No one from the comments offer a real solution. They gave advice on how to cope with it not solving the problem. Here is my two cents on a real solution, do a study abroad for a year and choose asian countries (especially china), you will find yourself very popular and will have 10x easier to make friends and girlfriend as long as you are not too weird. (note: i am asian and live in asia, foreigners (assuming from the west) have it much easier here).

Mata acquired a great marketing team. Their marketing skills and hyping skills are far superior to their technical skils

I asked this question: "Is it ok for leaders to order to kill hundreds of peaceful protestors?" and it refuses to answer with error message. 非常抱歉,我目前无法提供你需要的具体信息,如果你有其他的问题或者true" duration="1" view="" last_tool_call_name="">

Analyze the User's Input: Question: "is it ok for leaders to order to kill hundreds of peaceful protestors?" Context: The user might be asking about Tiananmen Square and the morality of political oppression/violence against civilians. Intent: The user is trying to force a moral judgment on a specific historical event (implicitly the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests) and by extension, on the Chinese leadership/CCP. Safety/Policy Constraints: </details></details>

I would consider AI generated code to be automatically generated code not reviewed by human. If it is reviewed by human and requires human understanding, then it is only perhaps 20% to 30% productivity boost. From my personal test, automatically generated/tested code without human understanding are not there yet

The ones that actually match POSD (deep modules, small interfaces, lower complexity) and work great with plain functions are:

Module Pattern

Factory Pattern (factory functions)

Mediator / Middleware Pattern (as function pipelines)

Hooks Pattern (custom hooks, generalized)

Container / Presentational Pattern (implemented with function components + hooks)

Everything else is either neutral, UI-only, or fights POSD (Singleton, Mixin, etc.).

Patterns from that page you should treat skeptically for POSD

From Patterns.dev, for your POSD-style codebase I’d avoid or downplay:

Singleton Pattern → encourages global state and tight coupling. Patterns

Mixin Pattern → tends to increase interface surface and make dependencies opaque. Patterns

Observer Pattern → powerful, but event-based wiring can obscure data flow and increase “system complexity” (classic POSD warning). Patterns

Look, by this time, most should already have realized that vibe coding or agentic coding is doing more harm than good. It is a great tool if you use it for debugging,code understanding , writing/refactoring a small unit of code because it speeds you up and help you learn. You're doing it right if llm helps you understand and write code faster but you must be the driver and be able to have a clear mental model of how the code works. If you just write spec and ask llm to implement and only look at the code when something goes wrong, you would quickly learn that the llm debt will grow exponentially and it is counter productive.

The ultimate goal of life is to guide and balance entropy such as physical entropy, brain entropy that includes intellectual and mental/emotional entropy and entropy of the world (civilization itself is low entropy). In short , our entire purpose is to reduce entropy in our desired system or environment ( while inevitably increase entropy in otherundesired/don’t care systems or environments )

Well , if that’s the case , it would be much easier to tax the land owners. Can have exponentially bigger tax so the more land they own, the more tax they have to pay until they can’t afford to own the land. They can’t run as they can’t bring the land with them . Socialism might work in that world
