We are already reverting to OSS local models.

LLMs are extremely convoluted random word generators, it's a stretch to think that anything can make a bunch of words with weights attached "smarter"

This is pure financial engineering.

Google's parent company owns shares in SpaceX

SpaceX about to do an IPO making it the biggest grift/loss in history

Google's parent company uses Google under the pretext google needs compute (hahha) to prop up their SpaceX investment

It's not more complicated than circular investments on a planetary scale and the shamelessness and greed of everybody involved.

I tried stuff like Claude and Codex and I ended up using the same as always: vim and Intellij.

This is only because of AI. In the past the barrier for contribution was high because you had to know what you are doing and put effort.

Nowadays any AI lunatic with a couple of tokens to spare can spare no effort, have no understanding and still flood you with a wall of code that on first look might even look okay (spoiler: it's actually trash). That is tiring for maintainers.

This is all about AI

Any newly produced AI code is immediately legacy and trash at the same time.

These days, I typically start a new feature by asking Claude if the description in the ticket is correct, and if so, I am asking for a suggested solution. I avoid steering Claude to a given solution, even if I have one in mind. Perhaps there are better ways of doing it that I haven’t thought about. I also don’t want Claude to just go along with whatever I suggest.

This is next level dystopian. In your own flow you are not a developer, not even a project manager or a product owne, more like some random consultant thats barely affiliated? Does that make you happy? Do you get any satisfaction out of that flow?

I also have a great experience with Google account reps.

Other companies usually have a soulless void of an automatic system which gives you no confirmation your messages and inquiries are received whatsoever. Not Google. There is always a human on the other side so you know you are in good hands. Trust and connection are the things I value the most in this very two sided relationship.

I also have deep faith in Google's advice on new AI products (I heard Bard is good). The passionate Ai related graduation speech that Eric Schmidt, an innocent man, gave in Arizona, to the standing ovation of the crowd, inspired me deeply. I am now an even bigger Google fan than I ever was.

They will deal with it alright.

It's only so many speeches like this before the boos turn into other things.

The seriousness of whats written is drowned in the fact that its written by AI.

Have you considered not prompting claude to make your blog posts? In fact, have you considered not making these blog posts at all?

Let me get this straight.

Finance ministers are concerned about a made up marketing hype thing that nobody has seen nor verified.

Finance ministers, on the other hand, have no concerns about real verified scientific impending disasters like global warming?

To me that just means we need different finance ministers who have their priorities straight.

People on this forum often confuse not crying for the death of an evil racist white supremacist fascist with applauding their death.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent

Agreed, just look how the US handled Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and now Venezuela and Iran.

Both sides should be able to end employment for any reason whatsoever

What an uninformed take! That's why we have labor laws and such a thing as "wrongful termination" exists.

The bottleneck is and always has been writing good code, so reviewing is as important as ever. Interestingly enough, LLMs help tremendously with writing code but severely impact writing good code, so nothing has changed.

This is the future.

NFTs and crypto were also the future.

I don't think we'll ever manually write code again. It's just so much faster.

More work for the people who like to fix tech debt.

Yep, very meaningful difference indeed. It's not like professionals have ever have had a vested interest to spread misinformation to shill a product.

It's not like there were ads with real doctors recommending Camel cigarettes.

It's not like the browser "breakthrough" recently which pulled 300 OSS dependencies together, removed attribution and called the mess "working".

The desperation of the Samas, Musks, Satyas and Anthropics of this world and their fanbase to paint marginal 0.0001337% improvements in a gamed SWE ranking as something worth any attention is just delicious. Opus 4.6? Please, more like Opus 4.5.0.2-RC. All I hear is the sound of a bubble going pop. Delightful.

It's an opensource project made by a dev for himself

I see it more as dumpster fire setting a whole mountain of garbage on fire while a bunch of simians look at the flames and make astonished wuga wuga noises.

Why have a code of conduct while being hostile to contributors?

AI issued PRs or issues being called "contributions" is like me dumping my garbage in front of your house and calling it a "donation".

Thoroughly answering somebody's questions and refuting their points is not appropriate for this forum?

We should all agree with each other and sing along how lucky Venezuelans are that US, the self proclaimed world police, came to steal their oil and bomb their capital (terrorism/war crime)?

US going full terrorist/Russia at the same time is fun to watch.

A "military operation" in another country's territory (without declaring war, like a coward) and entering their capital is the same as ICC wanted military criminal Putin did to Ukraine.

"Raping the planet" warranted? Hyperbole?

No, simply a good choice of words.

LLMs cause a lot of harm to everyone:

- The investments in data centers to support the hungry slop producers drive habitat extinction and resource depletion that could be used for better things than a programmer too inept to write a for loop (https://news.mit.edu/2025/explained-generative-ai-environmen...)

- The electricity demand from LLMs drives local electricity prices up so we as a society (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/business/energy-environme...). Not only that, but criminals like Belon Pusk provide electricity for their N*zi bots by totally ignoring environmental rules and regulations and just giving a huge methane middle finger to all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VJT2JeDCyw)

- LLM makes its users dumber and dependent on them in general (https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/ove...)

- LLMs are created and trained by stealing labor (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/04/us-authors-cop..., https://www.wired.com/story/new-documents-unredacted-meta-co...)

Spam itself is useless and bad, electricity, water and other resources, bits and bytes of attention taken from this world so somebody can try to convince you the next thing you need in your life is a plastic piece of trash or another version of a phone with marginal upgrades.

What Rob received is worse than spam, it's Spam 2.0. It's even less environmentally friendly, serves no purpose, and it makes its users dumber and dumber (and the inevitable bubble pop will take the whole economy with it because people were delusional enough to invest in a behemoth money guzzler with no path ever to profitability). Yeah, he works for EvilCorp, but it's never too late to grow a conscience. If you yourself are not angry and you consider it a "silly thing", you are part of the problem (see part about LLMs making populations dumber en masse).

That is demonatratively not true on github and gitlab, both having the ability to set an email alias which redirects the messages to your real email without revealing it.

Lets turn this into an accountability thing please.

The same way we name and shame petrol and plastic CEOs whose trash products flood our environment, we should be able to shame slop makers. Digital trash is still trash.

Solve this dilemma accounting for the fractal parameters that go into it, and you'll have a utopia.

Progressive tax on income

People generalizing about how bad LLMs are at coding are often doing it out of a very unusual perspective (like J Blow) or doing it out of bad faith.

Thats why the only study up to date on developer productivity with AI shows 19% reduction of productivity and the most up to date study on LLM usage in the enterprise show that 95% of projects with LLMs fail.

I'd say its bad faith to claim LLMs are useful considering all studies so far show the opposite.

Ah, another weekly AI booster article from the AI booster gang.

Hate to break it to you, but if GPT-5 is better AI researcher than you, you were probably not that good to begin with.

Does Codex tell you why 95% of AI projects in the enterprise fail? Or why the only study up to date on merits of AI for coding shows 19% decrease of productivity.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power"

Is a quote often wrongly attributed to Mr. Fascism Benito Mussolini himself, but whoever said it had made a damn good point. Be aware that what you are seeing now fits the exact and precise definition of fascism.

It's amusing seeing the US descend so quickly in pure unadulterated fascism and the amount of denial and attempts to sugar coat it or window dress in places like HN. Then forums like this will go dark, and next thing you know, the brownshirts from the modern Gestapo/Stasi/ICE would be knocking on your door.

Make no mistake about Google and Apple: moderating anti fascist apps or content is abetting fascism (that applies to HN mods as well).
