IMO algorithmically generated "social" media feeds combined with the lack of adequate mass-media alternatives have supercharged cult recruitment in the last approximately 10 years.

Stupid people in my life have been continually and recklessly joining harebrained cults for the last 5 years.

Really I think it's probably much, much easier to start a cult these days than it has ever been. Good news for tech company founders I guess, bad news for American culture, American society, and the American people.

What even is there on twitter these days except neo-nazi hatemongering and LLM generated child porn?

i thought the term was "pedophile"

correction: Republicans are pro-pedophile

Hackernews is dominated by these people

LLM marketers have succeeded at inducing collective delusion

I'm up to 29.8x productivity in the first week of 2026 by continually running 12 concurrent agents, each with 3 independent sub-agents. Each third sub-agent generates new prompts for its corresponding agent by engaging with a custom-defined MCP protocol.

It is only funny until that vibe coder is building the data warehouse that holds your data and doesn’t catch the vulnerability that leads to your data leaking.

This is unacceptable. Why would I patronize a business that hires vibe coders? I would hope their business fails if they have such pitiful security and such open disdain for their clients.

The operator is incentivized not to use them property

These are "AI"-addicted developers that you're talking to.

They have been tricked into a world-view which validates their continual, lazy use of high-tech auto-generators.

They have been tricked into gleefully opting in to their own deskilling.

Expecting an "AI"-addicted developer to file a bug is like expecting an MSNBC or Fox News viewer to attend a town meeting.

The goal of "AI" products is to foster laziness, dependency, and isolation in their users.

Expecting these users to take any sort of action outside of further communication with their LLM chatbots does not square with the social function of these products.

Edit (response to the guy/LLM below me):

Hackernews comments written by fearmongering LLM idiots will tell me to "keep an open mind" about dogshit LLM chatbots until the day I die.

LLM technology is garbage.

If these tools are changing the world, they're only doing so by:

1. Dramatically facilitating the promulgation of idiotic delusions

2. Making enterprise software far, far more vulnerable than it was even in the recent past
