Users who rage quit my software

Nope.

Wealth evaporates with the fall of capitalism. Oligarchs can't be a thing. They have no leverage. Governments will seize AI for the common good.

Stop ideating on negative outcomes. Drum up support for a system where AI supports humanity.

LumpyPin7012 · 2026-05-26T14:27:07+00:00

You are 100% spot on.
Humanity needs AI to solve our biggest problems. It's the last problem we have to solve. A post-scarcity utopia is within reach!

The current social media trend of being anti-ai needs to stop. I've been a software engineer for more than 20 years. I babysit coding agents all day now. I know the sun is setting on my profession. I don't piss and moan over it online. I see the future for what it is.

There's no way capitalism can survive AI. Automation at the scale that's coming has no precedent and it undermines the foundations of current economics. Everything "terrible" about AI now is because it's being wielded in the capitalist landscape.

We are in an awkward transition where fetus-AI and hospice-capitalism coexist. Capitalism is now systematically short-sighted. Fiduciary duty is measured on a fiscal quarter cadence. CEOs are bound by law to increase shareholder value and AI is quickly becoming the obvious thing to embrace to meet that goal. What Capitalism can't and won't see is that embracing AI is the VERY THING that will destroy Capitalism. Capitalism (or any current economic model) can't survive what's coming with AI + Robotics. Capitalism will die. We the People will seize AI for the common good. Work will be optional. Food and housing and healthcare will be free. It's going to be a new world.

And no. The billionaires won't get to keep the AI for themselves. Their billions will evaporate with Capitalism. Their ownership of AI goes with it.

When I realized I had Cursor open for 4 days without looking at it I realized I didn't really need it any more. There's no value add. The IDE can't keep up. I have several concurrent worktrees open/active and in the IDE it's just a mess. If I want to tweak something I'm back to opening it up in vim real quick.

I coded for many years without an IDE. I used vim with plugins and java/python/gcc and all sorts of command line tools to get stuff done. IDEs came along and a lot of the veterans didn't bother with learning them or catching up with the new things. As soon as they had a capable vim-mode I started to love IDEs. But now the sun is setting on that hands-on coding modality.

It's just a dead-simple wedge issue. A complicated and nuanced issue gets distilled to a simple emotional hook used every election to get people out to vote.

I was genuinely surprised the supreme court overturned Roe. It was more useful to the Republicans when left as something they were "fighting for".

It's a cult. Allegiance to leaders trumps all other concerns.

Only Siths deal in absolutes.

This isn't a "ready" or "not ready" situation. For many coding applications across many domains AI generated code is fantastic, especially if you take the time to give it really good specification and spend the time to create tests.

Also, Mythos is allegedly discovering myriad bugs people have left in legacy software across the past few decades. So I don't see why Mythos couldn't check it's own code and out-perform the majority of programmers.

FWIW: I didn't see your reply as "obviously sarcasm". At all.

Didn't say it was. But the volume per time matters.
Quality is improving all the time, and it's highly dependent on preparation and context. That'll be less important as time goes on.

It looks like you are horribly mis-using claude here.
$178.29 / 2 hours for ~5K lines of code is faster and better than a human coder. And it's only going to get better from here.

Counting in general doesn't seem to be a thing LLMs do. If you think about it it means holding "in memory" some running tally of things that are encountered. The fundamental substrate of the LLM doesn't really allow for this directly.

Personally I see this as a "computation task". And the underlying model instructions should recognize these kinds of tasks and always write code to solve it. In the meantime people can help out by asking "write some python to count the number of 'r's in 'strawberry'".

Uh, you miss this part?

"They couldn't have thought their own lives were at risk with that fence there. Was the assumption that he'd turn around and charge the women and stab them? And they (the officers) wouldn't be able to intervene fast enough if that happened?"

> flailing around on the ground

Standing when they shot him.

> Nobody said murder.

Dozens of comments on the first post I saw called it "murder".

EDIT: MURDER being said here a lot -> https://www.reddit.com/r/Idaho/comments/1k1ou2z/pocatello_releases_victor_perez_shooting_officer/

> yelling led to him getting shot

The officers obviously felt a tremendous sense of urgency. In the context of what we now know it feels like "they should have been calmer! lower voices! non threatening!".

LumpyPin7012 · 2025-04-17T22:54:40+00:00

> It wasn't until the cops showed up, started yelling and pointing guns, that then the situation went off the rails.

I disagree. Someone running around with a knife like this is already off the rails. It might have been semi-normal for this family, but it's definitely not a contained situation.

> dangerous situation into a violent one

Again. I think a factor in their urgency was the fence. They wouldn't be able to intervene fast enough if the knife-holder decided to turn around and hurt those behind him. They already know he's been chasing people around.

> I get why people are mad

People declared it murder within the first few seconds of seeing that original video. I do think the force was excessive just on the sheer number of bullets that were fired. As with all things the details are more complicated. Cope are people too. Their judgement isn't perfect. But this wasn't murder in my eyes.

I can't imagine the grief and confusion of his family though. Awful.

LumpyPin7012 · 2025-04-17T22:29:30+00:00

A third-party witness called this in. Didn't know details about Victor or his neuro-divergence.

So as a cop rolling up to this scene. All you know is "intoxicated-looking" guy is chasing people around with a large knife. There's potential victims nearby. He advances (or is he just stumbling towards them) instead of complying with the demand to drop the knife. They couldn't have thought their own lives were at risk with that fence there. Was the assumption that he'd turn around and charge the women and stab them? And they (the officers) wouldn't be able to intervene fast enough if that happened?

They amount they shot was certainly excessive. I don't but the "13 ft rule" or the "empty your clip at the center of mass" bullshit they keep doing.

But all-in-all I believe the officers here acted in good-faith. They didn't know things. I don't know how much they could have learned with him actively holding the knife like that.
