"the emperor is not only naked, he's smooth like a ken doll down there and i'm pretty sure that's just a mannequin with a colony of rats living inside it anyway"
@jonny "whispering to cursed sand" became entirely too literal with this garbage.

I finally unsubscribed from @theaifix
4/5 of the most recent podcasts have been people just accepting the hype, and today's episode contrasting with https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930 shows without a doubt that the pod no longer delivers value.

"Coders will be obsolete!! We can all go relax on boats while Claude code does all the work!" Is an entirely blind assessment of the situation.

It is fair that most enterprise software sucks and in that context maybe adding more garbage software doesn't make things worse. I guess this is where things like NIS2 matters even more. When you can no longer sell your slop because there's no way you can pass any certification needed to even bid, maybe people will start learning?

I can hope at least.

- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

If AIs write in a mix of African dialects of English, what style of German do they write in? Is there a "delve" equivalent or some other tell that's due to the dialect of the folks who are training it?

What about French? I would imagine French AIs also speak with African dialects?

I ordered a second hotjo mug, thinking that way I'll definitely have one to drink out of if the repair fails. It arrived broken too, so I sent it back.

Now getting a mug is no longer just a vague desire, it's a full on quest!

My used book order just came in! Why oh why do I have so many errands, and so much work to do. All I wanna do is read!
I never understood the concept of Moltbook - why create a social network for AIs to talk to each other when there's already LinkedIn?

I've had this idea to make stickers that say "but first, raktajino" in the original Klingon. As you can tell, no AI was used in making this image. I've ordered 200 stickers. Find them at #emfcamp this summer.
