"We need to get a fund going for that employee who is married to the CEO." "Why!" "Because whoever he is, he needs a water proof phone." "Why!" "Because this guy, I wish I could remember his name, threw his in a pool." "Why!" "Whoever it was said it needed to cool down." "Why!" …

I'm cracking up listening to this

Aww I'm not on the anti-AI block list? Okay, let me make this clearer... FUCK GEN AI! My games are human-made! Yes, even my crappy code!!

Oh cool they blocked me too. That I can understand - I talk shit about them constantly. I'm probably on all the "AI hater" block lists (deservedly so)

aidirtylist.info/entities/duc... Hoping that @duckduckgo.com learned their lesson after the 90% no-AI poll results? I regret to inform you that they did not! They are running ads for "duck.ai" on YouTube RIGHT NOW! This company sucks!

As a California voter, I am starved for a (viable) gubernatorial candidate who is willing to take a strong anti-AI stance. @katieporterca.bsky.social I was probably going to vote for you, but then I found a video of you spewing this AI inevitabilist "we can't run from change" bullshit. W T F

This is happening all over the place. If you don't see it, it's because a lot of them are better executed operations.

[louder, as if that'll improve reception] THE BLUESKY DEVS WOULD BE VERY UPSET BY YOUR JOKES ABOUT VIBE CODING IF THEY COULD LOAD YOUR POSTS

I'm not one to laugh at anyone's pain during downtime, but if you are going to run around touting that a vastly-unpopular tool has helped your code while also acting like an entitled asshole, it cannot be a shocking surprise when users are quick to turn on you when things go bad.

Cool vibe-coded website, guys!!!1!

ProPublica journalists walk off the job in first U.S. newsroom strike over AI - On the picket line in New York, union leaders said they expect “more concentrated conflicts” over AI in the news industry. www.niemanlab.org/2026/04/prop...

HELL YEAH

Some timeline stuff: — We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks. — We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs. — Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

Happy to share that my new album, 'Oversail', is now available for preorder, with beautiful vinyl courtesy of Mystic & Quantum, featuring otherworldly art by @warls.bsky.social. Out on April 17th.

The way these people will eat up clearly fake rage bait just so they can posture about how horrible “the other side” is. Ofc, not a peep when they see an LLM told a child how sexy their body will look when their parents find them dead from having killed themself.

Sometimes the answer to “how do stupid things keep happening?” Is “people can find intelligent-sounding ways to rationalize anything”

1 yr ago I wrote a massive thread on @iea.org huge AI / energy report. WELL it's one year later and they've released an update, but notably, there is no chatbot. Well....I'm going to read it anyway, and you're all going to get spammed with notes :) that's means a NEW ULTRATHREAD 🧵

One thing that is especially difficult to accept, especially as a Canadian, is the vital importance of being enormously rude to sociopaths and narcissists trying to take advantage of your kindness. But it IS important. And it IS vital. Being appropriately disagreeable, when needed, saves lives.

Love this! Scapegoating AI art on disablility is trash, people with no hands paint with their feet. Artists through history are disabled! I'm one & tons of my homies. And bad art is great! People are allowed to make bad art. I wanna see every shitty amateur poem written for National Poetry Month!

consequence.net/2026/04/boar... you have no idea how badly I need this album in my life right now 😭

When vibe coders try to convince you that AI coding tools make them more efficient, just think about these outages. Advocating for vibe coding is advocating for taking shortcuts. People who take shortcuts tend to deliver poor results. These are poor results delivered by vibe coders.

Greetings all. I'm looking for a podcast producer to help do a (much) more regular BLOOD IN THE MACHINE show. I thought I'd start by reaching out here, and to the broader BITM community. If this sounds like it's up your alley, details are in the link below:

Why doesn't the very intelligent Bluesky developer team simply ask Claude to fix the server problem

New BOC incoming?! This is not a drill

If Bluesky engineers insist on crediting their successes to “AI” while praising vibe-coding, it’s only reasonable for the rest of us to blame their failures on “AI” and vibe-coding as well.

best part was the status page though

"bsky users blame every problem on vibe coding" yeah, dude. if you got a dog to code this website i wouldn't be wasting time asking which of you was the source of each new bug

NEW TMBG ALERT *rings the bell*

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

Like, I care a fair amount about my gender. I've put a decent amount of money and time into fine-tuning the way I look and my visual presentation in the world. But at the end of the day I care a lot more about Alan Moore comics.

How have I not heard about The AI Dirty List yet?? This is a really great idea for a project, no notes. https://aidirtylist.info/ @gryphonmyers.dev

And vibe coding makes an already terrible problem even worse! Let's ship not only the kitchen sink to the client, but thousands of lines of code we don't (and will never) understand, test files, source code, GPL violations and maybe a supply chain attack for good measure. Who cares iPhones are fast.

The real problem with the Third Reich's nuclear program was that it didn't use good German uranium.

The rehabilitation of the luddites is a beautiful thing

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

Nothing says "back" like "we can't get our enemy or our ally to abide by the terms of a ceasefire we desperately tried to hype up as a win for everyone"

I have been and will continue using the crap out of every single one of these features (that I wish I had like ten years ago)
