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.

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.

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?

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.

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.

Why office workers are turning against AI

Whether or not you like AI at work ultimately boils down to a question of power.
