> Classic reddit..

That sub used to be the absolute best place to get the latest in LLM developments. The worst thing that happened to the sub was karpathy making it popular with a tweet. Since then it's been overrun by a whole bunch of drama, toxic behaviour and useless bots, and the quality content has cratered.

There was a mod crisis and new mods came in, with really weird stuff (integrations with discord and such), lots of bots became active with useless posts and "engagement" bait, the chinese labs are all fighting eachother on who's better every time there's a release, claude-induced-manias on "papers" this and "zenodo" that (everyone is a researcher now, everyone is inventing a subquadratic attention, led by claude hallucinated stuff), they have an obsession with "local only", leading to removing any discussion about SotA (which is entirely counter productive) and so on.
