  • I work in software. Just in day to day:

    • lazy people are now using AI to slop out meaningless drivel at me rather than taking five minutes to articulate an actual thought
    • shit is frequently broken because people surrender their thinking to the LLMs, don’t understand what the agents are doing, and don’t check the work output

    Broadly:

    • the industry is built on theft and whitewashing of human effort
    • fraudulent valuations and circular dealing
    • the frontier AI companies are all run by lying sociopaths
    • and yet the global economy now hinges on a handful of AI or AI-adjacent companies
    • many corporate types are now convinced they don’t need real human labor anymore, and treat the working class accordingly
    • AI is an incredible force multiplier for scamming/spamming
    • hyperscaler data center build out is mathematically impossible, environmentally ruinous, and harmful to your health
    • LLMs are literally making us stupider
