Agreed. I’m with you it should be treated as a basic tool not something that is used to actually create things which, again in my current line of work, is what many places have done. It’s a fantastic rubber duck. I use it myself for that purpose or even for tasks that I can’t be bothered with like creating README markdowns or commit messages or even setting up flakes and nix shells and stuff like that, creating base project structures so YOU can do the actual work and don’t have to waste time setting things up.

The hate can be overblown but I can see where it’s coming from purely because many companies have not utilized it as a tool but instead thought of it as a replacement for an individual.

that’s interesting in all honesty and I don’t doubt you. all I know is my bank account has been getting bigger within the past few months due to new work from clients looking to fix their AI problems.

the bubble has burst or, rather, currently is in the process of bursting.

My job involves working directly with AI, LLM’s, and companies that have leveraged their use. It didn’t work. And I’d say the majority of my clients are now scrambling to recover or to simply make it out of the other end alive. Soon there’s going to be nothing left to regulate.

GPT5 was a failure. Rumors I’ve been hearing is that Anthropics new model will be a failure much like GPT5. The house of cards is falling as we speak. This won’t be the complete Death of AI but this is just like the dot com bubble. It was bound to happen. The models have nothing left to eat and they’re getting desperate to find new sources. For a good while they’ve been quite literally eating each others feces. They’re now starting on Git Repos of all things to consume. Codeberg can tell you all about that from this past week. This is why I’m telling people to consider setting up private git instances and lock that crap down. if you’re on Github get your shit off there ASAP because Microsoft is beginning to feast on your repos.

But essentially the AI is starving. Companies have discovered that vibe coding and leveraging AI to build from end to end didn’t work. Nothing produced scales, its all full of exploits or in most cases has zero security measures what so ever. They all sunk money into something that has yet to pay out. Just go on linkedin and see all the tech bros desperately trying to save their own asses right now.

the bubble is bursting.

I think whomever is modding here today deserves a beer or three.

They don’t. But the wealthy, the corporations, etc, they do.

not even sure if it’s denial at this point, looks like the Israelis are well aware it’s happening and don’t care.

what’s happening is our current system right now is in the process of failing. it’s dying, it didn’t work and it can no longer sustain itself. Someone once said something along the lines of “When the current system fails, the next one will consist of whatever ideas are left”

So what ideas are left? the ideas of the far right, just like far right ideas are ALWAYS left when a system is about to die. So all these governments, all these wealthy individuals, all these people that have the most to gain are are going start backing the new up coming system. We’re seeing it in real time.

But this has happened time and time again. We’re a collectively dumb species and love watching repeats. it’s always the same song and dance “well lets go this way, sure it didn’t work out last time but I don’t believe it’ll happen to us THIS time”.

So it’s not so much “what the fuck is this timeline” but rather “well it’s our generations turn for bullshit”. And it always skips a generation. So the boomers didn’t experience it, but their parents did, and now it’s our turn. Hopefully our children or our Kids children will be smarter than boomers but…we as humans sure do love watching reruns.

Thank you, appreciate the answer.

you seem like an expert and I was actually wondering this yesterday while I was out on a walk cause I tend to think about silly things. So Theropods evolved into birds right? what about Sauropods or like Triceratops? or did they just go extinct

All MS needs to do is cook their frogs (users) slowly, over years, and MS will be just fine and can add whatever they want.

They’ve been doing that for decades and if you’re still a MS user at this point you’re well over cooked.

I remember in the 90s when people raised a fuss about IE being the default browser. Nothing changed. Nothing is going to change. for the majority of users what’s your option? you go to Apple where they’ll pull the same shit. a very small percentage (and yes it is growing) will just switch to Linux.

I really hope it was from someone shitting in his cornflakes.

as someone who participates in the Arch forums/IRC etc…it’s been “woke and gay” for a long, long, time now. I mean shit if you don’t have your own pair of knee/thigh high socks are you even a real Arch user?

OR, and hear me out on this one, you could TAX THE RICH.

Does this cheese eating surrender monkey want the French to riot? because this is how you get the French to riot.

the issue with Bluesky is primarily the userbase. the vast majority of them want something that “just works” and if you provide them with alternatives they scream and reeee and all that. it’s annoying. also annoying the constant unoriginal posts of “Mastodon is the Linux of social media” like it’s some gotcha moment for them.

i.e. his rich buddies called him up and said “we need/want more money, go manipulate the market again” to which Trump said “sure i’ll fuck with Canada some more”

that’s all this is. Carney needs to stop playing nice and start up the digital service tax again.

“History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of War, Peace, and Revolution continue on forever.”

to piggy back off this over the past year I’ve done just that. I’ve switched to all European and Canadian companies or just straight up FOSS stuff for my services.

Well lets see I wonder what the reason for this could be. Could it be the deal we signed with Greeland on Thursday? Could it be the 2.5bil US companies owe us on Monday? Could it be the fact they murdered one of our Citizens? gee which one could it be?

Fuck em and fuck that country. I hate Nazi’s and it makes my stomach churn that I have to live above a nation full of them.

My parents have dual Canadian and US citizenship I’m desperately trying to get them to back here to Canada. I’m really worried about them right now because any day now ICE or someone could tell them their US Citizenship means jack shit.

The drives too long for your average US Citizen. at least that was the common excuse on the other site. “Drive is too long to DC” or “I have a job that’s tied to my medical insurance” Best they could do was ONE day of protest. On a Saturday.
