Vaporslop has a great ring to it but I'm not sure it's accurate

Everyone's always like "well the one thing it's good for is coding" until they touch actual vibecoded software

AI has completely changed the game on calendar invite spam. I wake up every day to fake legal notices and meetings from hacked strangers that take up my entire calendar which I then must manually delete. Nothing has ever made me more #efficient than the beautiful future created by #AI.

I imagine it'll hook into the prompting stuff; either way the obvious profiteering is going to make it extremely likely that a judge railcannons them from orbit.

Yeah every time I look at the quotes there's someone else saying "I tried this and it crashed immediately after thrashing my hard drive" Notably the vibesters are already looking to cash in on it it seems

That guy is mildly crashing out saying IT'S ONLY BEEN OUT FOR 24 HOURS OF COURSE IT WILL BE BUGGY And buddy im so sorry you don't know about what happens to vibe projects but this is as good as it's going to be

Also this is definitely gonna turn out to run like shit if it runs at all, and they certainly won't be FIXING it so you know caveat emptor

My guess is that they vibed up something that can input and output Adobe's filetypes and do a rough approximation of the tools And they could do that because the source for a morbillion open source programs that already do that is lurking in Claude's database

Thinking about the guys on here and elsewhere who make "why are people so mean to me, damn social media" posts Buddy if you pulled this shit in the real world, you'd get fucking punched, hard, in the teeth. And the judge would laugh at you for being a prick. Social media saved your incisors.

One of those games where I'm like "wait do I own that" Part of the reason I'm a bit sad that Playnite still isn't on Linux, only thing I've ever seen that can track your ENTIRE cross-platform library so you don't get dupes

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 14h

On Steam it's just a mess there is NOTHING I honestly think part of the reason people gravitate to live services is how save management simply isn't a factor, Genshin is constantly saving progress no matter what, leave whenever you like

000

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 14h

Weirdly enough the Xbox is the platform that handles that best with that game pause thing, but even that's weirdly limited to like three games at a time I put a terabyte NVME in you, mister Series, you can save however many states I tell you to save. If I'm running out of space, just tell me.

100

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 16h

I get UNREASONABLY angry at how this sort of thing is limited. No, devs, I don't care about your carefully created checkpointing, and I DEFINITELY don't care about your opinion regarding "savescumming". If King's Quest let me save, you can. If you need autosaves to avoid soft failstates, add them.

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 18h

And it has to be devs because everybody else is too wary about getting their asses replaced Even in China you have people merrily screwing with the bots to make sure their job doesn't get "distilled" as they call it Only software developers would blithely walk into it, so yeah Dario picked them

020

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah that's why Dario is almost desperate to get as many devs dependent on his shit as possible, to the point of cultivating the weird cult stuff Altman thought he was making consumer stuff, but that won't weather the crash; you need outright addicts to be able to tank that hit

this is what software developers are agreeing to and it's so obviously ludicrous the second you see it recontextualised

Sure, right now there's a large pool of unemployed devs, but that's going to draw down over time; either they switch industries, retire, or are hired on by whoever prefers actual devs over the code gacha. The pool of code gacha pullers is only going to get smaller. Undersea welder situation.

020

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Interesting possible side effect: since babysitting bots is deeply unpleasant, a lot of people are already leaving and many more will demand higher pay for the now-unpleasant job Between that, token fees, and the CONSTANT pulls on the code gacha, it might end up not being any cheaper at all

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

STILL?? That was a well known issue around launch but goddamn

If it's who I think it is, that's the dude who got fired for having ChatGPT write one of his articles, with a co-writer getting caught in the crossfire Probably lowkey auditioning for a gig writing PR for some slopmonger startup of some kind

There's nothing more reliable than members of the Canadian press getting incredibly snotty whenever one of the proles dares to speak up to them Which is funny because, Aaron my dude, you were Postmedia, that shit was a punchline for decades

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

And, yes, this is very stupid because the genAI companies are fully aware that relying on methane imports forever is a terrible way to keep their GPUs running, and since they have Every Investment Dollar they're doing Every Investment Dollar deals: So, no, Carney's actually an idiot sorry

