  • That’s the truly hilarious part - NOBODY is okay with this! EVERYONE knows it sucks! The ONLY reason it’s still relevant is because Business Idiots are so goddamn pervasive and stupid. Any rational society would’ve taken GenAI out back and shot it years ago, that’s how bad it is. If you want to get into the real nitty-gritty of JUST HOW TRASH things are, I recommend more of Zitron’s work; it’s a common topic for him to rip apart in a well-researched rage.


  • Do non-programmers just enter Claude and write “make program!!!” and then expect it to work?

    Unironically, yes. The main proponents of this tech absolutely DO just do that, because they’re Business Idiots who are fully happy and content with code that looks “”“good enough”“”, even if it does nothing useful. You can see this in all the credulous articles detailing tech CEOs who decree “All workers shall now use AI!!!” while vibecoding a bunch of slopware. They have no idea what the fuck they’re actually doing, and they don’t care. All the other Business Idiots have decided that this is the new hotness, so they either fall in line and “do AI”, even at massive financial loss to their company and themselves, or they stop being part of the “In” crowd.

    And to the Business Idiot, there is no fate worse than being irrelevant.

  • The absolutely critical difference between the work you, your buddies, and basically everyone else wants to do, versus corporate “”“work”“”, is that you want to do it because it’d make you happier and your community healthier, as opposed to making a line go up for some shareholders who honestly wouldn’t care if you died tomorrow so long as it made the line go up a little further. Neoliberal Capitalism is Hell, man.

    There’s a pretty simple and straightforward way to make them feel and look really stupid for doing this, although it takes time and dedication: hit the gym and get fucking JACKED. Then, whenever they call you by your female dead name in public, everyone will think they’re stupid.



  • Whatever “”“regime”“” they can scrape together in the economic/ecological hellholes they call “states” won’t be enough. The coming AI tech crash, along with the next Housing bubble collapse (that is happening RIGHT NOW in the South, and spreading North!!!) will wipe out whatever regime they can build, because their zones of antiregulation and social destruction will be hit hardest. That said, I pity the unfortunate sods who want to leave but can’t yet; their window is closing pretty quickly, all things considered.

    So yeah, run as fast as you can, as far as you can, and DO NOT LOOK BACK.
