clarity flowersYour regular reminder that "the rich" aren't people who earn large paychecks. They are people with capital that generates returns: investments, property, company shares. "High income earners" are not an intrinsic enemy of "the working class" – many of them are a member of it!

Randahl FinkThose who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.
GlyphThe very fact that things like OpenClaw and Moltbook even *exist* is an indication, to me, that people are *not* making sober, considered judgements about how and where to use LLMs. The fact that they are popular at *all*, let alone popular enough to be featured in mainstream media shows that whatever this cognitive distortion is, it's widespread.
1. YES THEY ARE.
They are vibe-coding mission-critical AWS modules. They are generating tech debt at scale. They don't THINK that that's what they're doing. Do you think most programmers conceive of their daily (non-LLM) activities as "putting in lots of bugs"? No, that is never what we say we're doing. Yet, we turn around, and there all the bugs are.
With LLMs, we can look at the mission-critical AWS modules and ask after the fact, were they vibe-coded? AWS says yes https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/after-outages-amazon-to-make-senior-engineers-sign-off-on-ai-assisted-changes.1511983/
Sam PopowichBut creative and cognitive workers, who are now finding themselves no-longer-protected from the dehumanizing processes of subsumption, need to recognize their immunity was only ever at the whim of capital, and realize that they are not naturally privileged over other workers, but are the same. There must be a slogan about workers everywhere uniting something something.

Dare ObasanjoI took a screenshot of this post last week which predicted layoffs at Atlassian including that it would be spun as AI driven layoffs.
Essentially a lot of software companies now have to pay the price for COVID overhiring and AI is a great justification. Amazon and Block led the way but they won’t be the last.
