One reason that it’s hard to take anti-ai discourse seriously here is the underlying assumption that everybody using ai is somehow all-in and uncritical about the technology. Yet the llm for coding discourse on X looks like this… everybody was dunking on Claude code too, for example, except the takes were usually informed and funny.

I can actually have productive discussions there, about labor, about ethics, about technical quality, about novel ideas, about concrete uses, and even have fun and good laughs (do I like that the main timeline is a hellhole? Of course not). There’s a reason most people don’t switch over to bluesky or mastodon, if even mentioning that you use llms just gets you abuse in the comments, or the assumption that you aren’t thinking about the consequences of your actions.
