this is actually what it should be used for. If companies pivoted their AI use to exactly that I almost guarantee you peoples opinions, i.e. middle manager wannabe techbros on linkedin, would change on it. But this is what AI should be used for. mundane project management style tasks. let your devs do dev work, let your upper management continue to do nothing and reap the rewards, and get rid of the yes men/women in the middle. THAT’s when you’ll see the shift.

It is. I don’t know if you do any development or simply write code as a hobby but you get a sort of dopamine hit when something you’re working on actually works. like a bug or something that’s been dogging you for days and suddenly you figure it out. it feels good. I can’t remember the quote but Linus Torvald said something similar. it’s a good feeling.

Now imagine you get that constantly, consistently, again and again because you strictly use an AI agent. that’s what these tech bros are getting. The problem is unlike actual devs they’re getting that hit because it essentially “works on my machine” as really that’s all the AI turns out. Something that surface level functions. So they’re addicted to it. “oh man that was so fast and easy, lets build something else!” over and over again.

The problem then becomes they’ll run out of ideas or things to build and will naturally have to start trying to maintain what the AI built utilizing the same AI. Annnnnd if you’ve had any experience with these agents you know “that’s where the fun starts” those dopamine hits are going to vanish very quickly. Now these people are “chasing the dragon” so to speak. AI doesn’t know it was the one that built the thing. I’ve seen it first hand with my clients vibe coders when I’ve asked them to go back into something that was built and have the AI start fixing bugs that I’ve found in my review. the vibe coder panics, it doesn’t understand what the agent is telling them, the agent believes the vibe coder built this thing. suddenly it’s not fun anymore. suddenly it’s not churning out semi-working results. suddenly things are breaking.

This is the one aspect NONE of these companies or tech bros or vibe coders like to talk about it. Haven’t you wondered why you rarely read stories of them sending their AI agents back into the thing its built to scale it or fix something? it never turns out well.

So it is an addiction. And they’re all collectively chasing the dragon. But eventually they stop getting their hits and will crash out.

or you can literally just do what is it? something+tab? and it just goes to town without the need for you to confirm anything.

I mean it’s gonna turn out slop that won’t scale and be full of exploits anyways regardless if you auto confirm or not. then just rig it up to ping your phone when it’s done…oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn’t know how to do that.

no point. there are much better places in the world and hell even in Canada itself to vacation. I’m not going to travel to a Nazi country and risk being detained at the border cause I want to save $50 on something.

a couple of my parents friends are snowbirds, they all sold their properties in Florida.

pretty much anything that is “you build it youself” so Arch, NixOS, Gentoo, etc

but yeah I’m also tempted to finally give BSD a go.

I’ve used PikaOS which is Debian based and IMHO it’s right up there with CachyOS. super fast install, fast distro, great package manager, and repos with the latest stuff. very stable too.

The fact that there was never a phone, never going to be a phone or plan, and they still took deposits and then said “yeah, you’re not getting those back” would land any other person in front of a judge and promptly into a prison cell.

If you or I ran this scam you know that would be the outcome. This is just another clear example that if you’re a person of power and wealth the laws simply don’t apply to you. This isn’t a United States issue, this is a clear example of a world wide issue that we as regular people should be rioting over. I don’t care what country you’re in you HAVE people in your countries that do this shit daily. We should be placing heads on pikes.

The common question I get asked from my clients when stuff like this comes up from their end to end coded slop is “ok, but like how easy is it to access?” and then I say “quite easy” which is usually followed up with “how long can we get away with it?”

They don’t care. If they can continue pulling cookies from the jar right up until they get caught they will continue to do so. The AI Agents, still to this day, cannot figure out how to build things without massive gaping holes or how to potentially scale something. AI can’t do it or rather doing those things goes against it’s initial instructions from like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc to provide the user with the quickest possible solution. Remember these agents don’t need to provide ACCURATE or safe solutions, they just need to provide SOMETHING.

You can try to prevent security exploits and what have you via your prompts but that’s a coin toss if the agent is actually going to do it and simply not claim it has done it an then you later find a #TODO in the code where the agent claimed it did do it but simply just added a comment. your average vibe coder isn’t going to know how to look for this or even how to fix it or provide a better prompt to ensure it might happen.

It’s the blind leading the blind. vibe coders are just project managers that learned how to download sublime text.

Hallucination Pandering.

sooooo reading a browsers user-agent is now a thing to worry about? oh look I changed my user-agent and now this dumb ass site is giving all the wrong info woulda look at that.

“We know where you are based on your IP” yeah bro, that’s how IP’s work. look i turned on mullvad, omg now it says i’m in Sweden!

“we know you’re using an AMD gpu” gasp ya don’t say. oh look I changed my user-agent again and now you think I’m on nvidia, crazy how that works huh?

This is a dumb bullshit site.

oh look it’s built by these morons: https://riseuplabs.app/ a company that vibe codes every “product” they have. so naturally building a stupid site that just pulls your user-agent would seem amazing to them.

This is bullshit marketing for their bullshit vibe coding. report this post, it’s an ad.

May fall off? hell you can total a Cybertruck with your bare hands. you can probably just pull them off without any tools.

you know at this point it wouldn’t surprise me if LLMs were trained on his crap specifically. I mean apparently game microtransactions with like CoD were his idea, 4chans /pol/ was his idea, all the other crap that we now deal with were his ideas. ALL the bullshit we deal with today can pretty much be directly attributed to this ass clown.

it’s also resulting in fresh grads that don’t know anything. this is naturally by design. within the past couple years I’ve come across so many new devs that just don’t know jack. can they answer tickets? sure. can they provide prompts to an agent? yes. beyond that? good luck. and their salaries reflect this.

None of these fuckers think long term. it’s all quarter by quarter. I see it in my job even with startups. Build something now, use AI, it works now? great. it won’t scale a year or two down the line? that’s a problem for future me.

Are we making money now? great. what do you mean a year or two down the line there will be no one left that makes enough money to buy our shit? that’s a problem for future me.

As a Canadian, I’m sorry for this guy. He’s from Montreal and yeah we don’t like him either.

bingo. lets see how many emdashes are in the note.

or recently start recommending you videos/mixes in your feed of stuff you used to watch years/decades ago. I don’t know why there doing that but I’ve just been getting hammered recently with crap I watched like 10+ years ago.

come on now you think the yanks have learned something? they haven’t learned a thing for decades. Did they learn anything after Reagan? Bush Senior? Bush Jr twice? you honestly expect them to figure it out NOW?

I remember for my birthday one year I wanted the Sega CD Memory card/cartridge thing. It was literally just a memory card BUT I thought it was some magical tool, officially licensed/made by Sega mind you, where I could then go to blockbuster and rent games and it would then SAVE those games…in their entirety…to the memory cartridge. thus allowing me to have a bunch of games without paying full price for them. This is what I believed the thing did. that was my birthday present. a memory card.
