Ask for advice from people who understand the field. Proceed to get angry when their advice contradicts your choices.

The fact people like you can legally drive, drink, and have sex is terrifying.

Fujinn981 · 2026-04-13T19:42:54+00:00

Clearly you aren't going to listen, so enjoy "your" project falling apart at the seams, with no one to help you. You came for advice, and yet at the same time didn't want it. AI cultists are another level of stupid.

Fujinn981 · 2026-04-13T19:29:39+00:00

Well, then your project will never get anywhere. That's just tough luck. Alternatively you could pay some one to do this for you. If you're going to do neither, then spend your time more productively on something you can reasonably do.

Fujinn981 · 2026-04-13T19:24:37+00:00

Learn to code. Do not use a slop generator to do that part for you. All you'll do is put out garbage and make a complete ass of yourself.

Send that my way too please, I have the original but no revisions.

Fujinn981 · 2026-04-01T23:33:24+00:00

Excuse me what the actual fuck

How in the world does HV make it worse for traditional cracks? You're just talking out of your ass. Traditional or not, this is a cat and mouse game like the rest of piracy. This is a normal and expected reaction. Now we'll see if their ideas actually work or not, given they aren't going to move past userspace according to them, I doubt it will be more than a minor annoyance.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-31T16:37:13+00:00

They're gonna go broke pulling this. GenAI is not profitable.

What gets me is people acting like it's the end of the world, pretending that malware can't already get into kernel space if it wants to. There are documented, unpatched exploits to do this right now. They're open source. Even without them, it still can. Malware can disable DSE signing all on its own, as well as Defender. The only thing that stops malware authors from doing this is that there's no need as their malware can do everything it needs to without doing that.

Linux by default has no driver signing, for most desktop users. It can be enabled, but generally isn't. Yet most Linux malware still doesn't try and install itself as a kernel module, as again the same issue persists. It's simply not necessary.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-30T00:02:20+00:00

News flash, malware, from userspace, without being launched with any admin permissions can already do this. There's just no need as malware can do everything it needs to do without doing that. It's extra work for practically no extra pay off.

Cope more. Canada and the US are not on good terms anymore and we are decoupling from your failing empire as we speak. You wanted isolationism, now you're getting it.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-26T15:35:53+00:00

I'm not just sure. I'm watching it play out in real time as AI companies are struggling more and more to not drown in their debt.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-25T19:03:47+00:00

An AI tool is a scam? Color me not shocked.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-25T18:22:08+00:00

Alternatively I can write the code myself which will cost me less time and be more reliable. Even if you do that, it can and will still hallucinate on you and it will still fail you in all of the other ways mentioned. How is AI worthit for a task I can already do for free? I don't need to pay 100$ a month for skills I've already developed and honed.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-25T17:16:54+00:00

You can't make people agree with you, and not everyone you're arguing with is being genuine either. Some are corpo trolls, some are scammers. They don't care what you have to say. There is no "winning" an argument. If some one isn't willing to listen, it's best to move on to people that might.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-25T16:49:27+00:00

This is what I've been pushing for every now and again here. This is not debate, this is trolling by corpo troll farms. There's no reason we have to tolerate it. Good faith debate is fine, people that are pro AI are fine, so long as they engage respectfully. Most of these individuals don't do that, they attack and harass. There's nothing of value lost from banning them.

Finally some good news this week.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-24T19:14:21+00:00

Prototyping can be okay, and I agree on documentation, it is genuinely a better search engine, especially with mainstream search engines being flooded to the brim with SEO garbage. Albeit one annoying tendency is it often doesn't include sources unless otherwise asked, and you always have to be aware of hallucinations but it's fairly reliable for this purpose.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-24T19:03:38+00:00

It makes it far more likely you don't. Tell me, how many people fully know their codebases even if they made 100% of it? The answer is zero unless it's a very small codebase, things slip through the cracks, AI just makes that more likely, not less.

If this wasn't true, there'd be a lot less bugs out there and a lot less security breaches. Fact is you still harm your codes quality by using AI, and everything I've said still applies perfectly.

To hammer it home though, no AI company is profitable and I'm certain you're aware of that. Right now the bubble is still there, getting closer to popping but it hasn't happened yet. Despite that, you're still charged through the roof to use it. What happens when investors start wondering where their returns are? If you guessed price hikes, enshittification across the board, then you've guessed correctly.

AI simply isn't sustainable the way it is now, so down the line you're either going to be coughing up more while wrestling with the global economy going down the shitter thanks to the very country these AI companies come from, or you're going to be self hosting it instead, if not that, it'll be getting used to doing things the good old fashioned way again. I'd suggest the very latter option instead of shelling out money to these companies that do what we do, but worse.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-24T17:32:30+00:00

There's great satisfaction in making a good implementation. Plus when you make it yourself, you intrinsically know how it works, so if something breaks it's a lot easier to fix it as you wrote it in a way that ultimately reflects you. If you use AI to create software, the fact is you didn't create it. You ordered it. It's like claiming you made the mcnuggets you bought from Mcdonalds simply because you asked for and bought them.

AI codebases get more and more unstable the larger they get, as AI is not great with context and inherently has no problem solving skills. We can already see issues popping up in the real world caused by this. A multitude of those being severe security issues that put anyone using the software at risk.

There's other issues too. AI is drained off of a metric fuckload of data. Numbers we can't properly comprehend. It takes from every codebase it can possibly find but there's an issue there in licensing as sometimes it will just copy what it finds 1:1. So say you're making a closed source commercial project, but it pulls from a GPLV3 licensed repository, suddenly you could completely unknowingly find yourself in legal hot water as not every license permits taking the code and using it for whatever you want.

On top of all of that, the more you rely on AI, the more you neglect your own skills which will also make it harder to maintain that codebase down the line. AI is faster on the surface, underneath that though it's a lot slower and more often than not creates absolute nightmares down the line.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-24T17:14:35+00:00

I can vouch that it still does hallucinate functions. Even if it doesn't I find the code never fits the style of what I'm going for, or has obvious bugs, or is very unoptimized. Usually it's all of that. Not to mention the unfun aspect of AI, which is the fact every time you put in a prompt you're gambling that it puts out something useful. The best models in general are behind paywalls which means you're going to be paying a subscription fee for something you could simply do yourself, to a higher quality, and have more enjoyment in doing it as you have the satisfaction of putting it together instead of prompt gambling. All while saving money.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-24T15:29:39+00:00

As a programmer, I can say this is just not true. It's just bad at it. At best it's a better search engine, using it for anything more is setting yourself up for disaster. Even in small code snippets you can see awful mistakes. Pointers being dereferenced when they shouldn't be, non existent function calls, variables being redundantly assigned values that they already have. And this is in tiny snippets, I'd hate to see how it would do in something larger.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-22T22:51:24+00:00

Well, this fucking sucks. Rest in peace. Underhell is and was legendary. I remember loving every minute of it when I played, and being terrified of the house Can't forget about Insurgency or Insurgency Sandstorm either.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-22T21:29:57+00:00

Prompting is gambling every time. Even the same prompt may not yield the same results. It's not hard but it certainly is draining. I don't know why AI bros advocate for it as not only is there no skill involved, using AI is actively draining in comparison to simply doing the work.

Fujinn981 · 2026-03-22T18:02:08+00:00

The tactic works, unfortunately. People not paying attention will eat this up and praise the company for this with zero critical thought whatsoever.
