reservations. feels weird to agree with Smart), so those non-nft pictures of spaceships will prob outlive the nfts.
Being very mad about starcitizen.
Yeah thats Derek allright, the man has a bit of a reputation for being argumentative and opinionated. And well with his extensive resume ( he made Battlecruiser 3000AD in 96) he has the right to speak on things, and we should be silent, listen and be in awe of the wisdom he bestows upon us. A living Prometheus, slowly back away, do not make eye contact or he will start a flamewar.
Ah so that is good news, worried it might be offline due to legal troubles, but it is technical troubles. Thanks for all your (and everybody else involved) service an all that.
Ow god that thread. And what is it with 'law professionals' like this? I also recall a client in a project who had a law background who was quite a bit of pain to work with. (Also amazing that he doesn't get that getting a reaction where somebody tries out your very specific problem at all is already quite something, 25k open issues ffs).
E: Also seeing drama like this unfold a few times in the C:DDA development stuff (a long time ago), which prob was done by young kids/adults and not lawyers. My kneejerk reaction is to get rid of people like this from the project. They will just produce more and more drama, and will eventually burn valuable developers out. (E2: also really odd that despite saying he has a lot of exp talking to OSS devs, he thinks the normal remarks are all intended very hostile. "likely your toolchain setting it or your build script" and "I'll unsubscribe from this bug now" seem to me to be pretty normal reactions, one a first suggestion at what the problem potentially could be, and the other disclosing that he will not be working on the bug (holy shit the (non lawyer) guy being complained about here is prolific. ~100 contribs on average daily last week and an almost whole green year)). Also "I value such professional behavior very much" tags post with 'korruption'.
Another edit: Looked more at this guys blog and that are a lot of quite iffy opinions my man. (I noticed that the other post tagged 'korruption' talks about the how the AfD should be allowed to go against 'the rainbow flag' (I dont know the exact details of the incident), which while yes, legally ok, it still is a bit iffy). And then I scrolled more and saw this: "Deutschland braucht eine konservative Revolution! Warum wir uns ein Beispiel an den USA nehmen sollten" "Germany needs a conservative revolution, why we should follow the USA's example". He is a Musk/Trump/Venture Capitalist Manifesto true believer. Deregulate, stop the ideology build cars and go to space! The Bezos/Zuckerburg revolution. Common sense! "Musk, der Inbegriff des amerikanischen Unternehmergeistes" (If you allow me to react to this in Dutch: Lol). We need modern nuclear power, like how the USA does it (??). Deregulation, AI, humanitarian immigration that also only selects skilled workers, Freedom of speech which includes banning of "cancel culture", education reform, tax reform, stop crime, quantum computers, biotech, do more things online. We need to look forward, and change things, and thus a conservative revolution!
There is more stuff like: "Die temporäre Zusammenarbeit mit der AfD in einer Verfahrensfrage wird das Parteiensystem nicht nachhaltig beschädigen.", or https://seylaw.blogspot.com/2021/04/der-negerkuss-eine-suspeise-die-gemuter.html (If you don't speak German and want to listen to the weirdly racist drunking ramblings of a guy at the bar who is 'joking' throw it through google translate).
E: also forgot, lol at him going 'just run these two bash scripts I provided only takes 30 secs' like the devs need not first check of none of these is doing something malicious.
