I'm not volunteering this year because work conflicts with the extremely small number of shifts that are not already full*, but if you see something like this, call Election Protection at 866-OUR-VOTE to report it. *actually great that there were so many volunteers that this happened!

The 13 Omens crowdfund is underway! This rules-light horror TTRPG from Paizo is a project I'm incredibly proud to be editing lead on. We might fund on day one, which would mean the world to us. Myself, Jason, James, and Adam Vick (art lead) have worked our butts off, as have many others. Back it!

Over 200% funded!! We still have a ton of stretch goals to unlock, so please keep sharing and backing! The more we fund, the more zines we unlock. And there are some VERY cool ones in the pipeline by amazing authors.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

agg23 commented yesterday
If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

I feel like a major lesson of Trump is that people like him will act in bad faith or violate the law no matter what, so it's literally not possible to Trump-proof a policy except through robust removal and punishment provisions for people like Trump.

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company.
Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code.
Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow?People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing.
Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore.
Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

No, AI isn’t gonna kill us all in the next 10 years. No, LLMs don’t keep going rogue. No, general AI superintelligence isn’t anywhere close and we’re not even on the path toward it with LLMs. All that shit is ultimately propaganda about how powerful and cool these systems supposedly are.
