Work or “work”? I ask because my company also heavily encourages AI use, so I slap together a prompt and walk away from the machine while it defecates. A lot of it is garbage, but I don’t spend much time doing manual refinement because they clearly can’t distinguish quality if they’re demanding slop. I adjust the output only enough to pass the requirements.

Apple was overpricing RAM before it was cool.

If he keeps this up, he may have to learn to work without his head like an aristocrat.

A cop is a cop after all, and we all know what all cops are.

They make such great use of our tax dollars.

I hope their plans blow up in their faces.

For me it’s more like I feel that the money could’ve been used better elsewhere. There is also the nagging feeling that I overpaid for something and I end up checking the price for a while after buying the item to see if it gets cheaper. This only gets more maddening with algorithmic pricing.

The urge to save up is definitely strong and it isn’t helped by all sorts of people screaming about how we all need to save for retirement and being responsible with money which is contradicted by the economy depending on spending. If everyone was a big saver, then those companies wouldn’t be reporting high profits and these already unjustifiably high valuations would be even less justifiable.

Money should be a means to an end, not an end itself. I save because I value early retirement highly, but I still spend money on other things to enjoy myself while I’m still young. Constrained spending helps you figure out what is most important to you, but overdoing it drains the enjoyment that would otherwise be there.

Is davos a gathering of villains hell-bent on making the world a worse place?

You’ll find that representative democracy is not all that representative.

and I want him to stop calling slop “AI”.

I would not describe the state of the UK as a “soft landing”.

Not melt like ice?

Historically humans lived in more connected communities instead of this highly individualized society.

I’m a professional developer, and currently by volume I’m confident latest models, Claude 4.5 Opus, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, are able to write better, cleaner code than me.

I have also used the latest models and found that I’ve had to make extensive changes to clean up the mess it produces, even when it functions correctly it’s often inefficient, poorly laid out, and is inconsistent and sloppy in style. Am I just bad at prompting it or is your code just that terrible?

Apps then need to constantly reflow their layouts, resize content, adjust snapping behavior, and handle edge cases across different screen sizes, DPI settings, and multi-monitor setups. Also, this reflow logic has to work perfectly for legacy Win32 apps, modern UWP apps, and everything in between.

You mean the apps that were already handling this for decades when windows wasn’t a vibe-coded and ad-infested vehicle for AI slop?

Lots of the time when people bash a fruit it’s because they haven’t had a good one. I will say that most honeydews I’ve had were plain, but a good honeydew tastes great!

@grok is what I’m about to do illegal?

I believe whoever came up with that requirement could already be replaced by AI.

It’s all to make you feel desperate and worthless. It’s also the real reason behind the screaming about the birth rate, because they need a large supply of labor to pretend that they could always find someone else to do hard work for long hours and low pay.
