Screenshot of a key point of the article: "Technologies like LLMs have utility, but *the absurd way they've been over-hyped, the fact they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value.*"
The part from the asterisk is highlighted by me.
I wholeheartedly share this view with @anildash.com — although on platforms like LinkedIn it definitely can feel otherwise. www.anildash.com/2025/10/17/t...
My biggest issue with the pervasive AI propaganda is the assertion of the inevitability of a AGI w/o provable evidence.

I fell in love with the internet and it’s chaotic, weird and geeky culture and vast potential for enabling a more open, more connected and wonderful world to live in — before it started to be commercialized and Big Tech started to take control from you, often without noticing. That is by design.

Klimaschutz: Wie die Regierung den KTF zweckentfremdet
Deutschland droht die Klimaziele zu verfehlen. Doch statt mehr Klimaschutz zu machen, will sie aus dem gleichen Topf CO₂-Zertifikate kaufen.
Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung.
Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll.
Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

Fix it only when it breaks. If it needs to scale, make it scalable. If not why bother 😎
There might be another problem looking to be solved by you our there 👀

Or, if it's still running just fine and its users are happy, build a new thing, and that way not only learn about making code more efficient and maintainable but also learn how to build something useful and meaningful, like, learn to build a business, help saving our planet for ourselves.

Wir haben in dem USA klar gesehen, dass Vibes ohne Anerkennung der realen Probleme substanzlos bleiben.
Aber es braucht mehr als Verhinderung. Es braucht starkes Gefühl, *für* etwas, klar und einfach zu verstehen. Möglichst konkret.
Wie siehst du das @arnesemsrott.bsky.social?

All lowercase (not sentence case). But obviously when shouting (randomly as robots have a hard time to empathize) in ALL CAPS.
When being confused or trying to infiltrate with tech oligarch propaganda and conspiracy theories, maybe random case?

And … in the middle of the street — clearly before 1995. And looks like it was a stormy day.
