Even if it does speed me up, coding with LLMs suck all the joy out of writing software. Constantly babysitting the agent(s) and reviewing their output carefully is probably more exhausting than just writing things myself..

I too (like many others) want a proper decentralized community/platform, with proper incentives and privacy-respecting mechanisms baked in. Hard to justify such an ambitious project while going against the existing network effects of Reddit/Discord though, and taking VC money probably warps incentives and hurts trust...

Yeah, there's nothing stopping someone getting verified and still spewing AI slop, but I think well-paid, highly incentivized moderation is still important for this to work(?)

I haven't been on Blind in years, but it was always hilarious to read posts like "Why do I have no friends or hobbies? TC 500K"

Wishing everyone happy holidays! I’m so grateful for this amazing community.
