Brb, I have decided to dunk my laptop in gasoline, and then throw it into the fireplace as hard as I can. This will make it run super fast and make me effective.

…

Hey guys. Guys! Listen up. I have something important to tell you all.

Ok. So…

This. Damaged. My. Laptop. Turns out the gasoline damaged its internals and the fire deformed it into a solid lump of badly-smelling plastic. The toxic fumes from the battery gave me permanent lung damage.

I know I KNOW it is easy to judge me in hindsight, but literally there was no way to know and I hope this warning helps you avoid doing the same understandable whoopsie I did.

Now, I have learned my lesson. For my next laptop I will use diesel instead.

What is it with AI users that make them comfortable outing themselves as utterly incompetent?

Man says his shipping container can extract 1000 liters of water per day from dry air with no power source.

Lots of polysyllables are given for credibility.

No experimental evidence is provided in article or on company website.

They are pushing the “scarily unsafe” angle not because it is, but because that implies it is powerful.

What are you on about mate

Got same from newest chatgpt (cue “bro you need to use $model-from-last-week it is a zillion times smarter it’s pure cocaine bro”), but the fascinating part was confronting it with the missing car. It doubled down and went all Pissy Redditor With Thesaurus at me, it was glorious.

IOC sells nazi paraphernalia, huh

What is the phrase? Kicking in open doors?

ChatGPT should get you there

Yeah, a bit. But that still has more autonomy than usual with these Claw thing.

The decision to write the piece, the complaints, the tone and the decision to published it were initiated by the slopherder.

Yeah he decides “AI is good actually for coding” but the same reasons apply there.

(Note: Non-coders prototyping is a different use case than professional coding - I am talking about professional coding here)

LLM code lets people shit out systems with no intent. And those systems are a waste of time. They just feel “90% there” for people who never had to finish a project in their life.

In the small scale, I get PRs of 200 lines of JS from someone who felt super productive because Claude wrote it for them. What did the JS do? Replicate the CSS “transition” property badly. They could have written one line instead. And gotten a bug-free, efficient, readable and maintainable version of what they were trying to do instead.

In the large scale, you get thousands of lines of RPC middleware instead of someone saying “hey at this point, should we move this responsibility from module A to module B and get rid of a lot of code?”

And I refuse to be on the defense of luddite or hater like the author does. Because I have never heard that claim from anyone who is capable of actually shipping stuff better or faster than me.

Their stock valuation relies on leaving partnerships like this open.

Watch the incentives, not the face.

Sockpuppeted, not autonomous.

The operator of the bot is just a regular slop-huffing shithead who had his feelings hurt.

As with everything else with Claw that sounds mildly interesting: A shithead human wrote that, or prompted it and posted it pretending to be his AI tool.

Sure.

Most people in entry level do.

That’s not my point.

People not in entry level have other options, and they are discouraged by this.

I never understood this need to filter out applicants who have other options.

If I had three potential employers to interview with and one of them pulled this, I’d put them on hold and see if the others pan out.

They are speedrunning capitalism.

Next is to pass the corpses of the major IP holding companies around and sue each other and everyone for patents until nobody can afford lawyers anymore.

Mine just tries to implement whatever Russia, the EEC or US asks for while pretending it’s their own idea and good, actually.

“Your kid is safe at school, because we insist all teachers use condoms”

Don’t signal boost their lies.

Another spammy wave of invalid security issues is disgustingly disrespectful of the maintainers’ time.
