The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.
A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

AI is getting better, not because the tech itself is improving, but because it being subsidized by big companies to run or more and better hardware.

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

the negative effects AI is having on software is gonna be something we have to deal with for a very long time, even if it stops today. you can already see the effects in well-known vibe coded sites like bluesky and github that run like shit nowadays, but its incredibly pervasive throughout tech

I honestly have never considered switching from Google Pixel phones until they sent me a "wanna celebrate destroying the lives of trans people" as a system update.

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

I spend a lot of time thinking about environment design at the scale of a car while working on Garbage Country I constantly have to figure out human scenarios that are readable at the scale of buildings/furniture Realizing '2 rows of white chairs' means wedding/ceremony was a big win this week

Pause AI in BC Schools @aicaution.ca · 10/09/2026
The data from this OECD PISA report is damning. "students who do not use AI outperform those who do, ... equivalent to being around one year of schooling ahead of their peers." www.oecd.org/en/publicati...
Graph showing students who never use AI scoring 505 on a "draft texts for writing assignments" task. As students use AI more, the score goes down, until students who use it daily score 480.

"So in summary: using AI for coding led to depression, apathy, existential dread, and worse software. Not good. Add on top of that the negative environmental, community, and economic impacts of AI, and it became extremely apparent to me that something's gotta change." brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...

I'm done using AI
Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

After a loooong break, I’ve gotten back to my space photography solo project! 📸🛰️🦠 And I decided to get rid of my menu systems, everything is now physical and diegetic, and I really enjoy how chaotic it gets having to handle your own freshly printed photos in low gravity!

My opinion: We say "Open & Close" not "Close & Open"... And we say "On & Off" not "Off & on" therefore its seem more natural and easier to communicate that "Open = On = True" and "Close = Off = False"
