  • Yeah I always think Leo Dicaprio’s character in Django Unchained is almost an awesome dude… handsome (it’s Leo) friendly, extremely hospitable, and has a fun curiosity. Except! There’s one problem with that dude… and that one problem is why he’s a villain. And to me that’s what makes a great villain.



  • Just art imitating life. Humans aren’t a simple as just “good guys” and “bad guys”. Villains could be awesome people but it’s their bad moral choices that make them the villains.

    We like fictional villains because they’re fictional. Someone liking fictional villains doesn’t mean they’ll like real life villains.




  • Yeah kinda. I ask it to do something simple like create a a typescript interface for some JSON and it just gives me what I want… most of the time.

    Other times it will explain to me what JSON is, what Typescript is, what interfaces are and how they’re used, blah blah, and somewhere in there there’s the code I actually wanted. Once it helpfully commented the code… in Korean. Even when it works and comments things in English the comments can be kinda useless since it doesn’t actually know what I’m doing.

    It’s trying to give you what you want but can sometimes get confused about what you’re asking for and give a bunch of stuff you didn’t actually want. So yeah, the comic is accurate… on occasion. But many times LLMs will give good results, and it’s getting better, so it’ll mostly work ok for simple requests. But yeah, sometimes it’ll give you a lot more stuff than what you wanted.


  • Some days it will be but other days it won’t be. Most of the time it can save me typing because it’ll do what I want. Sometimes (for similar tasks in the same context) it’s just be completely off. Once it helpfully commented my code… in Korean.

    LLMs are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.
