Comparing “blogging” to “AI Slop” is the type of take that emerges from being obsessed with how people talk about things instead of being interested in what things are.

One of my new favorite things is to ask Claude to add architecture validation tests using @archunit.bsky.social whenever we want to "codify" decisions. Actual executable deterministic validation = 😍 Works like a charm. Move beyond markdown and prayers, add some actual validation in there! #java

Reviewing CfP submissions with walls-of-LLM-generated-text, just scrolling by fast to click 🙅 and reason "LLM submission". If you can't even bother to write a proper proposal for your audience, I won't bother reviewing it that way 🤷

This is horrible behaviour by an open source library developer: two weeks ago a version was released which added prompt injection on purpose causing agents using it to delete the implementation on the developers device. If you don't agree with LLM usage, voice it, don't damage others work 🤔

i wrote a post about the growing divide between AI skeptics and AI enthusiasts. wins and costs are both real, but too often fall on different groups of people. when you're only experiencing half the story, it's too easy to write each other off. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-enthusi...

charitydotwtf.substack.com

AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy

Both sides are grappling with a real existential threat, and both sides feel like they are screaming into the void. Here's how to close the gap and get everyone pulling in the same direction.

Over the years, GraalVM compilation time has drastically improved. On my MacBook, it takes a few seconds. It’s actually the fastest operation in a development workflow that includes GenAI agents. Everything else is slower because GenAI-powered. It makes you think, right?
