  He can suck my Huang for pushing that sort of utter idiocy.

  You and your ilk helped make the industry and economy what it is by, you know, not building any fabs in the US for fucking AGES. We HAD fabs. We stopped making fabs because Taiwan and SK got really good at fabs too, and had cheaper labor, so we decided to stop fucking competing. Which has pretty goddamn obvious implications.

  If they use the hub-and-spoke model for their routes, would Des Moines be their CornHub?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Is still making code worse: A new CMU study confirms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Vibe coding as a practice needs to be burned at the stake. It’s actively terrible, in a lot of ways - some subtle, some obvious.

  ML can and does do some incredible things. LLMs are not in that category.

  Also, vid/imagegen needs to die in a fire, because holy fuck is it caustic to society at an insanely broad level.

  Is PragerU in on that action? Because they horrify me, and it’s also exactly what I’d expect them to do.

  Well, we’re not even anywhere close to AGI yet, and the underlying problem of “the people running everything these days are not programmed to value living things - only money”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maximum-severity vulnerability threatens 6% of all websites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit, really? Crucial? They’ve been a major player for AGES. That’s wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmfao these agentic editors are like giving root access to a college undergrad who thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is on a production server. With predictably similar results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty logical if you think about it. Control the flow of information and you largely control what and how a population thinks, and how public discourse is conducted. It’s a bloodless coup.

  More succinctly: it’s technofascism

  With you so far

  that focuses more on growth than profit

  Ah - there’s your problem. VC companies simply don’t do that.
