the shift from careful to careless software development has been happening for a good while. but i don't think we are prepared for how much LLMs are about to speed up that process. we'll see some truly spectacular failures any moment now

has anyone claimed to use coding agents to significantly reduce the complexity of a large and significant open source project? at least that would have some semblance of value. as opposed to all the versions of: i vibe coded a competitor to spotify over the weekend, this is the future, yeehaww

we can't wish STDs away. we should still teach people that they are bad for you. etc. etc.

another entry in the ongoing series of Steve from @gamersnexus.bsky.social losing his damn mind (laudatory): www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvah... (It's An Active Choice to Lie This Much | Micron's "Commitment" to Gamers)

the machine for literally and metaphorically poisoning the well has never been as good at poisoning the well as it is today. it will only improve!

writing hundreds of lines of code a day was bad then. writing thousands of lines of code a day is bad now

it feels like the auto correct on my phone is getting worse day by day

furthermore, OpenAI must be destroyed.

2027 will have widespread infrastructure problems caused by a vibe coded javascript library that nobody knows how to use, remove or fix

media are being Sam's helpful little helpers; writing articles about how we have to learn to use AI (for whatever) responsibly. it would be nice if they exercised a little critical thought for once

we can't wish STDs away. we should still teach people that they are bad for you. etc. etc.

phones are computers

Playing around with generating asemic Thuluth calligraphy using #Clojure code…

the (most recent) Alternative Office of Geometry has issued another orb alert. status: CYAN

furthermore, OpenAI must be destroyed.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

amazing how much a -1 can mess up your whole thing - refraction is now using the real geometry instead of some weird mirror world

2026 will be an exceptional year for not buying a computer.

2025 has been an incredible year for using computers to make things worse

another shot from the expedition. excuse the image quality. the intern only brought the old digital SLR. apparently it has a more satisfying shutter sound

everything is normal

i will never forgive the techbros for ruining computer computer was the only thing i liked

2025 has been an incredible year for using computers to make things worse

matrix multiplication make line go up good

If you think machine learning in its current state is in any way a precursor to AGI, you probably have an incredibly low resolution model of reality. It's just such a fundamentally ludicrous notion, which would be fine if the supposed "top" minds in tech and finance werent falling for this shit

what if computers were useful, though

here is an improved render after fixing several issues in the volume light. (rendered in 108 min. 512 iter.)

the intern swears everything was normal at the Office of Geometry when they left last night. and now this

the intern is running their favorite test cycle on The Big Lights

Steve from Gamers Nexus is growing increasingly unhinged (laudatory). and i'm here for it

don't get left behind! invest in the orphan crushing machine today; you will save so much time on orphan crushing!

using a computer is a very efficient way to experience new problems

there are still messages trickling in on this (linux) chromium issue. where they removed a feature that has been present for as long as i can remember, because it "wasn't widely used". good job

vibes, bad

doing IT consulting is going to be pretty lucrative in ~3-5 years; when there are hardly anyone who remembers how to use a computer anymore

the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now

doing IT consulting is going to be pretty lucrative in ~3-5 years; when there are hardly anyone who remembers how to use a computer anymore

what happens in between the queries to an LLM? is there a loop that reminds it to "breath in, breathe out, breathe in, breath out" or what

and furthermore, OpenAI must be destroyed

knowing how stuff works is good, actually

the thing about "AI" "agents" is a depressing number of people move through the world as if they are the only real person in it. when they "talk to" these chatbots they don't notice the shallowness because that's as far as they ever plumb anyway. the obvious if:then shadowplay fools them completely

the orphan crushing machine uses hardly any electricity. it uses orphans.

This is quite complex to explain to a complete layperson but the two things are so completely different, and obviously so to people who understand them, that it takes some mental realigning to even think of how to approach explaining this, but I'll try (it'll take a thread, sorry).

i would be embarrassed to post that i've discovered that my code should have docs and tests; so that some agent system can write more of it. but apparently some people aren't

aphantasia is a blessing in the sense that i can't visualise any of the OpenAI generated Disney porn we are about to witness

chromium recently (!) removed mmb to paste recently selected (in linux) search term/url directly into a new tab. because it "wasn't a widely used feature". this is what i mean when i say that nobody knows how to use a computer, ffs: issues.chromium.org/issues/45749...

surely there is a pocket with room for at least one tiny battery in this space suit
