For the tech world, education *is* a chore, you want to get the bare minimum as fast as possible before jumping in and making big bank at a start up, or as an entrepreneur yourself. Everything in the path of wealth or power or validation *through* these things must be discarded.

Ops desperately asking to stop using ai.
The C-suite looks down and whispers "no."

I've done enough of them to be okay at them, but honestly, most interview processes are just rolling the dice on candidates. And that's after selecting against those who "don't fit" 🙃

Not neurotypical? Trans? Yeah, have a -2 debuff. I have a +2 masking stat to balance it out, but yeah...

I've felt this way until I realised that CS is just computer touching but in academia. Of course it doesn't prep you for corpo computer touching, it preps you for academia.

As for interview processes, lmao, where do I start?

Addicts gonna addict. Instead of the uncomfortable realisation their fav tool is killing school children in the Middle East and also burning out OSS devs, nope, it's purity politics to argue against slop.

Just fucking go to therapy already, folks.

Can't mention my cats without tax. Here's one making himself comfy on the pile of fresh clothes I have yet to fold and put away.

Fucking bastard ♥️

Ahhh, feeling a bit of coding burnout rn. Not sure if I have time for games either.

I think I'll go annoy my cats some instead.

"AI" skills are basically just documentation and it says something about how documentation only gets resources and respect if it is framed as "technology". Which has gender bias all over it.

It increases the shareholder value or it gets the hose.

Open source survives on the ability of maintainers to take in and understand contributions.

Slop coded PRs where not even the contributor understands the code are driving all of us nuts.

If you cba to do it yourself, then don't bother slopping it.

It fucking sucks how things are being eroded in this way, but at the very least there *is* an escape hatch.

We just have to be willing to accept friction again to be free of this nonsense. We managed before the internet, we can do so again if we absolutely must. end/

I don't know how to fully solve this, but I think we have to change tack about how we do things and our own expectations around them.

If something is worth doing, then it is worth doing even with friction. What sort of event works better offline than online, etc, now need to be considered. 2/

Perhaps, but then if enough people outright quit using the internet for this, the alternative is a lot more local events.

It's not perfect, tho it does mean those not in population centers get fucked over.

At some point, we gotta think less about pipeline and more community building 1/

Yeah, it kills the whole online aspect of this. The only way to save CTFs is to move offline and be only in-person events.

Which tracks with a lot of other things that are online, but LLMs have encroached on.

I guess you gotta start doing what artists do to avoid being accused of using LLMs.

Stream yourself of doing the challenge, so at least there's a recording to show you have done the work, or doing these in person and not remotely.

Basically, LLMs will kill the internet. Return to IRL.

Had a good night of sleep and my morning coffee... the desire to yak shave is returning...

Why am I like this???

HELP.

"Gentrification of the mind" is perhaps the most succinct description of what's going on, and I both love and hate it.

Holy crap this story knocked me over. It is everything I'm feeling about the machines right now.

What a nightmare. If you can read this and still think autonomous agents like OpenClaw are worth the risk, you're beyond help.

tfw your game is too autistic so the united states government says “no”

Huh, they must have fixed that, because it was working at least a month or two ago.

It should also work if you hide the text via embracethered.com/blog/ascii-s...

The feeling has passed. Only because today, I am too useless to do the yak shaving.

Saved by bad sleep and headache.

A couple of years ago, I made my spicy take of all this being techbros wanting to reinvent slavery.

Seeing others come to the same conclusion is both funny and hopeful. At the very least, folks are catching onto the bullshit.

If it is on Github, it likely already lives on an LLM's training set. Even selfhosted repos get hit with so much crawler traffic that being off GH won't stop your code getting trained on.

I don't think "Machine did it" will absolve folks of adhering to licenses, especially if the LLM was trained on that dataset. It can't "clean-room" implement something because it will draw upon the trained data, which is covered by its license.

AI output already can't be copyrighted already.
