I love them so much
And now I'm at the point where I'm just tired. I'm so fucking tired. I keep remembering my little buddy that I took to class with me almost every day is gone now, and that people are getting snatched, and that there literally was a fucking tech bro sh@dow g0v oligarchy and I feel fucking insane

Scene at a tournament in the 1300s: A knight in full armor on his horse (only without the helmet, which a page is carrying) rides up to a richly decorated stand of spectators. Subverting the expectation that he'd ask for a "lady's favor", he instead receives said favor from another, younger man who is tying a ribbon around the knight's jousting lance. Ladies look on surprised/shocked/delighted.
The Knight's Favorite
A wildcard for a medieval-themed tarot (that might or might not happen in the near future) where I had complete artistic freedom for the subject! โจ
So I went with "what if courtly love at the tournament, but make it gay?" ๐

I hope all of that makes sense, and I don't blame you and we shouldn't be complacent or trusting. I had some coworkers who vibe coded (weren't programmers, but if they actually took courses offered they could have been), and talking with them was so mind numbing. It's the IKEA effect in full force.
07.02.2026 18:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I haven't used it in my coding because like you said, deskilling can happen FAST, but I've been strong armed into at least having to understand this stuff and how it can be applied with some semblance of ethics given the fact my job is demanding we integrate it.
07.02.2026 18:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0These tech bros have made AI (which I hate that humanizing term, they're algorithms with large data sets.) synonymous with chatbots and image aggregation when there's smaller, more effective, and way less intrusive uses for it. But that doesnt give them money or control over our lives.
07.02.2026 18:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Not every model is created equally, and there are open source models being created that are making these tech bros VERY anxious and I'm all for it. Also models that are used for say, going through data or like in Dune for motion tracking eyes, aren't nearly as resource intensive
07.02.2026 18:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I don't like where llm and gen AI is right now. I think open AI is run by a bunch of freaks (we know now Th13l literally helped create 1nc3l culture with 3pstein)
It needs to be regulated. Heavily.
But that doesn't mean it has no responsible use in science and tech for data analysis & automation
(yes I used an em dash, I like them, this isn't an AI comment)
There is a difference between vibe coding (asking chatgpt to make flappybird for you then saying you know how to code)
Versus automating deployments, using it for linting, and not having to repeatedly write foundational code overandover
Stolen code is a little off. Obviously I don't know the code base of what Github copilot and others are using, I need to look into that. But a lot of code is open source and stack overflow, git, etc are all places to share code and work together โ HOWEVER

I don't know what it is but as soon as I sit in front of my computer at my desk, I'm getting in my head before I can even put words down. Writing in a Google doc on my phone? Suddenly wrote five scenes in three hours and plotted a whole other story without a second thought.

I'm literally seeing verbatim satanic panic shit just like what was happening with 1sra3l and blood l1b3l.
All it does is take away from the REAL ACTUAL HORRIFIC THINGS THAT HAPPENED AND GIVE LESS CREDENCE TO THE VICTIMS BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO GO VIRAL ONLINE.
