@jbz "I denied a cocaine pull request and then a cocaine posted a hit piece about me. And then someone wrote an article about it but actually cocaine made up a bunch of quotes by me."

@jwz Works for the code side of things, fails with music, though. You can't just lock people in with a bunch of GPUs and get Rumours.

@jwz Only difference is that cocaine sometimes brings creative thought, see Stephen King for instance...

@jwz That's actually pretty much exactly his point too. He explicitly states:
"It would seem that we are addicted to a new drug, and we don’t understand all of its effects yet. But one of them is massive fatigue, every day.
"[...] is genuinely addictive. The better you get at it, the more you want to use it. It’s simultaneously satisfying, frustrating, and exhilarating. It doles out dopamine and adrenaline shots like they’re on a fire sale.
"Many have likened it to a slot machine. You pull a lever with each prompt, and get random rewards and sometimes amazing “payouts.” No wonder it’s addictive."
Even the fucking boosters are talking about it as an addiction that capital is exploiting because it lights up money sign in their eyes. This is how the boosters are describing it.
The slot machine metaphor is more apt than ever.
If generative “AI”-assisted programming in general is like playing an old-school slot machine from 50 years ago - you know, mechanical reels, three or four symbols each, one coin per pull - then programming with “agentic” generative “AI” is like playing one of those horrifying multi-line slots where you can put 10 (or more) bets up simultaneously, and you get multiple dopamine hits from “winning” 4 or 6 bets when you’ve paid for 10.
The biggest gen-“AI” coding boosters right now can scarcely describe *what* they’re building, or planning to build, with their supposedly enhanced tools or skills, beyond what seems to be an ever-increasing number of “agents”. It really does feel like too many of them — the ones who are dominating the pro-gen-“AI” side of the discourse — are caught in the same sort of doom loop as people who are getting sucked into playing ever more elaborate slots for ever increasing amounts of money.

@theorangetheme It is completely opt-in. Your room comes equipped with a mirror, a spread-out line and a stainless straw, but if you call down to the concierge desk, someone will come up and flush that down the toilet for you. If that's really what you want. By the way here is a pamphlet about our ethical cocaine initiative.
