- Comment on OpenAI's 'Jailbreak-Proof' New Models? Hacked on Day One 4 days ago:
“AI” has a massive inability (or is purposefully deceptive) to distinguish the difference between bugs, which can be fixed, and fundamental aspects of the technology that disqualify it from various applications.
I think the more likely story is that they know this can be done, know about this particular jailbreak person, can replicate their work (because they didn’t so anything they hadn’t done with previous models in the first place), and are straight up lying and betting the people that matter to their next investment round (scam continuation) won’t catch wind.
You’re giving these grifters way too much credit.

Ok? Either openai knows that and lies about their capabilities, or they don’t know it and are incompetent. That’s the real story here.
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Any “experienced” developer that says these AI tools have drastically increased their productivity is full of shit
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 1 week ago:
Or, I could just write it myself, instead of ending up like these guys sketch.dev/…/our-first-outage-from-llm-written-co…

I don’t like ORMs, but I’d rather use a battle tested ORM than some vibe coded data layer.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 1 week ago:
I’ve seen a lot of stupid shit over my career but this AI zealotry just takes the cake.
Everyone is so convinced these tools will make software get made faster, but I’m not even convinced that it gives even a modest benefit. For me personally they definitely don’t, and it seems to lead junior devs horribly astray as often as it helps speed them up.
It feels like I’m not even looking at the same reality as everyone else at this point.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 1 week ago:
There’s relatively little debate among developers that the tools are or ought to be useful,
Yes there is. No one wants to listen to us. I’ve had 3 levels of people above me ask me how I’ve incorporated AI into my workflow. I don’t get any pushback because my effectiveness is well known, yet the top down edict that everyone else use these shitty tools continues unabated.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 1 week ago:
And why should anyone care what he says?
- Comment on Anthropic tightens usage limits for Claude Code – without telling users 3 weeks ago:
One user, who asked not to be identified, said it has been impossible to advance his project since the usage limits came into effect. “It just stopped the ability to make progress,” the user told TechCrunch. “I tried Gemini and Kimi, but there’s really nothing else that’s competitive with the capability set of Claude Code right now.”
Lolz
- Comment on Tech to protect images against AI scrapers can be beaten, researchers show 4 weeks ago:
Yeah there’s the difference. I’m not convinced there is a robust poison but I’d love to be wrong
- Comment on Tech to protect images against AI scrapers can be beaten, researchers show 4 weeks ago:
You’re completely talking past me. Everyone knew it was a flimsy baracade and that if the LLM companies hadn’t circumvented it they would soon. That doesn’t stop people from continuing to innovate. Publishing the results mean there is a public solution anyone can use.
Do I think it’s the worst thing that could happen? Not really, but your security through obscurity argument makes no sense in this context and it would probably be better if it wasn’t done and published so every bad actor can use it with minimal effort.
- Comment on Tech to protect images against AI scrapers can be beaten, researchers show 4 weeks ago:
This will be a never ending arms race. There isn’t going to be a permanent obstacle, so all this did was help the bad guys move to the next stage.
- Comment on Tech to protect images against AI scrapers can be beaten, researchers show 4 weeks ago:
Of course it can be beaten. All that happened is these university employees did big tech’s work for them and they’re try to spin it like they’re on artist’s side anyway

Already out again!
- Comment on Google's slow Chrome Extension reforms anger developers 5 months ago:
Mozilla making the judgment that it may be more effective to attempt to push advertising tech towards more privacy friendly technology (i don’t agree with them but I can understand the thought process) and Google being an evil advertising empire are not even remotely the same thing.
While you’re technically correct, this false equivalence you’re trying to draw is just absurd.
- Comment on Google's slow Chrome Extension reforms anger developers 5 months ago:
As if these are all equally deep in advertising with the same motivations and history
