Men, I promise you, you don't need to, in any way, try and defend someone who literally admitted to sexual assault. Just don't do it. Don't even think about it.

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

the reporting on this stuff is a form of pareidolia. all this is explicable by a set of automatons stochastically exploring a state space and host environment with whatever predictive capacity an LLM affords them. absolutely no intent is required, they do not "know" what they are doing

It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

As with most of these things the harm on the environment of experts, on communities, is elided and waved away as an inevitability by enthusiasts. But the work is often sloppy no matter the model because the people using them lack institutional knowledge or context and don’t care for community.

We don’t talk enough about how much of our days have become entangled in determining what’s real. What’s genuine. What’s human or what’s synthetic. What’s worth our time after having already spent it. It’s a grotesque skill we’ve all been forced to master, and a waste of energy none of us can spare.

I've been feeling demoralized about my own stance against using AI for writing software. AI is most generally accepted here, the productivity treadmill has defined the view of coding for so long. I feel the craft of what I do being eroded. This is to say thank you, this essay resonates with me.

This is why I also got the Devil ending, I had pushed the "important" side stories up to where they stopped interacting with the main story and left them. Devil ending felt gross and not what my V would do; I checked the wiki and reloaded before Embers. Ended up getting a lovely ending for my V.

Of a Dying Mollusc @omullusc.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

First time I played through game I did side missions sporadically, I did missions that I felt my V would do. Anytime a mission would push the main story or I was given downtime. I assumed the story would resolve the timebomb in V's head and V would be given an impetus to build her rep.

If, ten years ago, someone had told you that people could subscribe to a service that can authoritatively fake everything from legal opinions and expert witness reports to determinations about recidivism and insurance claims you’d have said, “ban whatever that is immediately.”
