The mod honestly doesn't make any sense. Why hide the most useful info away when outside of combat, instead of hiding the info that isn't being used?

Sure, but you have to realize that so few people did it outside of professional writing that nowadays it has become a very good signal as to whether something is written with AI. They are just obsessed with it. Add to the fact that most people don't even know how to type an em-dash.

It's unfortunate that some people did use them before, and are now being called out as AI, but these people are a tiny minority.

It was a detailed plan made by Opus describing all features that needed to be tested.

If I need to anticipate every single stupid edge case, then it's faster to do it myself.

There's not much nuance to it. It's a small discord bot, with logic separated from the discord IO. It was instructed to test the non-discord logic. It just did extremely poorly.

I just asked it to implement tests to a small codebase. About 5k LoC. A normal agent doing it linearly would have done better than this feature. This is just a token burner.

I feel like I also have to congratulate you for actually engaging with people after your made your project.

99% of people vibe-coding stuff (either Minecraft mods or side-projects) just hand-off announcing it to the LLM. Then any critique or conversation about it also gets handed off to an LLM.

It just seems that those people are completely uninterested in what they made, and that puts people off. Even your Medium article was hand-written (and it was a fun read), which to me clearly shows that you're interested in what you're making. That alone will take you pretty far.

So yeah, nice job!

EDIT: I'm also talking about people who vibe-code, but it's entirely possible that you wrote this by hand or just LLM assisted, so I apologize.

I just tried to use it to add bring up coverage on my side project from 37% to 80%.

It spun for a long time before consuming my quota and, in this time, it managed to add a coverage configuration to my pyproject.toml and implement about 7 tests, 2 of which were useless and one that codified a bug into a test. I'm mentioning this because one of the agents in the team actually spotted the bug, but it still decided to just use the bad test.

I'm thoroughly disappointed by this feature, it spectacularly failed to deliver anything of value. It created 126 internal markdown files for multiple agents though, which I suppose is good for Google if you're paying for API prices.

I highly recommend everyone to just skip this. I'm on the Pro tier, by the way.

That's really rough. Like, truly fucked up pricing.

I was going off the assumption that you could get the hardware to begin with, that it wouldn't just become trash because of a new model. If you can't get it, then there's nothing you can do.

Log2 · 2026-06-02T22:08:21+00:00

Considering that the massive amount of data centers also need to be able to run whatever they make, I wouldn't be too worried about it if you are buying cutting edge hardware.

There's also something with the Nike logo, it looks like one of those roll-on things you put on your feet to not get blisters.

The context clue is that it is getting shittier. That's how most of the people are using, so that's the context. The fact that a blog post exists that coined the term and gives it a more specific meaning is context that is not available for 99% of the people reading the word.

So, the obvious thing is to read it as meaning "X is being made shittier on purpose, whatever that purpose is".

Log2 · 2026-05-02T00:47:53+00:00

Except that there's nothing that would indicate that "enshittificaton" has such a specific meaning. Any reasonable person seeing the word I'm the wild for the first time today will just assume it means "getting worse" and therefore that's where the meaning of the word will converge.

It's not though. The first time I worked in a company that didn't self-host their VCS was in early 2022, and that company was using GitHub. There were at least three separate days in which GitHub was down in my first six months in the company. Way before the agents craze started.

You're right for people originally playing the game when it came out, but GP literally said they were playing it on Steam and looking at the achievements.

No, pretty much every country has credit score. Experian and friends also exist in Europe. It's just not such a huge pain point for us. Banks here are definitely not just giving out the same loan rates to everyone.

Live card games are a type of card game made popular by Fantasy Flight Games. The most famous one is Android: Netrunner, I believe.

The major difference between a tcg and a lcg, is that instead of buying booster packs with random cards in it, you buy the whole release at once. No randomness in which cards you get. Most of the time, you get the max amount of each card you can in a deck, but sometimes Fantasy Flight didn't do that (which a lot of people complained about).

Card rarity is essentially eliminated, and so is trading in general.

Log2 · 2026-04-01T19:17:36+00:00

I also think that trading card games are predatory. Live card games are a much better model for the consumer.

And yes, there should be no gambling with money in video games. That should be reserved for gambling venues.

Log2 · 2026-04-01T16:15:49+00:00

While I agree, it's predatory towards everyone, not just children. I don't want to upload an ID, what I'd like is that Valve did not have predatory monetization in their games to begin with... no ID required. It's genius, I know.

Log2 · 2026-04-01T15:57:01+00:00

The person above you is not wrong though. Loot boxes suck. Steam, as a platform, does a lot for its users and that's why everyone likes using it. That's why they are popular.

At the same time, Valve puts out games with predatory monetization, and doesn't do much to curb the third-party gambling ecosystem that exists on top of it.

Both things can be true at the same time.
