What an uninformed take! That's why we have labor laws and such a thing as "wrongful termination" exists.

NFTs and crypto were also the future.

> I don't think we'll ever manually write code again. It's just so much faster.

More work for the people who like to fix tech debt.

It's not like there were ads with real doctors recommending Camel cigarettes.

It's not like the browser "breakthrough" recently which pulled 300 OSS dependencies together, removed attribution and called the mess "working".

The desperation of the Samas, Musks, Satyas and Anthropics of this world and their fanbase to paint marginal 0.0001337% improvements in a gamed SWE ranking as something worth any attention is just delicious. Opus 4.6? Please, more like Opus 4.5.0.2-RC. All I hear is the sound of a bubble going pop. Delightful.

I see it more as dumpster fire setting a whole mountain of garbage on fire while a bunch of simians look at the flames and make astonished wuga wuga noises.

AI issued PRs or issues being called "contributions" is like me dumping my garbage in front of your house and calling it a "donation".

We should all agree with each other and sing along how lucky Venezuelans are that US, the self proclaimed world police, came to steal their oil and bomb their capital (terrorism/war crime)?

A "military operation" in another country's territory (without declaring war, like a coward) and entering their capital is the same as ICC wanted military criminal Putin did to Ukraine.

No, simply a good choice of words.

- The investments in data centers to support the hungry slop producers drive habitat extinction and resource depletion that could be used for better things than a programmer too inept to write a for loop (https://news.mit.edu/2025/explained-generative-ai-environmen...)

- The electricity demand from LLMs drives local electricity prices up so we as a society (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/business/energy-environme...). Not only that, but criminals like Belon Pusk provide electricity for their N*zi bots by totally ignoring environmental rules and regulations and just giving a huge methane middle finger to all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VJT2JeDCyw)

- LLM makes its users dumber and dependent on them in general (https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/ove...)

- LLMs are created and trained by stealing labor (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/04/us-authors-cop..., https://www.wired.com/story/new-documents-unredacted-meta-co...)

Spam itself is useless and bad, electricity, water and other resources, bits and bytes of attention taken from this world so somebody can try to convince you the next thing you need in your life is a plastic piece of trash or another version of a phone with marginal upgrades.

What Rob received is worse than spam, it's Spam 2.0. It's even less environmentally friendly, serves no purpose, and it makes its users dumber and dumber (and the inevitable bubble pop will take the whole economy with it because people were delusional enough to invest in a behemoth money guzzler with no path ever to profitability). Yeah, he works for EvilCorp, but it's never too late to grow a conscience. If you yourself are not angry and you consider it a "silly thing", you are part of the problem (see part about LLMs making populations dumber en masse).

The same way we name and shame petrol and plastic CEOs whose trash products flood our environment, we should be able to shame slop makers. Digital trash is still trash.

Thats why the only study up to date on developer productivity with AI shows 19% reduction of productivity and the most up to date study on LLM usage in the enterprise show that 95% of projects with LLMs fail.

I'd say its bad faith to claim LLMs are useful considering all studies so far show the opposite.

Hate to break it to you, but if GPT-5 is better AI researcher than you, you were probably not that good to begin with.

Does Codex tell you why 95% of AI projects in the enterprise fail? Or why the only study up to date on merits of AI for coding shows 19% decrease of productivity.

Is a quote often wrongly attributed to Mr. Fascism Benito Mussolini himself, but whoever said it had made a damn good point. Be aware that what you are seeing now fits the exact and precise definition of fascism.

It's amusing seeing the US descend so quickly in pure unadulterated fascism and the amount of denial and attempts to sugar coat it or window dress in places like HN. Then forums like this will go dark, and next thing you know, the brownshirts from the modern Gestapo/Stasi/ICE would be knocking on your door.

Make no mistake about Google and Apple: moderating anti fascist apps or content is abetting fascism (that applies to HN mods as well).

Nor would it stop us from boycotting Israel and calling out their genocide.

Sam, Elon, Zuck are conmen, husks of people, empty inside and not knowing what to do with themselves but hoard money. In their pointless quest to become the proverbial dragon on a mountain of gold, they are trying to control, bully and manipulate the world to their vision of how it should be.

We know how this goes:

- Facebook contributed to multiple atrocities and genocides, actively promoted warlords and dictators

- Twitter after being acquired from Musk is just an echo chamber of fascism and white supremacy and misinformation

- Sam...is just..a slimy dude. He made a coup in something that was supposed to be free and open, and made it ugly and about money and profits, riding on the work of idealists and forgetting all his pledges and manifestos just in the pursuit of money

Those people rising to power and prominence is not inevitable. If only they had childhood validation, I think they might have turned out to be normal people and done less harm to the world. Sadly, they were probably neglected as children or dropped on their head repeatedly. I blame the parents.

Absolutely cooked.

After the disaster that was chatGPT4.001, study mode and now this: an impossibly expensive to maintain AI video slop copyright violater, their releases are uninspired and bland, and smelling of desperation.

Making me giddy for their imminent collapse.
