Must read. We all know the cognitive damage and other harms done to users of genAI, but here is behind the scenes reporting on the psychological costs and trauma to workers from vulnerable communities in places like India who are paid pennies to do AI “training” data annotation.

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

The reason "AI" has settled on "chat" as interface is because what they are actually selling is domination. They are selling you having a personal slave. That's their hook.

Hab das Gefühl, dass die ai debatte ähnlich zur dark souls/ "git gud" debatte verläuft. Nur, dass die die damals git gud geschrien haben jetzt pro ai sind...

good article

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Hmmm

The real problem is that the only people qualified to drive an agentic coding model are people who are intimately familiar with the codebase and *familiarity with the codebase drops when you vibe code* See, for example, the recent study commissioned by Anthropic: arxiv.org/abs/2601.20245

Is this a good state of affairs? Is the moral of the story that the maintainer should cut out out the middleman and just adopt agentic coding themselves? I'd argue no. The problem here is NOT that the vibe coder inserted themselves as a middleman into this process. There's a deeper problem…

Why? Because now the maintainer is the person driving the agentic coding model (the vibe coder has almost certainly checked out at this point and is just shoveling the maintainer's review comments and the model's commits back and forth) This turns the maintainer into an unwitting vibe coder

So what will they do? They will blindly feed your review comments straight to their agentic coding model because that's the only thing they know how to do. By doing so the vibe coder has put the maintainer in the weird position where the maintainer is doing agentic coding through a shitty UX

Now suppose the pull request is not up to snuff. You the reviewer suggest a few changes. Is the vibe coder going to read your review comments? Hell no! The whole reason they vibe coded the PR in the first place is that they don't want to do the work of understanding the code.

Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

Milliardäre sollten nach all den Enthüllungen ab sofort unter Generalverdacht gestellt werden.

I've got a new pattern for y'all ✨ #art #crossstitch

Y'all. My "genai is for losers" piece is being perceived by artists that I've been fangirling over for ages. I. ??? HAAAAAA?! 😭🥹

Mit der Linken Vermögensteuer hätten wir auf einen Schlag 100 Milliarden Euro mehr Geld zur Verfügung - für Schulen, Kitas, Straßen und den Nahverkehr. Das zeigen auch die Ergebnisse der DIW Studie eindeutig. Der Reichtum gehört uns allen. Holen wir ihn uns zurück. #Vermögen

100%. I hate, deeply hate, how many genuinely useful tools are getting encrusted with genai. Especially accessibility tools like text to speech, vice versa, ocr, spell check...

It still infuriates me how heavily they pushed the idea that "Generative ai" would grant accessibility when it did the opposite It made many things less accessible, in addition to stealing from many artists who used art/writing as a form of income

Anytime I've seen someone say "AI makes <thing> accessible", they meant "AI let me reap the rewards of doing <thing> w/o having to learn how to do it". Where <thing> is often drawing, code, filmography, graphic design, etc. They don't mean "accessible", they are just using our language against us.

Explaining to an adult that yes, to do some technical thing you have to both learn how to do that thing + then do that thing makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Learning new skills, creating things, asking for help is cool as hell. These are not problems. They don't need to be solved.

Worse, we're now seeing the inverse: these people think that being expected to learn the thing to do it properly--or having to actually do the thing to reap the rewards--is "gatekeeping". Tell someone to read the docs? "Gatekeeping with homework." Mention difficulty levels? "Gatekeeping skills" ...

Bin wahrlich kein fan der grünen, aber der post unterschlägt, dass dieser artikel vom November letzten jahres ist, und Özdemir im Dezember "zurück gerudert" ist: www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deut...

Anthropic stellt eine Textdatei mit 2500 Zeilen Spaghetticode ins Repo und die super duper Firmenlenker vernichten auf einen Schlag aus Panik 275 Milliarden Dollar. Ungefähr die Hälfte eines deutschen Haushaltsjahres. Irre.

new blog post about: makin' it easier to integrate elaborate (or not) contextual character animation stuff into gameplay in @sleightofhand.game. Like all the best shit, this is not so much technically impressive as workflowily excellent. www.joewintergreen.com/contextual-a...

In meiner Erinnerung ist Polarkreis 18 das krasseste one hit wonder...

Starmer — a prosecutor with a huge majority, coming in after years of sleaze and mendacity — could have weaponised the corruption of his opponents to incredible advantage. Instead he will be ruined by the living avatar of corruption in his own party. To not see that coming is a serious skill issue.

Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things

Vholume demo is out! Movement feels extremely on point and is second nature after just a couple of minutes. There is no story in this yet, it's just racing against time. I love the way this looks, it's very Niheiesque.

Suda51 (known for posting deals on socials) said no Ai was used in 'Romeo is a Dead Men'. Netease had a section which researched gen Ai in game development but they shut it down and told their studios to not use Ai in games. www.eurogamer.net/romeo-is-a-d...

Sorry for being nosy but I’m in a pretty quiet airport. a woman sat down next to a much older pilot here in the food court and started very obviously flirting with him but he absolutely cannot stop listing off aviation facts to her regardless of whatever question she asks him

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

Finally some quality content to start posting on Bsky

jp game developer in the 90's: so we're making a bass fishing game composer: oh hell yeah i got you [adds "drop the bass" sample] jp game developer: no no like the fish composer: what fish?

Fuck ai. And fuck you if you depend on ai. Learn something.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Googelt mal ducktyping.

Schade, dass Özdemir Palantir doch weghaben will. Das Wahlplakat hätte witzig verschönert werden können.

Licht ist besser jetzt.

Hab übers Wochenende ne fuji gfx für n kleines projektchen. Erwartet mehr katzenbilder die ich zum testen schieße. Momentan kämpfe ich noch mit Belichtung. 🙃
