Damn! Good job!

Do you happen to be pregnant a lot?

This is like the OJ trial if OJ wore a shirt that read "I did murder people and this is a legally binding disclaimer." and the prosecuter wore a shirt that said "My prosecution is unfair, biased and illegal." and also both of them were on record eating deep fried babies.

Just fuck off to mars or whatever. All of the people involved in this. Just leave us alone, instead of squabbling over who gets to bury their swollen, pigass face deeper into the through no person with a shred of a human soul is allowed anywhere near.

I used to somewhat dislike him as a bit of an abrasive, unpleasant guy, but it turns some jobs you just really need an asshole for.

He's a real social justice warrior in the most literal, positive sense and he's using his platform for good.

If AI produced high quality outputs, people wouldn't complain about AI use, because there would be no way to tell things are produced by AI. They complain because they can tell, because it's largely garbage.

I have been working extensively through Claude Code, with usage paid by my job, and if you want anything mildly serious that isn't just webapp slop reinventing the same onboarding page over and over, it it takes poring over pretty much every single thing it produces to make sure it didn't just fuck it all up. You have to handhold it at every step of the way, constantly build up validation pipelines. It's still worth it to me, and I suppose my boss, because it allows me to rapidly begin developing with fairly specific tooling I have very little experience with, and I can just get an MVP out of the door in days instead of spending months on learning the proper way. But it's not without making short term sacrifices to code quality and accepting that it's a shortcut that's producing tech debt that'll be due later. It has a purpose, but people firing off that janky ass code that they don't intend to ever maintain into someone else's codebase must be insanely infuriating.

US hasn't been a reliable ally to anyone sans maybe Israel in decades.

It has been kinda absurd to maintain the whole "Huawei networking devices are a security risk, they could sniff our traffic!" and then go and voluntarily put all the data directly into datacenters under a government that boasts its fairly comprehensive surveillance access to everything under it, often including by-its-own-laws illegal terms, and has been overtly more belligerent to EU in recent history than China has been in decades.

To be fair, if you work anywhere that's making you use a Windows computer, Google services, Zoom, Slack and like, probably close to 2/3rds of commonly utilized enterprise OS, you're also helping train your replacement. In many cases, you're probably helping train several different AI vendor models that'll compete to replace you.

...which will make you redundant and secure your layoff, or you will quit in frustration, trying!

Do you feel at least a little bit of an urge to make a honeypot version that no human would ever download on accident but which CIs would grab, that'd simply fail unpredictably, maybe with error messages that'd be extremely clear to a human but contain some safety guardrail breaking verbiage that'd take an LLM for a lengthy thinking token loop?

I mean, why not?

It feels like it'd be in the best self interest of all the agentic "developers" to mirror all the open source sources and documentation in decentralized, peer to peer manner. It should be pretty trivial to get an identical "security" guarantee by just validating checksums of whatever you download with the authoritative hosts at fraction of cost to them, while potentially saving everyone a lot of bandwidth and time, as it's pretty likely half the time the agents would just download the sources from the bazillion other agents fetching the same libraries from within the same datacenter.

With how bleak things look with Github, it feels like something decentralized to host FOSS will be needed sooner rather than later anyway, outside of the infinite needs of our infinite monkeys.
