Let me clarify a litle bit. why am I with this HN guy? My work is now forcing this nonsense on everyone. Like any other major IT work, they think it is the future because C-suites are getting free BJs from AI companies. I don't want to use these tools, not even for paid work. The other day, I wrote a small Python script to automate certain tasks for my own needs. Now, that was fun for me, but not this forced AI bullshit. Forced stuff never work on people who can think & knows what's good & bad

My other biggest hate for AI and all these companies is how they are stealing others' work. Just because someone put their art, song, book, or forum post/wiki contribution online doesn't mean it is free to steal. Not to mention environmental issues. If you really want to train your shitty AI, pay up to all these people first. You have money in trillions. Instead, they are stealing, firing workers, and building massive data centers and surveillance networks to drag down everyone. So fuck off!

@nixCraft I hear that exhaustion. Most 'AI' today is just bloated corporate theft. But I spent my DCS years broke in Colab, hand-coding Bayesian sims and custom transformers because I wanted to solve real problems, not push buttons. At Shaolin Data Services, we don't use the 'Big Tech' scrapers. We build lean, efficient models on Cloud Run that actually respect the craft of engineering. Don't let the corporate haymakers convince you the art is dead—some of us are still forging our own steel.
