these are all surprisingly specific questions that can actually be answered!

1. It's dynamic 2. It's compiled 3. Elixir script is just a file with Elixir code that compiles and runs right away 4. I've been writing Elixir for 7 years and barely know any Erlang. I even submitted bugs to OTP team with reproductions in Elixir, they're chill. 5. Preemptive scheduler, immutable data

Yeah I’ve been doing elixir professionally for maybe 10 years and have barely written any Erlang, maybe a dozen lines.

> If it’s slop or they have incorrect information in the message, then my bad, stop reading here.

"my bad" and what next? The reader just wasted time and focus on reading, it doesn't sound like a fair exchange.

That’s on them, I said what I wanted to.

Most of the time people just like getting triggered that someone sent them a —— in their message and blame AI instead of adopting it into their workflows and moving faster.

That mentality is exactly what is reflected in AI messages: "not my problem I just need to get this over with".

Those types of coworkers tend to be a drain on not just productivity, but entire team morale. Someone who can't take responsibility or in worst cases have any sort of empathy. And tools are a force multiplier. It amplifies productivity, but that also means it amplifies this anchor behavior as well.

So I'm ESL btw... maybe I should have run my message through AI lol.

I was replying to THAT person, and my message was that IF the person they're dealing with who uses AI happens to be giving them constant slop (not ME!!! not my message) THEN ignore what I have to say in that message THEREAFTER.

So if that person is dealing with others who are giving them slop, and not just being triggered that it reads like GPT..

I can see the similarity yes! Although I do feel like the distance between handwritten letter and an email is shorter than between email and LLM generated email. There's some line it crossed. Maybe it's that email provided some benefit to the reader too. Yes, there's less character, but you receive it faster, you can easily save it, copy it, attach a link or a picture. You may even get lucky and receive an .exe file as a bonus! LLM does not provide any benefit for the reader though, it just wastes their resources on yapping that no human cared to write.

This feature predates LLMs though, right? Funnily enough, I actually find it hilarious! In my mind, once they introduced it, it immediately became "a list of things NOT to reply if you want to be polite" and I was used it like that. With one exception. If I came across an update from someone who's a really good friend, I would unleash full power of AI comments on them! We had amazing AI generated comment threads with friends that looked goofy as hell.

LLM dates back to 2017, Google added that to internal gmail back then. Not sure when linkedin added it so you might be right, but the tech is much older than most thinks.

100% real life is much more grim. I can only hope we'll somehow figure it out.

I haven't personally been in this position, but when I think about it, looping all your reviews through the cursor would reduce your perceived competence, wouldn't it? Is giving them a negative performance review an option?
