Like yes I know the oneshotted llm enjoyers think the machine spits out golden eggs if you touch it in just the right way but, like, no.

@cthos the fact that "no it doesn't" is always salient and so hard to communicate to someone looking at a demo that is entirely convincing in screenshots
@cthos tbh even I find it challenging to maintain skepticism while looking at these demos of 3D editor apps (a genre of app I have dabbled in trying to create and failed at several times) with working spatial navigation and modeling tools, moving in real time, looking for all the world like a version of blender that doesn't require the neural implant
Oct 15, 2026, 7:07 PM@glyph They keep selling the idea of "it could be perfect" but it's a pile of statistics.
It is...sorta eldrich horror that they've managed to spend trillions to get the pile of statistics to resemble functional output, but it's still just a pile of statistics.
