if you're running for DSA delegate and the #1 proposal you support is running AOC for President, I am pointing and laughing at you

first episode of False Memory was super cool. major FLCL vibes

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

(after 7 and a half solid minutes of just letting the freestyle beat play uninterrupted) My money's like pinocchio They're lyin' and I nose it The fairy life of a real boy And I chose it

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

using it anywhere (yes, even code) is an instant signal to the kind of person you are. the kind of shit you’re willing to sweep under the rug in the name of personal convenience. it’s entirely irrelevant how good AI is at a task

the constant grind of semiotic violence from AI is so fucking exhausting man. read some text that doesn't say anything. look at some images that don't mean anything. here's some code I didn't write and quite possibly haven't run, presented as if it's a solution to a problem

the flying car shit is cool if you don't know that every Tesla showcase since the beginning has been extremely staged and fake

Basically it's just very important to me that if someone burns $56k of diesel to do this, that I not benefit from their actions in any way

I'm a firm believer that the process is the point, even if all you care about is the output. Working through problems is how we develop new solutions. Sleeping on something is insanely important. Using tools to do it for you in a fraction of the time leads to stagnation. This is a real bummer

I need to hear Robert Pattinson say "hungry hungry pizza for me. give me slice now" in the Chris Hansen voice

psychiatrist told me I should try using AI to start my own business just put the stimulants in the bag lil bro

he's a DAmm genius

I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

if you're a moderately competent desktop computer user with the means to buy a few hard drives i think you have a duty to your iphone friends to become "the plex guy"

sometimes not sure if I actually like playing video games or I just like installing and configuring mods

Same people who seem to think it’s bad for China to beat us at AI are perfectly fine with China beating us at high speed rail, solar energy, wind energy, shall we go on

"what is it streaming on?" what are you, a child? install qbittorrent

Every year, without fail, until there is no one is left to repeat the message.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

When I read posts I feel confused and unsettled but when I read a book I feel calm enjoyment. Ah well, time to read several hundred posts

if you use ai you should feel shame actually

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

ME: i believe there's been a jizunderstanding (a misunderstanding about jizz) RECEPTIONIST AT THE SPERM BANK: yeah i know what a jizunderstanding is

If you have any love of beat em ups that go down real smooth then I'm begging you to play Absolum. It's a self published game with hand drawn art and animation and an insane amount of polish that I would *kill* for some more playable character DLCs

the one-two punch of reading If on a winter’s night a traveler and Invisible Cities back to back at nineteen made me feel both like my mind was literally expanding toward a new understanding of what writing could be and more viscerally annoying to be around than ever before

woke up 4 minutes before an interview I was supposed to give. too sleepy to listen to the candidate so they get a freebie from me
