I mean I continue to point out that the people who run this website being utterly in the tank for ~*~Agentic Coding~*~ has not in fact led to vast improvements in the overall quality of the service but it *has* led to them becoming 900% more annoying, so idk why I'm supposed to not hate this shit

"Oh you don't like vibe-coded single-serve websites built specifically to go viral on bluesky? And yet you post on vibe-coded platform Bluesky, very interesting..."

I am less annoyed by, eg, the Linux kernel having agents fucking with it (even if I'm not a fan) because Linus Torvalds isn't personally responsible for banning posters I think are interesting because they were mean to their personal friends

This type of "oh, you surely don't *understand it* if you hate it" rhetoric is copied straight from the crypto people a few years ago, who I know for a fact many of you were at the time. I'm perfectly capable of understanding the game mechanics of your stupid sci-fi larp, thanks

Ultimately you can yell "industry standard tools" until you're blue on the face but again, I care about the balance of utility and externalities and that balance is comically in the red. You *are* assholes for using it, and you will *always* be assholes for using it. Get used to it, I guess.

Get used to being hated and scorned. Your already increasingly reviled profession is now hitching its wagon to a technology that amounts to a DDoS attack on the concept of human civilization. You don't get to complain about people seeing your amoral politics for what they are.

If you really think this is the future, then it behooves you to understand you're all revolting, hateful hogs and go hide away in shame. Software has become a sin product, yes like meat or plastic. That's the main accomplishment of the last couple years of tech. Go you.

And you know, I eat meat, I consume plastics, I am not free of sin, but chemical engineers working for dupont are not ceaselessly whining on social media about how little respect they get.

I fear a Secret Third Thing - the companies continue to get people addicted to this crap until they can't think or create for themselves anymore, then start charging them a fee to use the gross system that they off-loaded their own brains to🥲

this is basically what uber and netflix and streamings did. AI will most certainly do that. Hell its already doing that. AI bros lost their shit over Token Based Billing because it was getting RIDICULOUSLY expensive for what they were using it for. It will get even more expensive

because AI companies keep losing money because AI is woefully expensive to maintain and operate and dont have nearly enough users to make a profit. So all these dipshits depending on an AI to do it for them will soon learn what happens when you let yourself become dependent on something as

one of the easily-deployed roadblocks to barr off that timeline from existence is to, yourself first, unattach our bodies from the internet. ive got the "unhook" extension installed for youtube and "distract me not" enabled for bsky and tumblr on mobile, i own my eyes. i can control those at least!!

the lack of control over what i see (popups and algorithms), what i choose to lookup (sidetracked and distracted by the prior), reached such a massive breaking point that i unsubscribed from well over 200 YT channels and just put those folks websites or profiles in my browser bookmarks (on desktop).