010

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Like, remember, the only reason Carney's government gives even the tiniest fuck about genAI is because those datacenters are generally powered using gas generators, and he wants to sell the gas Bro doesn't even give the faintest fuck about what those datacenters do, just that his gas powers them

100

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Again: the glaring weakness of the Carney Regime is that they're absolute fixated on fossil fuel exports as the solution to all our problems They have NOTHING else, no ideas at all, don't care about services or manufacturing or other resources like potash or soybeans et al Only ever fossil fuels

Yeah sure I was going anyway im gonna hit up tims on the way back tho, you want in on this box of timbits calling dibs on the raspberry filled but I can get extras

In a lot of ridings the #2 party are the conservatives, so maybe it's more to do with the Tories' nationwide collapse, maybe CAQ voters migrated to the PQ because who wants to be a Tory these days But then where are the libs Oh well there'll be polls I'm sure

000

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Okay so the CAQ are absolutely toast, the interesting bit is who the PQ drew all those votes from Might not be as simple as CAQ->PQ, it might have been CAQ migrating to the QLibs after the feds' hard conservative turn, and QLib progressives moving to the PQ as a secession vote seems off the table

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

And when Trump stops fucking with us, Carney is going to wake up to a different world. The only reason he's pulled off this "Harperite Liberal" bait-and-switch is due to the southern threat. If that perception of threat fades even a little, if the spell is broken...

000

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

We're going to be moving into a weird time where Trump feels emboldened by the Brazil interference, but will also be facing a potential gingrich-level Dem takeover of Congress and any number of states. So it's likely that he's going to WANT to fuck with us more, but simply can't.

110

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

So still mostly unknown, but favourable is rising. Fits a general landscape where Carney has turned the "liberals" into ersatz Tories and progressives are seeking other options. (That 28% is mostly going to be unwinnable conservatives voters, needn't even think about them. It's about the rest.)

And naturally they're going to have no idea how to handle tablets or even detect them, even though that's the best way to read digital comics; and as for PC lol the less said the better

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I don't hate webtoon, I read manhwa on there, but they're going to have no clue whatsoever about how to deal with any of this Every comic is probably going to be a vertical scroll that's not suitable for phones due to panel layout and text size, which they're going to try to fix by breaking panels

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Oh lmao they're farming it out to webtoon This is gonna be a shitshow

On the other hand I am trying and failing to push myself to like El Shaddai as much as I've seen people on here do I'm sorry it's very pretty and it's got Grasshopper vibes but oh Lord I hate this combat so much

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I worry about this kind of stuff, then try something from a while back and realize "oh wait this rules actually" Like I'd never even touched a visual novel until a few years ago, now I'm around halfway through the Science Adventure stuff and have Opinions on Routemapping. Also semicolons.

There's AI psychosis from a middle-aged tech neophyte, who can't distinguish between word generation and "reasoning".

000

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

As that post points out, it's also the defense against the inevitable C&D and takedown order, if not actual lawsuit AI psychosis makes you blow that off, though, as there will be no lawsuits in the Dawning Age of Superintelligence

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Lanyards don't like that question, because they're generally around one to two degrees of separation from the wealth those men are throwing around. They do not want to threaten their access to that wealth. So they try to blame random penniless yokels or some diffuse Systemic Factors. Even so.

020

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The "question of the age" or whatever the lanyards are going on about is very simple: "What is to be done about the 50-60 extraordinarily wealthy men that have gone batshit insane and are using that wealth to fuck everyone up" That's it, that's all, everything else is downstream of that

OrangeSky @spacetalk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I'm seeing so many people on here so are going "oh we can't possibly win against the fash" when every Republican staffer is in a panic that America has never seen before And, notably, Iran managed to win against these selfsame fash, also quite possibly the Houthi too

Wow, holy crap. The current state of PPSSPP might be the perfect example of going off the deep end with AI slop in software dev. What I'm showing in these screenshots goes on for dozens and dozens of pages. This emulator is straight up exclusively developed by Claude now.

Kinda downstream of how the spass mahreens get just way way way too much airtime, as they're all basically oversized 11-year-olds who think girls are mythological Caiphus Cain, on the other hand
