That’s essentially what I’m doing right now, and thus far, they still want workers who understand the code. However, my manager has already said that his boss had it compose a few scripts, and he thought he could therefore replace an entire workflow.

Thankfully, my manager talked him down and pointed out that it still got several nontrivial things wrong and that taking humans out is dangerous when it comes time to push to production.

But it’s concerning to see that the higher ups don’t understand what it is and what its limitations are.

My company is pivoting hard to Claude for everything, and besides the fact that it’s irritating as fuck to use, it has me worried about shenanigans like in this article. For almost 50 years, they’ve had a “no reliance upon 3rd party platforms for core functions,” but since they hired an AI apologist to the C-suite, all that has gone out the window in a matter of months.

Got me thinking I should warm up my resume…

Because there’s alternatives. You don’t have to use the subway if it breaks down, and people have enough brains to take a taxi or walk instead.

This is 60 people going, “Fuck, the subway is down. Guess I can’t travel anywhere, now.”

Stop spreading doom and gloom before the fight has even begun. That would be a good start.

Meshtastic does not have the bandwidth to replace the internet. It handles message just fine, but the amount of data you’d need to send for even a quarter of what the current internet can provide would feel like trying to surf the modern internet on a 56k modem.

Cool, so I guess you’re just okay with an authoritarian State. Just gonna roll over at the first opportunity?

Or bribery. Though with this administration, probably both.

Eww, Reddit. No thanks. However, [email protected] exists!

Who, for anyone unaware, is mostly safe at this time.

She was visited by government goons and basically had her entire activism and tech business confiscated, and she said that anyone who wants to support her should purchase the tourist tech-buying guide she’s produced over the years. She also said that any further content on her YouTube should be considered suspect, as she’s not going to be making more videos for the foreseeable future.

ETA: she has also said that she has the ability to leave China, but because her partner can’t, she’s opted to stay, because she’s also a cool human being.

Omfg, don’t talk to Meta’s chatbot. Period. Don’t use Facebook.

I can’t believe it’s 2026, and people still think Meta somehow has any neutrality—after it’s been demonstrated time and again that they aren’t just accidentally bad, they’re actively malicious.

This is what happens when you hire a bunch of cryptobro script kiddies who think they know better than the industry standards.
