#AI is ultimately not about technology per se. It uses technology to achieve a goal, which is to further concentrate money in the hands of the oligarchy. Why scatter capital across a bunch of stupid human workers via wages when you can spend that money into another asshole billionaire's coffers? That asshole will turn around and spend it back into yours in the process inflating both of your balance sheets.

Real money gets concentrated and additional fake money gets created. It's a great deal for a few dozen of the richest, worst people in the world. It's doom for everyone else.

But sure, tell me how productive Claude makes you.

Truly the release of the #ClaudeCode is the greatest possible gift to AI skeptics like myself. They proudly proclaimed themselves as eating their own dog food in coding it with itself. Like all dog food, it ends up as dog shit.

Recently I disengaged with my local developer community when at an in-person event where I was looking for specific recommendations the only advice given was "Just have Claude code it." At the time I found this unsatisfying. Now that we've seen the quality of what Claude code produces for itself - one would assume the crown jewel of code production - I smugly double down on my rejection of that advice.

I will steadfastly refuse to erode my own skill set in favor of a tool that can achieve short term goals at the cost of all quality, understanding and pride in one's output. Claude and all LLMs can go to hell.

This is now my favorite regex of all time. I wish it was my job to maintain it.

/\b(wtf|wth|ffs|omfg|shit(ty|tiest)?|dumbass|horrible|awful|piss(ed|ing)? off|piece of (shit|crap|junk)|what the (fuck|hell)|fucking? (broken|useless|terrible|awful|horrible)|fuck you|screw (this|you)|so frustrating|this sucks|damn it)\b/

I note among other half-assedness, this matches "fuck you", "screw you", "screw this" but not "fuck this". It also matches "piece of shit" but does not match "pos" .

This was exactly the decision making process I went through when I opted to move to my own self-hosted Forgejo instance. I even got the actions working to build my #11ty blog and it wasn't that difficult.

I don't want to fend off the AI features and I don't want my stuff training the models. Bleh. I'm tired of #microslop in a big way.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. This kind of thing is not why I retired but it is why I am grateful every day that I do not have to work in IT in the #AIBubble.

On this show, I talk about the rise and fall of my idea for a local honey marketplace with a side journey into a disappointing talk about technology.

Sure, your vibe coded app is great. So I told Claude to look at yours and make one just like it but now I control the code of that one. Did I plagiarize your plagiarized work? Will I have mine plagiarized?

Boo hoo. Fuck you. No honor amongst thieves.

I've had a big few days. I've made changes to my blog to support the human.json format and added an AI statement to my blog. I've also today farted around with tags.pub, registering this account as one from which tags are pulled and following a few tags myself.

Earlier today, I happened to run across the AI statement from Beto Dealmeida, the guy behind the human.json project. While he is all about asserting the content of his blog was 100% human authored, he built his blog with Claude.

I guess this is like finding out that you are more hardcore and straightedge than Ian MacKaye.

Over the weekend I ran across the Human.json project. This is a protocol so lightweight it practically doesn't exist. It's a JSON file you can put on your website in which you can vouch for other sites as being completely created by humans with no LLM involvement. This allows other tools in which you explicitly trust a site to show you sites that have a transitive chain of trust from the one you picked.

I had one of those "Oh cool" manic episodes. I learned about it and within the hour I had it up live on this site. I have a pretty small pool of vouches right now. I'm not planning to expand willy nilly. I started to add other sites but then I realized while 99.9% sure they have no LLM in their creation, that number was not 100%. I will only add someone to my vouch if they directly tell me convincingly or make a clear public statement renouncing LLMs in the creation of the site.

It's a small step, but a step. After yelling at the incoming tide, it's nice to have something concrete one can do. If you want to vouch for me, I promise that Evil Genius Chronicles has no generative AI anywhere in the chain. As I am finding out various tools are using LLMs in their code, I am removing them. I will keep my hands as clean as I can in this filthy business.

Good luck out there.
