- Comment on Why so much hate toward AI? 2 weeks ago:
- Useless fake spam content.
- Posting AI slop ruins the “social” part of social media. You’re not reading real human thoughts anymore, just statistically plausible words.
- Same with machine-generated “art”. What’s the point?
- AI companies are leeches; they steal work for the purpose of undercutting the original creators with derivative content.
- Vibe coders produce utter garbage that nobody, including hemselves don’t understand, and somehow are smug about it.
- A lot of AI stuff is a useless waste of resources.
Most of the hate is justified, IMO. Some I think is not. A week ago I died on the hill arguing that an LLM can be useful as a code documentation search engine. Once the train started, even a reply that thought software libraries contain books got upvotes.

Care to explain how that would have worked?

I don’t know how much of it was ATI’s fault or the fab’s, but my understanding is that no one had experience handling that amount of heat.

Surely you’re also powering those appliances wirelessly
- Comment on Having to manage cables is a very 80s thing that we still have to do in 2025. 4 weeks ago:
“A very 80s thing” is an odd way to put it.
I hate cables sometimes, but I also don’t like managing batteries.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 4 weeks ago:
The worst I’ve got so far hasn’t been hallucinated “books”, but stuff like functions from a previous major version of the api mixed in.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to use an LLM as a documentation search engine, but I guess this opinion lost the popular vote.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I guess that can happen. For me, it has saved much more time than it has wasted, but I’ve only used it on relatively popular libraries with stable apis, and don’t ask for complex things.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 4 weeks ago:
If you don’t know what the code is doing, you’re vibe coding. The point is to not waste time searching. Obviously you’re supposed to check the docs yourself, but that’s much less tedious time consuming than finding it.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 4 weeks ago:
Unlike vibe coding, asking an LLM how to access some specific thing in a library when you’re not even sure what to look for is a legitimate use case.
- Comment on Can you read and understand this passage? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, although slowly. It might be bad because I don’t speak English natively.

Pretty interesting. The series of posts involves dave plummer and adam neely, who I never expected to see in the same context.

Who runs a malicious spam campaign with their own name and face? If the pictures are stolen, setting up a whole meme community is kind of a shit thing to do.
- Comment on Just sayin’ bro 3 months ago:
She’s actually the real spammer?

I really feel bad for whoever is in these pictures.
- Comment on Favorite Racing Game Soundtrack? 3 months ago:
I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.
