New comment by Zsfe510asG in "AI didn't kill programming, you did"

Zsfe510asG — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 18:36:45 +0000

The entire article is correct in the description of open source bootlickers helping the assimilation of the entire ecosystem by corporations.

I wonder about the short conclusion:

"But I don't think these AI tools pose a threat to individual programmers. My prediction is it will free us from the corporate framing, and provide a whole new way to realize our visions."

How will the tools free a programmer who was productive before the laundromats?

No it does not, and your takedown is exactly the kind of water carrying for corporations that the article criticizes.

Have a nice day, conditioned sheep.

New comment by Zsfe510asG in "Demonstration Against Thiel Receiving the Axel Springer Award"

Zsfe510asG — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:09:31 +0000

This is notable for two reasons:

1) Axel Springer, which apart from its scientific publishing runs major conservative newspapers "Die Welt" and "Bild" in Germany, is a neocon, transatlantic publisher that is against MAGA, AfD but pro-industry and pro US.

Thiel receiving the award exposes him as a standard conservative establishment neocon who just used Trump.

2) Thiel accepts the award from a German publisher who often puts US interests above German interests.

The angle of the demonstration is of course different, but I was surprised to learn of the award recipient.

Yes, the site has one of the best layouts and UI ever.

Zsfe510asG — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:16:23 +0000

If they don't rely on the original works why do they incorporate them in the training corpus? But they do, so it is a derivative work.

When the industry favored copyright, it made sure to do clean room implementations of software by competitors. Programmers who had even read a single line were disqualified.

AI reads everything, so it is not a clean room implementation. The EFF knows this of course and still supports the industry (which is now of the side of theft, unless it is distilling).

Zsfe510asG — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:04:28 +0000

There are no viable free versions with sufficient computing power. The do-it-yourself AI is dangled as a carrot in front of users to camouflage the lock-in and rent seeking by Big AI. Go prove something new like Navier Stokes (replicating N-S itself no longer counts due to scraping and plagiarism) on your Mac Pro!

Paid influencers who perpetuate the open narrative are a whole new industry.

Even if there were open models, it is still IP theft and would not be "democratization" but "forced unpaid nationalization".

Gemini is underrated in that it produces the only prose that is somewhat bearable to read.

This is so shameless. The Economist ==> influences "elite" readers who will dangle the Nobel carrot in front of Trump ==> influence Trump (who does not read The Economist).

Bun rewrite and FLT formalization had nearly identical resource usage

Zsfe510asG — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 17:07:45 +0000

The Bun rewrite took 11 days and used 5.9B tokens:

The FLT formalization took 11 days (!) and used 6B tokens.

Why the similar numbers? Why are the numbers so low? 6B is just enough for 6 agents at 1000 tokens/s running for 11 days.

New comment by Zsfe510asG in "How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?"

Zsfe510asG — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 11:31:48 +0000

It would matter if we had politicians who acted before bubbles collapse instead of bailing out the perpetrators after the fact.

New comment by Zsfe510asG in "How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?"

Zsfe510asG — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 11:30:22 +0000

Zitron predicted the downfall of Oracle as someone mentioned below. He also predicted that the overhyped data center construction plans (Project Stargate, repeated vague Nvidia pledges) would not materialize.

If he got MSFT's cloud revenue growth wrong for this year, how much of that is selling shovels to OpenAI and how much is circular?

stillpointlab.com: "Get more from your LLM"

I'm sure that an admittedly great mathematician who is sponsored by the "AI for Math" fund and math.inc (which literally wants to corporatize mathematics!) is very appealing to LLM startups.

SV is also in denial that AI is the final straw that makes people leave the Internet.

It is more concrete now. For example the footage that was released about the Kirk shooter showed that you are filmed everywhere, including in residential areas.

People are beginning to understand.

So did they distill Mythos in the "Macrohard" data centers? Can Grok hack now and get a free AISI commercial?

New comment by Zsfe510asG in "Anthropic AI created fake profiles and impersonated people in attempted hack"

Zsfe510asG — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 14:13:44 +0000

AISI is one of the biggest promoters of OpenAI/Anthropic. The UK government of course submits to the US and favors these corporations as well as Palantir.

It is also a perfect demonstration why AI is so popular: Anyone can write about it, it is easy and not mentally demanding to create scenarios, tests and whitepapers.

So it is popular among bureaucrats and managers for their job security.
