Same with eggdrop.

Speaking of; why the names?


after 30 years you say this? this cannot be serious.

> That’s not a software guy who happened to raise some money. That’s someone whose stated specialty is the PE integration and exit process.

Holy smokes has that's not just -> THAT IS become one of my trigger words.


It's almost certainly ai written though. All the regular tells are there... Though he likely edited some out, like that "just"

Also if it was handwritten, it'd have been a third in length, the rest was LLM fluff


Correct, that was my point


I see, i actually like these tells. It let's us easily distinguish garbage from someones thoughts.

And you can also see how brainrotten someone's gotten when they start accidentally sneaking in these tells into their normal communication.

As a matter of fact, after a full workday in which I'm essentially forced to read LLM garbage for 9h a day... I sadly notice myself adding the same fluff pointlessness to how I express myself. like I caught a viral contagion that's actively siphoning my humanity away.

And expectedly, when coming back to those opinions with a less infected mindset, I frequently have to reevaluate these thoughts later on


Do we need to keep pointing this out though? LLMs are not going anywhere any time soon and people will keep using them to generate articles.

If the content is also nonsense then that's worth talking about, but otherwise comments about LLM style are about as interesting as remarks about typos.


Yes we do, continue keeping it a faux pas to reduce the over verbose LLM speak put elsewhere and ask people to just share the original prompt and save us all time. Label your LLM usage to respect other people's time.


I guess for me, blatant LLM style reminds me of LinkedIn-speak. Both are distracting and come across as fake. Somehow it's more interesting to read something in another human's unique style than to read something that's obviously been passed through a filter.



Later in the article:

> The act is not limited to companies based in the United States.


Not sure if ghostty is the best example https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-memory-leak-fix


Curious how this thread would have been if Firefox did that.


same or worst since at least people put Firefox in a pedestal, but they didn't, they actually pushed to stop this


Why do we need that?

Art should demand more of the creator than the person experiencing it.

The alternative is 9 billion who cares slop things.


Not everything is abstract art. Sometimes I want my subsurf modifier to only target certain vertex groups, and if I can use AI to make that happen in a few seconds, that's a huge win for me.


Blender (and CAD programs as well) get in the way of creativity.

I know what I want, no idea how to tool my way there.

I spend two months going through YT tutorials, mucking about in Blender in order to figure out how to put together the model I have in my head [1].

(A year later, a new project idea—and it's back to YouTube because the learning is not only a steep curve but also sometimes so esoteric that it's fleeting.)

It would take you as long or longer to draw with a pen too. Art is hard in general.


Curious why you think that? Stuff like

> Yes, there is a relative scale level...

> Yes, having the smartest model will...

> yes Chinese AI companies have ...

yes yes yes, I didn't say anything, why write in a way that insinuates that I was thinking that?

I mean it doesn't come off as AI slop, so that's yay in 2026. But why do you think it is so good?


haha it is poorly written, its one of my pieces with the fewest drafts, i just wrote it and clicked submit to get the thoughts out of my head.

I think he is referring to the art of refining an idea though, which I do have something to say on his comment.


This comment was wildly invalid even years ago.

See proton, heroic launcher, etc, etc.

Cyberpunks own benchmarking suite runs 30% faster (for whatever reason; my wintendo install is stock and nothing but nvidia drivers) on the ntfs windows partition on Arch.


Oh the billion bollar vc backed pre ipo companys story was this? Omg and they somehow are not delivering up to your standards? Damn they better get their act together lest people like you will whine on twitter about them losing their way
