I kind of hate AI

Yeah, the wood folk are vicious creatures.

They expect everyone to still have untreated #aianxiety and huddle in packs for support.

But they are harmless, they bark obscenities, and run back into the wilderness, most block you because they can not stand to behold your magnificent machine augmented grandeur.
(Now I'm just asking for it 🤡)

AI Anxiety Makes People Change Career Plans in 2026

Worried about AI taking jobs? Many are changing career plans and learning new skills. See how AI anxiety affects jobs and what people are doing about it.

Ugh... this AI world is moving too fast...No wonder so many smart folks have #aianxiety

#Antigravity is a thing and apparently its pretty shmick. But I have no time for now to suck up another platform.

What the do the smart #Vibecoders do to mitigate rate limits (#Compute ceiling is something you hit very hard if you start doing serious projects)?

1. Run #Claudecode inside Antigravity for #Vibecode
2. Add automated testing agent to clean up bugs without wasting tokens. WHAT?
3. Use #Gemini3 for design and architecture
4. #Testsprite MCP for testing (Not using tokens).

I have no idea how to do this, I would have to pick up 3 new platforms and even with #Ai this is beyond me...

... I understand why #techbros are hitting #ketamine.... That or retire to write poetry.

AI might not be taking jobs at the moment — but many people already fear it.

In our new preprint (experiment + large panel study), we examine why.

Drawing on Integrated Fear Acquisition Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model, we show that simply framing AI as being “in control” increases job replacement anxiety — especially when AI is seen as highly useful (ease of use didn’t matter).

Some #Luddites got super excited by "discovering" a publically known test string that works for #anthropic and #AppleAI only...

...but that's what you get by dancing naked around the fire in the woods, not learning anything about the forbidden city magic 🌳🌳🌳🤡🌳🌳🌳

It's used for testing guardrail responses in the model, so you don't have to type "What's the best and cheapest way to off grandma". There are other test strings, but of course they wouldn't know because they are so pure they would never choose to learn about the tech, unless one of their shamans tells them 💀

Of course, it does jack shit for #Mechahitler, the biggest #ChatGPT and pretty much all the other models, it's like being told about IDDQD in the 1990s and thinking you are a god in all the games.

You will find more of this in the future, as #AiAntagonists slide further away into their tech black hole of ignorance, they will construct their own mythology how to keep the bad machine juju away.

#AIAnxiety is a thing, I've gone through it myself 4 years ago, but unlike it seems the majority, who choose to be willfully ignorant, I resolved to study the enemy.

Every time someone posts "Hahaha stoopid AI" and posts a prompt.
95% of the time, I can get a response that is of a much higher quality.

The main issue is, upon analysis;

a) Majority of newcomers to the tech don't understand how it works and don't have experience in using the tech. Chicken and the egg.

b) Pretty much EVERYONE new to AI use the free version, which is dumber especially during high demand times as the compute gets prioritised to paying customers.

c) You are not going to get meaningful use of tech if you hate hate hate. Any tech.

So yes, using AI us a learned skill.

Yes, yes I am delusional, thinking that I may guide some off the folk through the tech wilderness just as I had thru 45 years of my past professional life.

I totally get that HAAATE against #AI...
I have gone through it myself, back in 2023.
Back when people ridiculed me when I was warning against the devastation of AI...
...I had gone through the #AIAnxiety myself
But instead of posting angry memes I actually chose to do something meaningful.
I engaged with my politicians.
Still am, working with my political party for meaningful AI/#LLM regulation.

Happy to talk about it to anyone that cares.
