sorry but good god what an asshole this writer sounds like. a majority of people go to costco because it’s drastically simplifies the grocery shopping experience and saves money. easier to buy for 3 weeks at a time vs once a week, reduces decision paralysis on basic goods from fake variety at the grocery store, and again for a cheaper price than most places around

reducing the experience to “settling into the drudgery of middle age” scream more of a reflection of OP than any costco normal shopper

on a totally personal level as a queer person it’s really really really depressing that some groups of ppl resort to stuff like this. yeah freedom of expression, religion, and everything but to be so hateful towards a group to want to just erase them your everyday line of sight is just like :(

you would think being valued at billions of dollars for over 20 years now would give you at least a little validation

would love to hear more about your experiences at this time! sounds super interesting compared to how corporate tech has become in even the past 5-10 years alone

ugh the declarative short pseudo-sentence, markdown arrows everywhere, and asinine metaphors. the trillion dollar future is here and it’s just markdown files shouting how they’ve solved machines intelligence by propagating a different flavor of markdown files. maybe it is useful, but seeing the field reduced to this leaves a sour taste in my mouth

is it really unthinkable that another oss/local model will be released by deepseek, alibaba, or even meta that once again give these companies a run for their money

i am plainly disagreeing with the assertion that people are unwilling to give up more freedoms of driving to save lives based off my anecdotal experiences online seeing how ppl seem to on avg react to such regulations being passed

have you seen how anyone online reacts when speeding or red light cameras are installed? or when parking becomes discouraged for sake of pedestrians or residents?

i am somewhat convinced that Americans views on cars is like that of guns, a absolute right that can and will not be infringed no matter how many must die

cars are more of a necessary “evil” than guns so the comparison is a little extreme so i don’t think the infringement of movement to cars is entirely irrational or unmetered, esp when in 99% of this country a car is absolutely required to live

maybe? if the LLM craze for the past cpl years has biased my thinking in anyway it’s that making a previously expensive technology more accessible will just drive demand for it up

i would peg it as “new yorker syndrome”. every story needs to have an e2e narrative mixed into the info dumping. fun to read but lots of time

New comment by ausbah in "Why developers using AI are working longer hours"

ausbah — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 01:06:00 +0000

two unthought out thoughts:

1. llms allow devs to be more productive, so more free time is seen as opportunity for more work. ppl overshoot and just work more

2. generalized tooling makes devs seem more replaceable putting downward pressure on job security (ie work harder or we’ll get someone who will, oh and for less money)

3. llms allow for more “multitasking” (debatable) via many running background tasks, so more opportunities to “just finish one more thing”

that seems a bit harsh. if you’re livelihood has been from making some sort of visual art for however many years and work has even drying up bc of AI, just doing a sudden career pivot is pretty difficult.

this keeps me up at night. i’m in a role that is essentially deployment management for LLMs at faang esque company. very little coding or need to code, mostly navigating guis, pipelines, and docker to get deployments updated with a new venting or model version or some patch

ofc there’s a spectrum in LLM usage, but the usage scenario of LLMs as a “supervised force multiplier” (paraphrasing your linked comment) isn’t how most near anyone uses them. I can’t imagine gamedev is any different.

what a vast majority of LLM usage appears to me is as a unsupervised slop multiplier. any social media platform, including hacker news is rife with a deluge of unpolished LLM generated turds that creators pass off as their own work when they can’t even explain half of how it works or what it does.

circling back with gamedev specifically and art more generally. sure if LLMs are just one part of the process to push out some grander, well thought out vision who am I to really care. again thought, that isn’t what I see. I only see untalented lazy “excommunicated devs” passing off the most bottom of the barrel trash as “games”

i don’t like ai art bc it lacks and sort of “soul” or “human touch” (nebulous and subjective but iykyk) games are just another form of art, so why would i waste my time with just another form of slop?

What do you use OpenClaw for?

ausbah — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 06:14:40 +0000

I’m pretty lazy with adopting new tech I read about. OpenClaw seems mildly useful

So am curious what workflows you use OpenClaw or similar “proactive agentic frameworks” for?
