Was it the "Hyperreal Simulacrum" from the joe rogan takedown videos you linked in last weeks stubsack?

i like how the "summary" just crammed everything together in one big sentence.

Saw this in an anthropic presentation:

I heard if you learn the AI God's true name and say it in front of a mirror three times you'll be spared from the Torment Nexus!

Missed opportunity for "It's a cruel, cruel summer."

This is all about the surveillance state isn't it?

Very similar situation to mine, but i went into electronics engineering instead of CS because i didn't think i would like to write software for a living. I now write software for a living, go figure.

Also agreed on the "doing it" thing. I hear people around the office talk about letting AI write things for them and i'm like no, i want to write it myself. i like doing things.

ugh, why would i want a summary of a pull request? the whole point of reviewing a pull request is checking the details to make sure it's not missing something important or doing something wrong.

late, but reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB1X4o-MV6o

Ignoring the lack of direction following, everything looks so plastic. Probably video game cutscene training showing through.

From the perspective of the company I work for (not a tech company, but has a pretty large development center) they truly believe that AI will 10x productivity. Not so much the FOOM stuff. Just typical Capitalism.

They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job. I’m not interested in managing. I’m certainly not interested in managing this bizarre polite lying daydream machine.

This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven't signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.
