If you’re paying $200+ a month for a tool that doesn’t work then i’m sorry but you deserve to potentially have your bank account wiped out by it.

this is actually what it should be used for. If companies pivoted their AI use to exactly that I almost guarantee you peoples opinions, i.e. middle manager wannabe techbros on linkedin, would change on it. But this is what AI should be used for. mundane project management style tasks. let your devs do dev work, let your upper management continue to do nothing and reap the rewards, and get rid of the yes men/women in the middle. THAT’s when you’ll see the shift.

It is. I don’t know if you do any development or simply write code as a hobby but you get a sort of dopamine hit when something you’re working on actually works. like a bug or something that’s been dogging you for days and suddenly you figure it out. it feels good. I can’t remember the quote but Linus Torvald said something similar. it’s a good feeling.

Now imagine you get that constantly, consistently, again and again because you strictly use an AI agent. that’s what these tech bros are getting. The problem is unlike actual devs they’re getting that hit because it essentially “works on my machine” as really that’s all the AI turns out. Something that surface level functions. So they’re addicted to it. “oh man that was so fast and easy, lets build something else!” over and over again.

The problem then becomes they’ll run out of ideas or things to build and will naturally have to start trying to maintain what the AI built utilizing the same AI. Annnnnd if you’ve had any experience with these agents you know “that’s where the fun starts” those dopamine hits are going to vanish very quickly. Now these people are “chasing the dragon” so to speak. AI doesn’t know it was the one that built the thing. I’ve seen it first hand with my clients vibe coders when I’ve asked them to go back into something that was built and have the AI start fixing bugs that I’ve found in my review. the vibe coder panics, it doesn’t understand what the agent is telling them, the agent believes the vibe coder built this thing. suddenly it’s not fun anymore. suddenly it’s not churning out semi-working results. suddenly things are breaking.

This is the one aspect NONE of these companies or tech bros or vibe coders like to talk about it. Haven’t you wondered why you rarely read stories of them sending their AI agents back into the thing its built to scale it or fix something? it never turns out well.

So it is an addiction. And they’re all collectively chasing the dragon. But eventually they stop getting their hits and will crash out.

or you can literally just do what is it? something+tab? and it just goes to town without the need for you to confirm anything.

I mean it’s gonna turn out slop that won’t scale and be full of exploits anyways regardless if you auto confirm or not. then just rig it up to ping your phone when it’s done…oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn’t know how to do that.

why was the hospital protecting this guy so much? The fact that Nurses would prevent family members from going to the hospital if this guy was on rotation is telling. He must have a shit ton of info on board members or something.

pretty much anything that is “you build it youself” so Arch, NixOS, Gentoo, etc

but yeah I’m also tempted to finally give BSD a go.

I’ve used PikaOS which is Debian based and IMHO it’s right up there with CachyOS. super fast install, fast distro, great package manager, and repos with the latest stuff. very stable too.

As a Canadian whose city is also hosting World Cup games I 100% agree. cancel it. It’s a cluster fuck. My city was going to have some FIFA festival thing and at first it was “tickets will be free” then city council changed their minds and said “actually no, now you have to pay” THEN they changed their minds and said “free for some, the rest need to pay”.

They’re also now starting to roll out a “clean up the city” crap which actually means remove all encampents, tents, people living on the streets and get them out of sight so the precious world cup tourists don’t see them. house them? put them in shelters? no we have no housing and the shelters are full. we’re just going to “remove them”.

The common question I get asked from my clients when stuff like this comes up from their end to end coded slop is “ok, but like how easy is it to access?” and then I say “quite easy” which is usually followed up with “how long can we get away with it?”

They don’t care. If they can continue pulling cookies from the jar right up until they get caught they will continue to do so. The AI Agents, still to this day, cannot figure out how to build things without massive gaping holes or how to potentially scale something. AI can’t do it or rather doing those things goes against it’s initial instructions from like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc to provide the user with the quickest possible solution. Remember these agents don’t need to provide ACCURATE or safe solutions, they just need to provide SOMETHING.

