Honestly this guy should just start his own fucking codebase where him and his promptfondling circlejerk buddies can vibecode bricks together.

He already did

New Blood in the Machine, about the slop-nami's effects.

Harry was immediately convinced quidditch is good as is

Fun fact: the Harry Potter fandom (when it still existed) turned Quidditch into an actual real-life sport back in 2003 (with the first game being played at HP fan-convention Nimbus 2003, fittingly enough).

The sport changed its name to Quadball in 2022, for Extremely Obvious Reasons.

So yes, there are people out there who thought it was good as is. (Mostly.)

The purpose of AI is theft, exhibit ∞

Mozilla continues to double down on AI, promising to "do for AI what we did for the web" in their latest (probably AI-extruded) blogpost.

In related news, I found a toot thread attributing the current shitfest (and AI's popularity in general) to "a strong majority of even the actually well-intentioned, smart leaders in tech [getting] their brains fully cooked by these heuristics machines". Where the OP is finding those "well-intentioned, smart leaders", I do not know.

Found the original source

Checked back in on Framework's rotting corpse.

The company's retired their official Discord server (in the Blade Runner sense), about a month after the mod team jumped ship over the company's fash turn. There's discussion on the Framework forums about it, too.

Its not the only social media platform they've abandoned - they left Bluesky and Mastodon to court fascists on Twitter a while ago.

google has genuinely been getting worse too.

That's a one-two punch of Prabhakar Raghavan publicly executing it for profit and the slop-nami drowning out human-made work via SEO-optimised garbage (indirectly assisting Google's enshittification efforts in the process).

Publishers have been reportedly readjusting their businesses to account for this shit - combined with Google's enshittifcation and the slop-nami, we may see Google (if not search engines in general) lose a lot of relevance due to AI.

Okay, quick TL;DR:

Subnautica is a video game made by Unknown Worlds - their first game released in 2018, and the sequel's been delayed to 2026 after some major development shakeups in July 2025 (namely, Unknown World CEO Ted Gill and co-founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire getting fired)

Krafton, who acquired Unknown Worlds in 2021, are currently being sued by Gill, Cleveland and McGuire. The company stands accused of screwing the three out of $250 mil in bonuses that a release into Early Access would've helped them earn.

Most likely the latter - Gerard's already done a couple Pivot to AI posts about AI's ability to lobotomise its users (Exhibit A, Exhibit B). Someone else has noted their coworker admitting to the lying machine ruining their Google-fu, too (source):

Presented without comment. (Don't have source, but I did find another link mocking Grok glazing Musk)

Not content with forcing AI on anyone and everyone, Apple has forced the lying machines on AI-rejecting writing software Scrivener.

Why am I getting James Somerton flashbacks

If the AI bros get these things built before the bubble pops, we should expect bad designs, not allowing for local conditions, setting up the reactor operators for ridiculous errors, and lots of nuclear accidents. Hopefully not very big ones. Cross fingers!

If and when those accidents start happening, its going to set back adoption of nuclear power by years, if not decades - especially if there's an incompetent response to those accidents (which, considering Starmer and Trump are in charge, is worryingly likely)

One of the other important things about the nuclear regulation process is that it makes sure the local people are involved. You can’t skip that step either. If you just run roughshod over the locals for the sake of AI, you’ve already got people in the streets protesting AI.

The government will almost certainly try to just bypass the activists. But remember: anti-nuclear activists have decades of experience at this. So I’m sure it’ll go great all round.

Anti-nuclear activists are going to have a field day with this, aren't they?

"Techbro syndrome" would be a perfect name for it, honestly.

The Audio Mods are doing God's work keeping the portal slop-free. Its good to know there's at least one place where human-made work is still valued.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has caused backlash for Activision after AI slop Calling Cards were discovered in-game.

Beyond causing large-scale backlash on Reddit, Twitter and basically everywhere else, its also gotten called out by US Congressman Ro Khanna (also on Twitter).

I also learned Bitwarden bought into AI reading this. They don't appear to have let vulnerability extruders ruin their code as of this writing, but any willingness to entertain the fascism machines is enough for me to consider jumping ship.

Its also one of the authors of "Attention Is All You Need", one of the founding texts of the AI ideology.

I’m gonna say it: The entire “artificial intelligence”/“machine learning” research field is corrupt. They have institutionally accepted the bullshit fountain as a tool. It doesn’t matter if they’re only using chatbots as a “pilot program”; they’ve bought into the ideology. They’ve granted fashtech a seat at the bar and forced all the other customers to shake its hand.

Abso-fucking-lutely. Oxford's latest "research paper" isn't marketing - its propaganda. Propaganda for bullshit fountains, and for the ideology which endorses them.
