I'm so suck of LLM generated replies on Twitter. I stopped replying almost entirely to my replies on my own Tweets because I expect all of them to just be LLM slop. Why are y'all doing this?
LLMs replying replies
The subject this post names, from the same vocabulary
the directory files beliefs under, and the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

It’s been 2 hours and I can already tell this is going to be my most popular post. See the replies. And I’m getting so many DMs from people who went through the same, I’m glad it’s connecting. 2 quick things - - please consider the solution!! it’s counterintuitive and no one considers it but it’s super effective - I hope managers see this too and use it as a tool to help their reports Quoting @threepointone new post: the senior engineer death spiral https://t.co/xzgU1jVBRh a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

So many people in the replies saying it's overcomplicated, and no proof that this works And then plenty other folks saying that at their startup/company they built this the below pretty much, and then a few new things Different speedlanes when it comes to agents + pipelines Quoting @GergelyOrosz Here's what OpenAI's agentic software factory looks like, today. Details: https://t.co/UUZufLxG2r (thanks to all the OpenAI folks who explained how it works! And Perf Factory looks especially interesting to me) startups Related

Writes Hyperdimensional, a newsletter on AI policy and governance. A White House AI policy adviser in 2025; joined OpenAI on 6 July 2026 to lead its Strategic Futures team.
op deleted his tweet (thanks I guess) but I get a ton of questions about why I sometimes limit replies, and if you’d like to know the answer you can look below. Quoting @deanwball @sponkostonko I limit my replies when it occurs to me to do so to make it slightly harder for people to threaten me and my family with violence, which happens frequently in my life now. It still happens, but at least with replies limited my wife is less likely to see it. Related

Deep-learning researcher and Turing Award laureate; founder of the Mila institute.
Over the past few days, I've taken the time to summarize my thoughts on the recent incidents involving agents’ misaligned behavior. We don't know with certainty what comes next, but we know where these issues originate, and this can help us plan the path forward. Please feel free to ask your questions in the replies, and I’ll try to answer some of them in the coming weeks. yoshuabengio.org

Machine learning engineer and independent AI consultant. He writes about LLM evaluation, tooling and applied ML at hamel.dev, and previously worked on machine learning at GitHub.
Curious why machine learning is not applied to the X timeline more? If somebody is replying once a minute for 8 hours they should be flagged. When I look at reply bot replies its super obvious Quoting @simonw Question for people who run autoreply bots here: are you not worried about the negative impact they have on your professional reputation? Anyone checking your profile here - a potential future employer for example - will instantly be able to tell you automated replies with a bot Related

Developer and podcaster; created Instapaper and Overcast, co-founded Tumblr, and co-hosts the Accidental Tech Podcast.
RE: https://infosec.exchange/@clayton/117175171619298911 It's OK. This feature is awesome, and one I use heavily. Every social network needs a few mutes here and there. Nobody inherently deserves anyone’s attention. If someone replies in a way that makes me think, "I'd rather not hear from this person again,” I just mute forever. No aggressive block, no report or feedback, no way for them to know. It's not meant to send a message, get revenge, or influence anyone else — just tailor my feed for me. Related

how do you think about how SSH public key authentication works (versus passwords) and what about your mental model makes you trust it? please only answer if you _don't_ understand the math of how RSA (or elliptic curves etc) works, I'm interested in exploring what it means to understand the interfaces around public key authentication without actually learning number theory (also obviously do not try to explain the math to me, also don't explain to folks in replies unless specifically asked) Related

there's something rotten in the air when >90% of the replies to a tweet like this are mean spirited sure, it might not be your thing and it's easy to forget this box doesn't go straight into the void. but can we try to bring more kindness into the world?

Hosts the Lex Fridman Podcast — long, unhurried conversations with scientists, engineers and public figures. Several of the interviews quoted elsewhere on this site are episodes of it.
It was an honor to hang out with Jensen Huang, CEO of @nvidia, and do a long-form podcast with him. Really fun & fascinating technical deep-dive conversation on & off the mic. One of the most brilliant & thoughtful human beings I've ever met. NVIDIA is the most valuable company in the world by market cap and is the engine powering the AI revolution. Podcast probably out tomorrow (Monday) unless I get stuck in too many interesting conversations while running around in SF ;-) PS: I haven't checked my messages in days. Sorry for slow replies 🙏 Trying to stay deeply focused at in overwhelmingly… Related

Research scientist at Anthropic; co-creator of the Variational Autoencoder and, with Jimmy Ba, of the Adam optimizer, two of the most widely used tools in deep learning.
Funny how the replies reveal that many people can't actually shape rotate in their mind Quoting @ylecun To people who claim that "thinking and reasoning require language", here is a problem: Imagine standing at the North Pole of the Earth. Walk in any direction, in a straight line, for 1 km. Now turn 90 degrees to the left. Walk for as long as it takes to pass your starting point. Have you walked: 1.… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
