EnshittifAIcation - IT Notes https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/03/20/enshittifaication/

„So I find myself wondering: if they're so convinced that AI is better than senior professionals, why don't they replace the bosses with AI?“

Giving an AI access to human „agents“. Interesting thought, but I think AI would be very unhappy with the humans. They only work 8h a day, need breaks and go on vacation. Soon it would fire everyone and replace them with AI agents 😄

EnshittifAIcation

Three episodes, one week. AI bots that hallucinate VPN requirements, recommend Apache configs on nginx servers, and suggest replacing 128 GB of RAM with a cloud VPS. A field note on the cost of mistaking confidence for competence.

How AI companies sell it: "productivity improvement at an unprecedented scale"

What developers actually get: "an initial notable productivity boost that regresses quickly"

I use #Claude. I like it and I have a pro subscription for a while now. #ai is a great tool, especially to find information when you don’t really know what you are searching for.

But I am not concerned about my job. I don’t let the AI write code for me nor do I think that it ever will be able to. That’s a fantasy fed to us by the ai industry.

Yes, there have been crazy leaps in #llm capability, but there is a limit and the limit will be hit sooner or later. I think it will be rather soon.

A pitch deck is a lossy compression of reality tuned for maximum appeal. A pitch .md in a GitHub repo is version-controlled, forkable, and transparent.

You can see the entire history of how the founders described their own company.

That's a better signal than gradient fills.

The pitch deck is dead. Write a pitch.md instead.

Every week, thousands of founders open Canva or Google Slides or, God help them, PowerPoint, and begin the ritual. They agonize over fonts. They nudge logos three pixels to the left. They workshop whether the TAM slide should come before or after the team slide, as though the ordering of

Westenberg.
In Kopenhagen gibt es die Vorschrift, dass alle wichtigen Radwege bei Schneefall bis spätestens 08:00 Uhr morgens geräumt sein müssen, damit die Menschen sicher mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit fahren können. So sieht dass dann aus❤️😀

Don‘t forget that humans are particularly bad at foreseeing the future. Ages ago in school I was told to paint the future and I was certain that we had flying cars by now. Later, about ten years ago, I was absolutely sure that all road vehicles would be self-driving in 10 years. And that this was the end for truck and taxi drivers. I was very wrong 😄
We’ll probably still write a lot of code in 10 years.

I‘ve used Claude and other AI tools a lot in the past. It’s a great tool for debugging, planning, prototyping and learning.

But I still write all production (and most of the personal projects) code myself.

The problem is that using ai to write your code makes you dumber. It’s shallow work.

We should be weary about those AI articles and must assume most of them are sponsored by ai companies, given the amount of money being thrown around.

Die endlosen Lügen des Donald #Trump können auch hilfreich sein, zum Beispiel um sich auf die echten Fakten zu besinnen.

TIL: China baut massive Solar- und Windenergie aus ... "[...] etwa 40 Prozent der weltweiten Windenergieerzeugung [...]"

Wir müssen aufhören uns einfach nur ständig über die USA zu empören und die Lügen und Drohungen auch mal nutzen um uns klarzumachen dass wir besser sind - in vielen Bereichen.

Die Rede von Trump in Davos im Faktencheck

Auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos hat Trump gut eine Stunde lang geredet. Dabei stellte er viele Falschbehauptungen auf, allen voran über Grönland und die NATO. Auch einige ältere Falschaussagen wärmte er wieder auf.
