4 day work week would be already possible if we didn’t use a sizable amount of our industry production to just make useless crap. It would be 3 days, if we abolished planned obsolescence and made thing repairable.

But not on FreeBSD!

Now I want to see a Bringus Studios video titled “Gaming on FreeBSD, because Linux now runs Fortnite”.

Now I have to move to FreeBSD…

Hungary already has internships with “reverse salaries”, thanks to corruption and mandatory internships, though many instead moved onto the “pay us back the salary and your training cost if you dare to not work for us for two years after graduation, for peanuts” model.

Obligatory Human CentiPad scene from South Park.

Here’s my idea: We arrest and execute all AI executives and lead developers, going by their definition of danger. Non-lead devs: 35 years in prison; AI boosters: 20 years in prison; both forced to only consume AI generated slop, the only place where we still temporarily allow the technology.

I propose: anyone boosting AI on social media must be forced to not consume any human art. Prompted garbage only. If they violate it, whey will be suspended from social media for one month.

Reminder: Some models reported to regenerate stuff close to their training material in the right circumstances, could be seen as a kind of industrial espionage laundering.

A lot more software developer are only there for as a career than artists in the art world, so you’re immediately surrounded by people who see stuff like code performance and readability as “something nerdy”, while you can push out more lines of code instead of optimizing. Not more features, more lines of code, as coding got taken over by the careerists.

That mixed with:

• most tech criticism used to come from out-of-touch parents, thinking you’re from one Quake match away from getting a machine gun to “play it in real life” (was even prevalent in non-US countries due to all kinds of moral panics);
• seeing unsupportative parents utterly devastating their kids’ careers in tech due to weird beliefs and expectations,
• seeing at least some tech fad eventually working out after the toxic hype cycle (Jack Tramiel wanted you to use your C64 for food recipes),
• forgetting that many hyped tech did actually die off (remember Kinect and NFTs?)

lead to people to think LLMs are the next big thing even if AGI won’t come.

There’s also the issue of how society frames AI “extremism”. People like to think in horseshoe theories, and that extremists are necessarily annoying. The tech industry likes to frame “vibe coders with AI psychosis” and “people really not wanting to engage with AI” as the extremes to avoid. In reality, the two extremes are TESCREALists, and anti-tech extremists. Also seen many “totally not vibe coders” using AI to generate a general understanding for the code to avoid scrutiny, while seen “AI assisted” coding going just as off the rails as vibe coding due to overly trusting the chatbot, with many still going down the AI psychosis route.

In my experience, it’s always those weird neckbeards who are constantly trying to push me for neovim or emacs also thinking I should have started vibe coding by yesterday, because they can ship much more lines of code, and who cares about code quality or performance when you can claim you’ve written 983744892736487645 lines of code.

Because carnivore grifters are right wingers, and the right loves AI slop. The carnivore grift is not for health, but a political movement.

BANG BANG

Come on Ingerland!

BANG BANG

Stop being a facking cack for Jey Kay Rowling!

BANG BANG

What about the TERFs?

“But look at these AI generated fat people eating chips, which is made out of potatoes, therefore it’s vegan!” - many of the carnivore diet grifters

This reminds me of a controversy among the carnivore diet community, where someone got smeared as a “vegan” for seasoning his meat, and really liking chili peppers.

That time I posted AI slop, but had to do some photo editing too, since the AI is too shit for that.

FALSE!!!

What about word, doubleword, quadword? (though some naming conventions use halfword for 16 bit and word for 32 bit)

Reading The Omarchy Doctrine made me physically cringe. That alone is a good argument to boycott Omarchy.

If it was AI, the gums of his teeth would be hidden by his upper lip.
