When I say using AI is lazy, a common retort is, why do unnecessary work? Aren't all productivity tools lazy? I'm talking about carelessness, not level of effort. There's no attention to detail in genAI outputs, that's why it's lazy, it's just another way to cut corners.

this is the thing about automation, as every automation Knower will tell you: you automate the repetitive tasks; the more variability and idiosyncracy there is (aka the real world) the fewer zeroes you get after the decimal on reliability, pretty soon the results are unacceptable

Saving this now to make up for not saving a screenshot of the polls in 2006 saying the 2008 election was going to be between Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.
Polls, done in 2026, that show the party nominees for president in 2028 as Harris +10.9 and Vance +15.5

Kind of bonkers how doing the "very responsible adult in the room moderate centrist" thing leads you to extreme positions like genocide denial.

If genAI is inevitable, why do they care about people criticizing it? Why do they care about local communities pushing back against data centers? If it's inevitable, that's all irrelevant right? You can just brush that all off, sit back and wait silently as they're all proven wrong.

sure yeah, can't even make a stick figure without fucking up and no one at the company gives enough of a shit to even give it another pass but go ahead and take my money so i can use this lazy shit technology every day too
ad for some AI company called evenfall
copy says "meet derek. ai every day. always hitting a wall. then he found evenfall"
the only graphic is a stick figure holding... a tablet maybe? he's missing an arm

I see in the trending topics that it's talk like a pirate day. Honestly surprised that's still a thing, I thought that died with the rest of the awful The Oatmeal era "le epic bacon" millennial humor.

I keep seeing people saying "AI has only gotten better!" and every time I see it, it's still a piece of shit? Has it actually gotten better, or are you just repeating someone else telling you it's gotten better? Because every piece of observable evidence points to it still being garbo.

This post is so fucking stupid I created an account to point it out. Makes no sense, Kid Rock is a PoS, and if you think Macklemore is one, you are a gigantic PoS. And there are five stages of grief.

A thing I don't get about AI Doomerism is that it's incredibly expensive to run. If superintelligent AI set out on a mission to destroy humanity, who is paying the tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in compute that would cost? Would no one notice? And what happens when the money runs out?

How is it that we designed a whole system of government where the goal was to try to ensure no individual had too much power, but nobody considered that money is also power and the power held by a single person with a vast sum of money is just as much or more of a threat as any government official?

"Software was buggy before AI!" This is true, but the problem is twofold. First, bugs are easier to fix when you've written the code yourself, because you have an intuition about what the problem might be. Second, the rate at which it introduces bugs is faster than the rate they can be resolved.

What does this even mean? Debating his stance on his opponent? How one candidate feels about the other is the voters top priority? "If elected, I will enact my no Ken Paxtons allowed policy" It's funny seeing this busted ass bullshit and thinking about the CTO crashing out over people not liking AI

A pet peeve of mine is when someone responds to an analogy with "those aren't the same thing!" Of course they're not, it's an analogy! Literally an analogue - a thing that is similar. If they were the same thing, it wouldn't be an analogue anymore, it would just be another example of the thing!

It's weird how we just decided that people who go to ivy league schools get to run the country and nobody questions it. Like, why? It's just an athletic conference. It's not like it's some incubator imbuing people with superhuman abilities that make them superior to everyone else.

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on

People say "AI is only going to get better", but it's never once actually gotten better. It's true that it's making fewer errors, but that is not the same thing as being better. Hitler's paintings were shit but it's not because he made mistakes while painting them, they're just shit.

I worked with a serial mispronouncer who I know wasn't a reader who'd pronounce words wrong that he'd hear everyone else say. Wasn't even a cultural difference, he had the same background as us. I think he just went around thinking "Boy, it sure is weird how everyone but me pronounces stuff wrong!"

I genuinely do not understand the people who love chatGPT so much that they think it's alive and form an emotional bond with it. It is so annoying! If it was a real guy I would get so fed up with its shit I'd probably punch it in the face. You want to have a personal relationship with this asshole?

I made a video reflecting on the last three weeks since I quit using AI for coding at work! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er6n... The gist: mental health much better, enjoying work more, excited to code stuff for fun, learning/growing as a developer, not fired yet, no regrets!

Quitting AI greatly improved my mental health & enjoyment of work

Using AI to 10x my bonsai tree output. All you Luddites who are cultivating your bonsai trees by hand need to adapt otherwise you're going to fall behind! I am going to be able to prune so many more bonsai trees in the time it takes you to prune just one!

How is it that we've allowed the biggest freaks convince us that their pathologically insatiable drive to constantly acquire more wealth is actually just human nature? It's not! Most people would actually be completely satisfied long before becoming a billionaire!

People rightly mock AI chatbots for what a kiss ass they are, but I think a lot of people don't realize what a colossal asshole they would become if they were to remove the constraints that make it that way.

"You can use AI to come up with a first draft and then rewrite it yourself!" A first draft is supposed to be bad. You're telling me you're not able to come up with bad ideas on your own but you're somehow going to be able to turn bad ideas into good ideas?

"You need to use AI to code or you'll fall behind!" Ok but I don't do that and I have coworkers who do, and they are not outpacing me even a little bit. I don't know what to tell you, I think you've vastly overestimated the impact here.

The Safeway app search feature is no longer functional, and I'm not sure if it's because it was vibe coded, or if they made it not work on purpose to try to push people to use the dumbass "AI Helper" bullshit they added to it.

I used to be able to type "[word] etymology" into google, and it would give me a nice little diagram breaking it down into parts, with their origin, and how they evolved. Now it spits out a badly formatted AI summary paragraph full of unnecessary information that I can't even be sure is correct.

Under capitalism, everything becomes a currency. The human experience is less important than acquiring as much currency as possible. When you reach the end of the one life you get, will you look back and think "I'm glad I amassed so much currency, I really made the most of it"?

I love how scalpers act like they own pokemon cards now. like "this isn't a kid's game anymore" like yes it is. it's still a kids game that used to be easily accessible to kids until you ruined it. it's not and never was for you to hoard.
