This is the simplest tool in the repo, a simple LLM sleep function. Somehow this thing will consume tokens even when its not fucking doing anything???

Like look at this shit: "Each wake-up costs an API call, but the prompt cache expires after 5 minutes of inactivity — balance accordingly."

That's not a function you idiots, that's an LLM instruction. Sleeping, the simplest fucking thing in the world, takes active processing power for Claude Code. Galaxy brain levels of stupid.

If—and right now it’s a big if—things do eventually work out, watch how quickly people forget how close we got to complete democratic collapse. They’ll say we overreacted. They’ll forget those who suffered and died. They’ll move on. But the victory will be worth it anyway. Keep fighting.

I would just mention that I'm not sure those are users. There are a ton of what look like fake comments on these AI generated garbage songs.

@mattsheffield

I was going to say that "AI" might be able to replace needle drop composers, but tbh this is *bad* needle drop.

I worked in advertising for 20 years, and would not have selected this for $750 and an in perpetuity global license.

@mattsheffield

"AI" is *garbage technology* that is *derivative*, as in everything it makes is straight-up derived from something(s) human beings made.

When you try to train them on other "AI" created stuff they break. Badly.

Because they're *garbage* that makes *generic, averaged-out garbage*. For the low, low cost of all of your freshwater, global agriculture, and the future of your kids.

And yes - there are lots of people who cannot distinguish needle drop. Taste, amirite?

🤷‍♂️

@mattsheffield

I mean, it's needle drop.

Like, don't get me wrong: there's a composer who makes a couple hundred thousand a year literally listening to this and shitting their pants, but I listened to as much as I could stand (about a minute) and it was just needle drop.

You know - generic, unimaginative, cheap-o background music. Trite, formulaic, expected, sterile.

You play it behind the DeVry University commercial because they refuse to pay for real music.

Needle drop.

New WebAIM Million report for 2026 is out. #Accessibility issues found increased over 10% from the previous year, credited to 'vibe coding' practices and genAI/LLMs, as well as 'more complex homepages'.

tl;dr: when LACK of accessibility is prevalent, genAI makes the gap widen even more. This occurs with other things too: sexism, racism...

@cms

It turns out when the user base has been conditioned to accept that the system randomly provides incorrect output ('hallucinates') when operating 'correctly', HOW it fails is not so important. Pull the lever and try again.

@bodil

@bodil It introducing memory leaks is specially bad, because the code "will work", but the leaks will cause problems in the future, when you are not debugging that code anymore. Yeah, slop is slop after all.
@themipper @bodil Hint: the people looking at it and saying this is how it should be are the same people who measure productivity in LOC.