You can try to prevent security exploits and what have you via your prompts but that’s a coin toss if the agent is actually going to do it and simply not claim it has done it an then you later find a #TODO in the code where the agent claimed it did do it but simply just added a comment. your average vibe coder isn’t going to know how to look for this or even how to fix it or provide a better prompt to ensure it might happen.

It’s the blind leading the blind. vibe coders are just project managers that learned how to download sublime text.

Hallucination Pandering.

sooooo reading a browsers user-agent is now a thing to worry about? oh look I changed my user-agent and now this dumb ass site is giving all the wrong info woulda look at that.

“We know where you are based on your IP” yeah bro, that’s how IP’s work. look i turned on mullvad, omg now it says i’m in Sweden!

“we know you’re using an AMD gpu” gasp ya don’t say. oh look I changed my user-agent again and now you think I’m on nvidia, crazy how that works huh?

This is a dumb bullshit site.

oh look it’s built by these morons: https://riseuplabs.app/ a company that vibe codes every “product” they have. so naturally building a stupid site that just pulls your user-agent would seem amazing to them.

This is bullshit marketing for their bullshit vibe coding. report this post, it’s an ad.

May fall off? hell you can total a Cybertruck with your bare hands. you can probably just pull them off without any tools.

it’s also resulting in fresh grads that don’t know anything. this is naturally by design. within the past couple years I’ve come across so many new devs that just don’t know jack. can they answer tickets? sure. can they provide prompts to an agent? yes. beyond that? good luck. and their salaries reflect this.

As a Canadian, I’m sorry for this guy. He’s from Montreal and yeah we don’t like him either.

or recently start recommending you videos/mixes in your feed of stuff you used to watch years/decades ago. I don’t know why there doing that but I’ve just been getting hammered recently with crap I watched like 10+ years ago.

the fact this thing has apparently been happening for a week or more is weird. It’s like front end web dev 101 type stuff and the fix is quite simple a junior should be able to take care of it. So I’m leaning towards it was an AI “assisted” bug and none of the vibe coders know how to fix it OR what’s more concerning to me is they no longer have any qualified front end devs on staff to fix it. you can literally fix this thing via your browsers dev tools right now if you wanted to.

but yeah if you start looking at the youtube front end you’ll quickly see it’s all pretty much vibe coded now. Another clear as day tell on that is the subscribed shorts section. it’s been broken for months and the fix is easy, they just don’t know how to do it.

it’s Nostalgia bait. I don’t know why this is suddenly a new trend online. Like the articles recently that for whatever reason are about how great Zip disks were. no…they weren’t. no…you weren’t there.

Next thing you know there’s going to be articles about how great a 28.8 dial modem was or digital cameras that used floppy disks were peak for storage. No Julia, they weren’t.

To be fair I would say the vast majority of Mac users are using their machines purely for browsing, note taking, etc regardless of what model they’re on. Most buy a Mac so they can prop open the lid and show off the Apple logo to everyone else. It’s a status symbol, it’s a flag of conformity.

So the Neo fills that niche without spending an arm and a leg to do so AND you can actually easily repair some things on it. As a netbook it’s perfect.

don’t. Even here in Toronto Canada where we’re hosting a few games just don’t. it’s already an absolute cluster of a fuck here. City Council originally said 'hey we’re gonna have a FIFA tailgate party thing where it’s free for everyone!" then they decided “no…no people should pay” and THEN they decided “well ok 80% of the people can get in for free, 20% have to pay”

Combine that and the fact that the main field has essentially been mcgivered to add extra seating so you’re essentially sitting in seats propped up by metal scaffolding WAY high up and the fact the field is on the other side of a crumbling and traffic jammed 24/7 Gardiner expressway…yeah don’t come here either.

well I can understand why Indians are the most nervous about it. I’ve dealt with off shored Indian devs for years, they “perform” about on par as AI coding agents which isn’t saying much.

At least when the AI fucks up it’ll admit it when you confront it.
