AI doesn’t have a tendency to be sycophantic, it’s precisely selected by people who define what success looks like to be sycophantic.
Let’s be clear in attribution here.
I’ve been noticing an increase in #AI slop across entire stacks recently. Every time I try to review the changes, I arrive to one of the two questions:
- why the fuck did you need AI for this?
- why the fuck did you commit this shit?
And regardless of the question of choice, I have one simple worry in memory of Stuxnet - y’all motherfuckers are offering control over entire tech stacks to a handful of corporations. What else is new, really, but no one bothers to pretend anymore.
Not all autistic meltdowns are visible.
Some of them look like smiling, nodding, “I’m fine.”
All while your body is on fire.
Internalised meltdowns don’t disappear.
They get redirected - into dissociation.
Into self-blame.
And because no one sees them, no one believes how much they cost.
