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."

(For example if your generating a video, you output frame one by one by asking the system "Create a frame that match the prompt and that is consistent with every single frame that came before" that why most AI video are often extremely short. )

From a tech perspective the way you improve your ai is by feeding it more and more data. However every new bit of data you add to the system costs exponentially more computational resources.

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.

- Software: As i said the software is slow and the process to add new tag is absolutely horrible and involve a big JSON file linking tag to album. If i can read tag data, i can make this much more straight forward .

Grifdail (Julien) @grifdail.fr · 26/09/2026
- Design: I'm very happy with this minimalist look but it's far from perfect. I can do better, especially now that I've got a better 3d printer. I'll also make it easier to place the cassette at the right position for it to be scanned.

Grifdail (Julien) @grifdail.fr · 26/09/2026
- Better connectivity: The NFC reader I'm using is kinda limited. I can only read the tag ID but not any data, nor can i use it to write to tag. A better chip would make the code and tag creation so much simpler.

- More options: V1 play music specifically in my office. But i could just as easily have made it play music in any other room. In v2 i'll add a toggle to pick where to play. Maybe also buttons for music control ?

Grifdail (Julien) @grifdail.fr · 26/09/2026
- Feedback. Right now, when you scan a Cassette, the music can start 30 second later, often even more, especialy if there's a error. I've v2 I'll add led to indicate whether the player is on, when a card is successfully scan or when there's an error.

i'm guessing the wind effect is shader based ? Does the plugin internally create a Multimesh for every "type" of mesh ?

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

Thank. That was my hypothesis. Not enough static thing to make it worth it.

Have you considered going a step further and baking all the static background object into a single texture or was it not pertinent or unnecessary?

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

some scenes from the level I'm working on today. always fun to work with water, especially in the otherwise dry desert areas.

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...
