I haven’t booted windows in like 6 months and I game on my desktop PC like 4 times a week.
- Comment on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC’s Tech Scene Is Not 5 days ago:
They’re worried he will succeed and serve as an example that the people rather than money are in charge, if they could only realize it
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
The problem is that you don’t realize that writing code that is difficult to maintain is in fact not a sign of intelligence, or “power level”.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
Before LLMs people were often saying this about people smarter than the rest of the group. “Yeah he was too smart and overengineered solutions that no one could understand after he left,”.
This part.

You’re looking for an MCP server, which is the standard way to hook things into chatbots now, and safeguards would depend on the particular server.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
Wow you just completely destroyed any credibility about your software development opinions.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
Wut. At software shops the prevailing atmosphere is that you should use it and broadcast it as much as possible. This person’s experience is not normal
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
I don’t use one, and my coworkers that do use them are very loud about it, and worse at their jobs than they were a year ago.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
“Some random people were wrong about something in the past so nobody is allowed to speculate that any technology isn’t as revolutionary as it’s hyped to be ever again” is not a useful or compelling argument.
- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 1 week ago:
I think a lot of people are going to struggle getting their head around the idea of voice being a reliable, primary input method when using a PC, but with agentic AI and the ability for the OS to understand user intent and natural language, it’s going to feel a lot more natural than you might think.
You’re damn right we’re going to struggle. I won’t believe it is reliable enough to be anything but infuriating until I see it.
- Comment on What happens when chatbots shape your reality? Concerns are growing online 1 week ago:
Mainstream media. For instance when Dario Amodei says AI is going to replace x% of jobs by 2027 the media prints it and doesn’t ask why he thinks that or ask where the numbers come from. It’s wild speculation and it does not get treated as such.
- Comment on What happens when chatbots shape your reality? Concerns are growing online 1 week ago:
They also mindlessly broadcast whatever lies the CEOs of the big tech company’s are telling. Do you complain about that pattern too? No? You just don’t like anything negative about AI? Interesting.

Let’s just pretend nothing after MySpace ever happened

- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 1 week ago:
Private repos, if you don’t need a forge, can easily be pushed to a VPS with ssh
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 2 weeks ago:
It’s interesting that the media sites that historically steered clear of economics are starting to talk about it (this is not a new revelation)
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 2 weeks ago:
Why do you think it will happen?
- Comment on OpenAI claims GPT-5 AI model can provide PhD-level expertise. 2 weeks ago:
Saying you’re right over and over again without having a logical reason doesn’t make you right lol
- Comment on OpenAI claims GPT-5 AI model can provide PhD-level expertise. 2 weeks ago:
Someone using a lightbulb isn’t a hypocrite if they say it is irresponsible to use the resources to power a computer, and someone using the internet isn’t a hypocrite if they say the absurdly higher resource usage of llm inference is irresponsible.
You can call people hypocrites all day if you pretend that scale isn’t a concept, but you’re obviously wrong.
- Comment on OpenAI's 'Jailbreak-Proof' New Models? Hacked on Day One 2 weeks ago:
“AI” has a massive inability (or is purposefully deceptive) to distinguish the difference between bugs, which can be fixed, and fundamental aspects of the technology that disqualify it from various applications.
I think the more likely story is that they know this can be done, know about this particular jailbreak person, can replicate their work (because they didn’t so anything they hadn’t done with previous models in the first place), and are straight up lying and betting the people that matter to their next investment round (scam continuation) won’t catch wind.
You’re giving these grifters way too much credit.
- Comment on OpenAI's 'Jailbreak-Proof' New Models? Hacked on Day One 2 weeks ago:
Ok? Either openai knows that and lies about their capabilities, or they don’t know it and are incompetent. That’s the real story here.
- Comment on OpenAI claims GPT-5 AI model can provide PhD-level expertise. 2 weeks ago:
Are you trying to say that making a series of http requests to view a website is even remotely equivalent in energy usage compared to running inference with an llm model???
- Comment on OpenAI claims GPT-5 AI model can provide PhD-level expertise. 2 weeks ago:
It helps that the media propagates everything he says as if it is truth when he’s obviously lying like 80% of the time.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 2 weeks ago:
No u lol
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 2 weeks ago:
Any “experienced” developer that says these AI tools have drastically increased their productivity is full of shit
- Comment on Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more 3 weeks ago:
There are people who both get llm summaries of their emails and get llm to rewrite what they send. It’s amazing that anyone can’t see how incredibly stupid it is
- Comment on Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more 3 weeks ago:
Believe it or not I can complain about more than one thing at a time.
- Comment on Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more 3 weeks ago:
Not really. None of what has been going on with diffusion models has been anything but hyper scaling. It’s not really making fundamental advances in technology it’s that they decided what they had at the scale they had makes convincing enough demos that the scam could start.
- Comment on ChatGPT users shocked to learn their chats were in Google search results 3 weeks ago:
I’ve always been under the impressing that the little grey supporting text being little and grey is because the designer didn’t want it read but was required to put it somewhere. A dark pattern, if you will. Is it actually not intended that way?
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 3 weeks ago:
Or, I could just write it myself, instead of ending up like these guys sketch.dev/…/our-first-outage-from-llm-written-co…
