This assumption that you "can't stop" AI... SHUT IT DOWN.
The guy got his life back when his subscription ended. I feel like that's a FUCKING CLUE as to how to end this nightmare. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/mar/26/ai-chatbot-users-lives-wrecked-by-delusion
Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.
Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.
It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.
Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.
The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.
Lots of striking stats about how Americans feel about AI
• 80% of Americans are concerned about AI.
• 74% of Americans believe the government is not doing enough to regulate AI.
• 70% of believe advancements in AI are likely to lead to a decrease in the number of jobs.
• 55% of Americans believe AI will do more harm than good in their day-to-day lives.
• 35% are excited about AI.
• 30% are concerned their own job could become obsolete
"The contradiction between use and trust of AI is striking. Fifty-one percent say they use AI for research, and many also use it for writing, work, and data analysis. But only 21 percent trust AI-generated information most or almost all of the time. Americans are clearly adopting AI, but they are doing so with deep hesitation, not deep trust," said Chetan Jaiswal, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Computer Science and Associate Chair, Department of Computing, Quinnipiac University School of Computing and Engineering.
THE CAVES OF STEEL (1986)
Acrylic - 18" x 30"
The composition of this painting is dictated by the "caves" metaphor running through the narrative and reflected in the title. The figures of Baley and Daneel are surrounded by the vast metal "cave" of an Earthly city. 1/4
Supergirl teases a New Trailer #supergirl
Seems like everyone, except the politicians that are supposed to represent us and have their finger on the pulse, know that tech bro Ai is empowering fascism and causing gratitious harm. Or maybe we just keep electing crooked and incompetent politicians.

Tech journalist Karen Hao, who once worked in Silicon Valley as an engineer, is sounding the alarm on holding AI giants accountable. She argues people need to push back against massive companies that are 'consolidating a historic amount of economic and political power, terraforming our earth, reshaping our geopolitics' as well as our lives and work.
