The most human-like AI agent you'll ever use. It insists on manners, gets distracted mid-task, sometimes gives up entirely, occasionally claims it did something when it didn't, ignores it...
What I've learned building an agent for Renovate config (as a cautious skeptic of AI) (11 mins read).

As an opportunity to "kick the tyres" of what agents are and how they work, I set aside a couple of hours to see build one - and it blew me away.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
Almost every time I share a new example of an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle a variant of this question pops up: how do you know the labs …

Worries about Open Source in the age of LLMs (6 mins read).
Some concerns I have with moving towards "don't use Open Source, get an LLM to generate the code you want" and where it'll take us.
Like it or not this technology is here to stay and if you don’t use it you’ll fall behind in your industry
My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.
Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …
They're like riding a bike: easy, and you don't get it until you try.

It seems so rude and careless to make me, a person with thoughts, ideas, humor, contradictions and life experience to read something spit out by the equivale...

AI-powered dialogue generation for Animal Crossing villagers using LLMs - vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod
How I replaced Animal Crossing's dialogue with a live LLM by bridging GameCube memory to a cloud AI, with no game code changes required.
Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit by book authors who say the company took pirated copies of their works to train its chatbot.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?
This is fascinating: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/s/I7Qbvo3I95 Someone “worked on a book with ChatGPT” for weeks and then sought help on Reddit when they couldn’t download the file. Redditors helped them realized ChatGPT had just been roleplaying/lying and there was no file/book…
this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

dipshits in 2019: you people are NPCs, you don't even think for yourselves dipshits in 2025: I have outsourced my thinking to Clippy
Signed my first consulting/advising contract today that had a provision against using AI tools unless specifically approved. Concerns were around IP. Either the IP created isn't owned by company or that confidential info is sent to a service. It's interesting to see this play out.
I've seen a lot of complaints about how MCP isn't ready for the enterprise. I agree, although maybe not for the reasons you think. But don't worry, this isn't just a rant! I believe we can fix it! The …
Y'all be slacking. Where's the AI parody song to the tune of "Because I Got High"? Here I'll help you start. Builds are failing today, because of AI I deployed it anyway, because of AI Production just went down, and I know why (why man?) 'Cause of AI Because of AI Because of AI

Stop making those little AI image generator memes of yourself as a Barbie or a Ghibli character you are enriching evil companies and destroying the planet and this is like one of the easiest things you can just not do
Please, make it stop.
i cant believe ChatGPT lost its job to AI
If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.
A lot of you will be getting items with those little silica gel packets in tomorrow, and of course it goes without saying because it’s pretty obvious, but I’ll say it anyway - the absolute best place to get recipes for dishes where you can use those is Google Gemini
So now I am being expected to tell these greedy AI fucks that they are NOT allowed to steal my stuff to build their own business? What the actual fuck is going on?!? I should not have to chase down each of these grifters and tell them it’s ok. Are all you people who enthusiastically use these tools okay with my work being taken without my permission? Fuck you if you do and stop following me.
Every time you use #ChatGPT, half a litre of #water goes to waste #GenerativeAI already uses as much energy as a small country and is predicted to rival that of Japan within a year. Such searches use 10 times the energy of a normal web search. “We’re wasting a lot of water with these systems, and very few people realise that it’s a major problem. That’s why I think personally the No.1 priority for the sector should be #sustainability. Not the #AI race.” https://www.smh.com.au/technology/every-time-you-use-chatgpt-half-a-cup-of-water-goes-to-waste-20241128-p5kubq.html

Doing #AdventOfCode in a language I used to know well enough to dream in but haven’t used for years, with Copliot enabled, is quite the experience. Like trying to do something with half a dozen incredibly smart and helpful 9 year olds … I think I know what’s happening, everyone is brilliant, but some of these brilliant and helpful things are totally the wrong thing so I’ve really got to pay attention!!
