It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Ok im gonna say something here that is going to draw a lot of different feelings from everyone, and I want to be clear i'm not "in support of this" or "against it". i'm just saying it as an observation that seems true to me: I think with the latest frontier LLMs, the “music” era of games is upon us

Well, I agree that's unrealistic. I'm not really a leftist, but to the extent I've clocked a prevailing sentiment it seems more nuanced than that.

It is certainly real that there is an upswell of anti-AI sentiment that appears to defy traditional political and generational boundaries. What reality do you suppose they are denying?

with a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto! spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals

But, you are right: I am displaying tremendous economic privilege in my reflection.

cdata @cdata.earth · 17/07/2026
When I say privilege, I mean that I would personally consider it a privilege not to have to use or think about these models at all. I hate them. They have ruined computers for me. I used to find joy in writing software. The models took away the job I enjoyed the most and left me with drudgery.

cdata @cdata.earth · 17/07/2026
For better or worse, the nature of what it means to produce software as a collective exercise has changed dramatically. If you don't feel the pressure to use these tools, I expect you are working in a sheltered niche.

cdata @cdata.earth · 17/07/2026
Personally I'm drowning in a sea of other people's slop. If I didn't have my own slop machine to burn through it all, I would never get anything done. I run 27B-ish class MoE models at home. The hardware was expensive (and costs more every day). That class of models is not sufficient to the task.

I'm confused by the premise. A significant amount of knowledge transfer comes from reading other people's code, especially libraries that you have been banging your head against for hours without progress. Are you suggesting people don't actually do this?

While the AI bubble is primarily a *material* phenomenon (driven by the calculation that bosses are easy marks for a sales pitch for replacing workers with apps), there is an inescapable ideological component to it: the desire for a world without people in it: pluralistic.net/2026/05/13/v... 1/
A Dore engraving of Samson toppling the temple, in which a loincloth-clad Samson pushes aside the columns holding up an Egyptian(ish) temple as people flee the collapsing roof. The image has been altered: Samson's head has been replaced with the head of a pulp magazine robot, while in the background trudge away many other robots. Samson is gold-tinted, and has been limned with a nova of golden light. The rest of the image has been hand-tinted.

I feel angst, skepticism and despair about so-called AI. My greatest fear, though, is that it may not be a bubble. Or perhaps: that we're so deeply invested in it that even if it is a bubble, we will sooner reorganize society to keep the momentum going than allow it collapse.
