I have two C-suites that are doing nothing but copy-and-pasting AI responses to each other in an email thread. Neither is reading anything, they're having AI summarize and respond to AI summaries and responses. No conclusion will ever be reached. This is oroboros.

Capitalism seeks to alienate the worker from everything it possibly can, and now that's going to include actual popular culture. Individualized AI media is going to remove the actual purpose of culture, which is established common experiences and interpersonal communication.

During the big waves of privatisation in the 1980s and 1990s, the debate was framed around who can manage production more efficiently, the state or capital. Everyone bought into this frame and we forgot the more important question, which is who gets to decide what is produced, and for whose benefit.

The most important thing Harry Potter learns is that he's wealthy. It's a book series where learning magic allows the hero gain a deeper understanding of his universe and his responsibilities to it, but it's a Blairite universe where that responsibility is to become a cop. Like, these books suck.

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

This statement from Codeberg maintainers, after their community voted to not use any code for LLM training and banned vibe-coded projects, is really good. blog.codeberg.org/protecting-o...

The development team of none

Using LLMs to work with your code gives you a kick of adrenaline. You can develop at a rapid pace, build things as if you had a large team. Only that you have none. In fact, you are (often) alone, working with a statistical machine that turns energy into code.

It seems like many ‘vibe coders’ don't realize that they don't actually have a community around them. They build projects as if they had, and spend resources accordingly. We see projects having a lot of code activity, heavy CI/CD testing, frequent and large release binaries. Sometimes, it feels like the amount of supported platforms exceeds the amount of actual users.

To us, it seems ridiculous to see projects with a single developer and virtually no users consuming as much or even more resources than some of the largest community projects on Codeberg, which operate frugal with CI/CD and storage resources. We do not believe it is reasonable for Codeberg to invest our precious donation money into hosting of large ghost projects.
