1·12 days agoI had a story removed with the explanation, “Submission is about using LLMs.”
I don’t really care about getting the moderation decision reversed, but I am not sure I really understand the new policy. Surely, it’s on topic to talk about (in this case) using an LLM to read your logs to try to improve service robustness? “Will this improve the reader’s next program?” If your next program is logging/telemetry related, maybe the removed article would, no?

Why does he make it impossible to tell when his posts were published? That’s not brutalism; it’s just a pain in the ass for readers.

Why? They’ve last for 30 already. I don’t see any reason they would drop out due to AI or VR or whatever.

A thing that has happened a lot lately is people will buy up dead blog domains from the 2010s with good residual SEO and then fill them with AI slop. I’ve read about multiple instances of that happening.

Here’s an example I had of ChatGPT getting stuck on answer and doing a bad job of justifying it:
Me: What has three legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and four legs at night?
ChatGPT: The answer to this classic riddle is “a human being.”
The riddle is a reference to the stages of life. In the morning of life, which is considered to be childhood, a human crawls on hands and knees, hence having three “legs.” In the afternoon of life, which represents adulthood, a human walks upright on two legs. Finally, in the evening of life, which represents old age, a human may require the assistance of a cane, hence having four “legs.”
This riddle has been around for centuries and was famously posed by the Sphinx in Greek mythology to travelers who sought to enter the city of Thebes. Oedipus was able to solve the riddle by answering “man,” causing the Sphinx to destroy itself in frustration.
It’s not weird to get stuck on thinking I asked the riddle of sphinx when I didn’t, but it is weird (from a human POV) to misexplain the riddle.

The article defines “delirium” as being rationality followed to the point of absurdity.

Again, I don’t really care about my deleted story, just understanding the mod rules, but the agentic monitoring story was about how the author had built a LLM-powered tool to monitor logs. I don’t think the building v. use distinction is sufficiently clear to make in practice because for software development most tooling is stuff you build so you personally can use it. At the very least, I would rather err on the side of allowing use stories because at the moment, everyone is struggling to figure out how to use ai-tooling optimally, and some people contend that the optimal use of ai-tooling is none at all.
