Can't wait for all the vibe coders to start panicking when their verbose, bloated code falls over, and Anthropic are either dead, or tokens cost an absolute fortune and they can't code for shit.

It's weird seeing AI bubbles across the world begin to collapse in real-time because AI continually needs more input to function, every time it's used its trained and becomes shittier, but nobody's writing their own code now, so it's a death spiral for everyone who needs claude to work

Honestly, I'd rather watch Neil Breen movies than this shit.

Apparently 8-Bit guy's "movie" (the AI 50 minute slop thing) hit Youtube This is my favourite comment so far about it

Watch how the building isn't quite sure if the glass is solid, or liquid... and the magical, convenient ramp that appears under the vehicle.

If Claude is sentient, so was this evil cow.

Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

Google paying $920m per month to SpaceX for compute, when they own 6% of SpaceX, just before the most overvalued IPO in history... This is gonna be a hell of a rug pull.

theguardian.comLabour will make AI ‘work for the workers’, says Liz KendallTechnology secretary promises to support people whose jobs are swept away by automation Liz Kendall has insisted Labour will make artificial intelligence “work for workers”, and not abandon people whose jobs are swept away by its rapid advance. With public fears mounting about the impact of AI on employment, particularly for young people, the technology secretary claimed that the government could shape the way it is adopted.

Been teacher my daughter some #animation, and watching her pick up the theory is magical. its hard to fathom that some people want to replace this entire learning experience with LLM slop. #fuckAI

@zero-gravitas.bsky.social

As gruelling as the animating graft is, I can't imagine skipping this process, even if Amazon threw a few million at me to sell out and churn out some AI slop instead. Fuck gen AI, and those that enable it.

Boomer-brained chud doubles down on sharing AI slop for clout.

RevDaniel@revdaniel.bsky.social

Well since I wasn’t going to actually get one, it’s probably not a big deal that the image I jokingly shared might be AI.

@zero-gravitas.bsky.social

There's a subset of tech workers that have adopted and/or evangelise LLMs on the grounds of getting "crazy productivity gains". As if adopting the patter of CEOs will protect them when their jobs are on the line. There is no greater boot-licker.

Hegseth, wasted: Hey ChatGPT, should I nuke the Middle East and spy on my own citizens? Clanker: Honestly, yes. And that's okay. The world is a complicated place, and you're doing that feels right to you. Asking these questions isn't just rational — it shows emotional maturity. Drop those nukes!

There you have it, folks. You can produce and distribute CP as long as you're a billionaire or part of the mythical "AI future."

Here's the deal: we get personal computing hardware that's impossible to afford, rising energy prices and pollution from data centres, job losses, an increase in scams/fraud, mass cognitive decline, and in exchange for all of this we get: *drumroll* A chatbot that creates and distributes CSAM.

Imagine concluding that there's no connection between massive social and wealth inequality, mass surveillance, unregulated social media and AI, and just the overall state of society as a whole, and poor mental health... no, it's all "overdiagnosed," apparently. Wes Streeting can get fucked.
