Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.

As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.

True. So in six months, the market will be flooded with cheap, barely-used “AI” server hardware no one wants, and RAM for PCs will still be stupid expensive, because we live in the stupidest timeline.

In six months, the market will be absolutely flooded with cheap barely-used RAM.

We have. Every day. Whether we want to or not.

It feels like that fucking asshole has been raping our minds for years.

A software developer found out that the failing company they’re at, which was winding down for business reasons, decided to try becoming a zombie company by replacing its software stack (and employees) with a vibe-coded SaaS piece of garbage that’s broken in dozens of ways.

You misread what I wrote. I didn’t say it couldn’t fool me, I said I’ll never pay for it. I’m not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it’s faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I’m going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.

There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.

Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.

Not really. I’m using Copilot for my job because I’m required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it’s okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.

Every experiment I’ve run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available… I have no fucking idea how these “AI” companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.

There is exactly one situation in which it sort of makes sense: Copilot integrated with VS Code, running repo-specific commands like yarn build, with direct human oversight.

That’s it. That’s the only situation.

You do know you can use AD with Linux, don’t you?

For people who didn’t read the whole article, you really should. It touches on the fact that Derek Huffman ended up sent to the front lines in the war against Ukraine, and for a while there were rumors he’d died there.

It also talks about another family that did the same thing and immediately got swindled out of everything, with Russia’s famously corrupt law enforcement doing nothing to help them against the swindler.

The thing is, it really won’t. The context window isn’t large enough, especially for a decently-sized application, and that seems to be a fundamental limitation. Make the context window too large, and the LLM gets massively offtrack very easily, because there’s too much in it to distract it.

And LLMs don’t remember anything. The next time you interact with it and put the whole codebase into its context window again, it won’t know what it did before, even if the last session was ten minutes ago. That’s why they so frequently create bloat.

Well, if I’m not, then neither is an LLM.

But for most projects built with modern tooling, the documentation is fine, and they mostly have simple CLIs for scaffolding a new application.

Yeah, I have never spent “days” setting anything up. Anyone who can’t do it without spending “days” struggling with it is not reading the documentation.

I’m a software developer and my company is piloting the use of LLMs via Copilot right now. All of them suck to varying degrees, but everyone’s consensus is that GPT5 is the worst of them. (To be fair, no one has tested Grok, but that’s because no one in the company wants to.)

On top of that, there’s so much AI slop all over the internet now that the training for their models is going to get worse, not better.

They’ll ask their parents, or look up cooking instructions on actual websites.

Venture capital drying up.

Here’s the thing… No LLM provider’s business is making a profit. None of them. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Not even Google (they’re profitable in other areas, obviously). OpenAI optimistically believes it might start being profitable in 2029.

What’s keeping them afloat? Venture capital. And what happens when those investors decide to stop throwing good money after bad?

BOOM.

Oh, you can fuck right off with that nonsense. I’m not both-sidesing anything. Israel committed (and is going to commit, almost certainly) more genocide. They are absolutely the bad guys here. Acknowledging that Hamas hasn’t been good for Palestine either isn’t at all the same thing as pretending they’re as bad as a country committing genocide.
