A thing that deeply troubles me about the people in my field is that they’re telling me that programming doesn’t give them a sense of purpose, challenge and fulfillment—instead the great beautiful future is yelling at a simulated human slave until a barely working piece software materializes, made from a million shards of stolen work.

I am now hearing that using three of something in writing is a sign of AI now.

And not literally a long standard and super effective way of writing.

Delighted to have fucking incurious proud illiterates playing AI whisperer.

I hope you step on a lego em-dash in the dark.

LLMs are mansplaining as a service, but more specifically that type of mansplainer who googles your question and replies authoritatively with the first result that comes up, despite having zero understanding himself.
