@jamie I can imagine the law being quickly changed to come to the aid of the vibe-coders.

@jim But think of the children! /s

@anderseknert If it was my project I’d close the PR with a simple “ai:dr” comment the moment I knew it was an LLM agent and wouldn’t even attempt a “conversation”.

@ChrisMayLA6 Even if it was the printer that stuffed up, it’s on them for not checking it and distributing it.

@cstross @adamrice Fear of missing out on the upswing. Most investors are not driven by any rational analysis but by two instincts, greed and fear. Looks like we are in the middle of the flip from one mode to the other.

@cstross It was obvious bollocks (just like hyperloop, the boring company etc…), just I didn’t know why he was boosting it as I didn’t realise he was planning an IPO this year. Tosser.

@sundogplanets Orbiting data centres are stupid for a huge range of reasons, not the least powering them, cooling them and fixing them. Just another idiotic idea from Musk (Optimius, Cybertruck, The Boring Company, “Full” self driving, etc….).

@petealexharris @Remittancegirl @angusm @cstross Quoting Sergio Caneva, writing in 1973, describing Italian Fascism in his book documenting the history of partisans in the Veneto (my translation).

“Fascism was neither an idea nor a doctrine, it was just a big cloud of soot created to defend the interest of the land owners and industrialists ... with the abuse of the word ‘fatherland’.”

History rhyming and all that.

@petealexharris @Remittancegirl @angusm @cstross That’s because they dare not actually be upfront about what they want to impose on us. So their main way of getting people on side is to simply make people scared and angry at imaginary things.

@cstross @lauren They could just go full Spartan and leave new borns out overnight so that only the “strongest” survive.

(Note, this is not a good idea on so many levels).

@gamingonlinux @cstross Oh FFS.
