I'm not surprised, just disappointed.

Seeing some photos coming out of GDC and not a single person wearing a mask anywhere in them.

I keep thinking about how this use of genAI has turned all data centers hosting servers for genAI and the offices of the companies developing genAI into legitimate military targets.

Check on your friends in Austin, because

Ended up having to hard cycle power and manually reset some BIOS settings. As usual, it also lost my entire desktop working environment.

The cynic in me wonders if they're intentionally damaging hardware to boost sales of components that are overpriced thanks to their fucking AI bullshit. Or more likely it's just slop-coding their updates.

Thanks Microslop for auto-installing a Windows update that left my system unable to boot and drops it in to BIOS. Can we all start charging them for this slop while we're forced to stay on their platform?

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Working with vibe coders, the experience:
1. Vibe Coder A opens PR late at night on a weekend for a system where they have zero domain knowledge
2. Vibe Coder B who has zero domain knowledge approves the PR
3. Real programmer starts their day on Monday, sees the change, and goes "this is all wrong"

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

More like they asked it if the code it "wrote" is good and it said it was.

It's shit like this that is why everyone who uses genAI should be treated as though they are completely fucking incompetent.

There is not enough coffee/whiskey in the world for me to review a pull request on a client project that is an AI-generated script that outputs a list of files to another AI-generated script which pipes the output directly into "rm -f"

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

Brought to you by "number must go up people" where in this case number is the number of active fronts.

Seems like the single case where the original statement and what I hear them say would match.

No matter what may actually follow, when someone starts a sentence with "ChatGPT says" all I hear as the rest of the sentence is "I'm an idiot"

They're 20% less productive as individuals, and they also make whoever has to go clean up their slop less productive.

Given the history of the rideshare companies, I assume the $10 will come out of the driver's pay and will not actually be funded by Lyft.

as democratic politicians start writing up their statements i want them to pause for 30 seconds and think of the last time the anti-war people were wrong

Me: I'll just do some contract work to distract myself for a bit.
Contract project: the ai-generated slop we use for devops is broken, so you can't actually work.

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

There's a not-insignificant chance it was almost called "Epic Pwnage" given the people involved.

No war with Iran.

This has now been perfected and there is no need for any additional variants.

Remove him and his whole administration RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

If we had an actual functioning congress, they'd be calling a special session to remove him from office. Instead, we have a bunch of republican sycophants.

Yes, sure, pet supplies company. Replacing my order of a 24-pack of canned cat food with a pack of 12 is definitely the right substitution. My cats definitely don't need to eat every day.

Here are a few old ones from various expos. We also had a 11x17 poster version of the 5x7 Outpost Delta card here that we handed out.
