We’ll see more initiatives organized end-to-end by small groups of smart people, with virtual teams/coalitions forming to bypass “archaic” processes and deliver meaningful results.

What you’re describing here has always been the case. The pattern in software is always that a small, actually empowered group does the initial development and r&d, then if the product is a success the maintenance people come in and drain it of any progress via overbearing process and middle management. There’s rare exceptions, but I’ve seen this over and over again.

Small teams build good things, then they get acquired and those things are slowly or quickly destroyed.

Eh I’m sure they kinda know beforehand, but everyone chooses themselves. There might be one or two free radicals in there, but most people are going to be afraid of career implications, legal problems, or both.

Just what everyone needs, the Internet of things wired into their brain. No problems with that ever. No sir. /s

How much mega corporations and the government give a fuck about people is becoming visceral these days.

Let’s be honest it already isn’t mine

Wow what a circlejerk this turned into.

Oh well, I guess that’s what everything really is the whole time.

Same

AI chatbots could dissect your children and we’d still keep them. We’re finished caring about anything but money and power.

I’d like to imagine a different world from this. One where anyone gives a shit about what happens to someone else. Maybe in the next life.

FPTP primaries can be implemented in most places without any need to win elections or hold seats first. Of course though the Democrats aren’t doing this already because then every one of their geriatric do nothings in blue areas would be replaced by mamdani-esque candidates.

Yeah no way his dick still works.

Hot take: they had no ability to code in the first place.

Goodhart’s Law states, “Once a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”

In this case, it wasn’t even a good measure to begin with and became a target because of the 💩 brained business idiots that run everything.

Now these companies are racing to see who can throw the most money into the fire to show that they’re the most zealous and deferential to the AI cultist management that have taken over all software companies.

Because they want you to be a fucking debt slave and die penniless.

(That’s why they’re bragging about how well credit card companies are doing right now.)

I tried to use it to make a simple drawing for an internal app logo the other day and wound up running out of tokens for the day trying to get it to put the rungs back into the ladder that it kept removing.

For many of its uses as well, training will have to continue forever. That doesn’t seem sustainable to me but hey it is 2026 and most people’s primary concern is still fossil fuel prices. So, 🤷. Who knows how long it could go on for?

This thing popped up on my Android Auto the other day in the middle of a drive and I cursed at it because I was trying to get directions and then it kept responding “I don’t respond to hostile language”. Fucking annoying.

“I ask you how is playing drums. You say it’s too much shit to carry.”

Leaving it up to the democratic president that follows to implement the dumbass plan despite it being obviously stupid, and face the fallout from the bad decisions allowing another maga president immediately afterwards. (Like Biden with the Afghanistan withdrawal.)

I’ve had Motorola phones for my past three or four phones. Latest one I’ve bought is the 2023 razr. They were a bit of an also ran kind of phone for many of those, but it’s definitely worth pointing out that their phones were basically always unlocked, and that they have remained an excellent value in comparison to shit companies that eat penis for a living like horrible ass Samsung.

When my Motorola phone had some problem, I was always able to pick up a new, unlocked one for around a hundred bucks.

IMO, Motorola continued doing what Google Nexus was doing at the exact same time that Google discontinued the Nexus line and started the Google Pixel line to try to emulate Apple and/or Samsung.

This is the sort of thing you do to big companies with no morals, doing it to a small open source project is just wrong, they don’t have the manpower or money to redo the investigation you already did.

Given that the dude works for an AI-based security company, and Forgejo and services like it (e.g., codeberg.org) are how you abandon the mess of vibe-coded trash that is GitHub, in my opinion, he has a motivation to pick apart this specific service.
