  • Not applicable here. People are just utterly oblivious to how hard the avg dev is actually vibe coding unknowingly or uncaringly by just tab accepting autocomplete over and over.

    I work in the industry and I proctor interviews, and see it first hand constantly.

    I have many funny stories about obviously out-of-their-depth devs who just spam accepted the AI autocomplete results and went way off the rails mud interview, abd then twisted themself into a pretzel trying to to justify it.

    Id laugh if it wasnt an exhausting waste of an hour of my life everytime it happens.

    And it happens a lot.

    So yes, its fuckin AI generated, and yes, devs are using it immensely more than ppl realize, and yes, a huge amount of those devs dont even know its AI



  • Prism is neither near nor far sighted issues.

    Prism is a muscle problem, where the actual muscles of your eyes get weaker because you arent using them as often to focus on objects far away, so they lose flexibility.

    Akin to how if you sit in a chair all day and arent actively stretching purposefully, you lose flexibility in the rest of your body too.

    As far as I know, focusing on objects has no impact on eye shape changes, its just genetic on which way your eyes start to squish/stretch as you get older. Thats just a byproduct of the fact our face and tissues change as we get older.


  • We would have never said “my search query was ai generated”

    It sorta sounds like you just have no clue how things work.

    Search Engines use whats called semantic search on a vector database to find string values that start with what you typed, for suggesting their autocomplete options as you type.

    Zero AI is involved in that process.

    You just sound completely naive to how any of this stuff works, have you ever built any kind if search autocomplete systems for a website? Its fairly well established how you do it, postgres straight up has a built in way to handle it smoothly.

    I think you are just speaking exceedingly out of your depth here.

    No, helping me type a variable name is in no way comparable to barfing out an entire function that does something complex.

    It literally is exactly the same thing, its the exact same api endpoint getting invoked, its sending your tokens, and its AI generating an autocomplete for you to suggest what you type next.

    Its the literal exact same backend, its just generating the suggestions in smaller bite sized chunks.

    You’ve now repeatedly outed yourself as not having a single clue how stuff works. You are either a very junior dev still, or just straight up a hobbyist amateur.

    Either way, you are speaking deeply out of depth on where your knowledge is. You are making a fool of yourself and you are digging the hole deeper and deeper with every post.

    Just take the L dawg and bow out, you dont know what you are talking about.


  • The “dont sit close to the TV,” thing is objectively truth and is even worse today.

    I used screens a lot growing up, including a laptop and various portable games like the Gameboy and PSP

    This led to my eyes slowly developing the need for prism on my lenses, because they over-correct now focusing on close objects.

    Nowadays smart phones are this problem but way worse too, if you sit in the dark holding it way too close, especially with glasses on, you are slowly deteriorating your eye muscles.

    Unless you exercise them of course, every 20-30min. But most people dont do that.

    I now am having to do constant daily exercises to slowly undo my prism, a year and a half ago I had a prism of 5.0 on each eye, this month I finally got it down to 2.5, which is solid progress!

    However VR doesnt have this issue, its a virtual image that appears to be 2 to 10 or more meters away, so your eyes are focusing like looking at something far away.


  • It is 100% accurate, it sounds like you just are completely unaware of the fact the autocomplete on a bunch of popular IDEs for the past couple years is AI gen backed.

    It literally sends your code as tokens to their server and prompts an LLM to FITM generate code, then sends that back to your IDE which then prompts you with it as a tab complete.

    Its been like that for easily 2 years now.

    People have such a little clue about this, they are constantly shocked to find it out.



  • ai assistance isn’t opt out dipshit, my keyboard doesn’t ask the AI before sending letters to my screen which is literally all that happens when I code.

    If you use any of the popular mainstream IDEs, and have ever accepted a tab autocomplete, you actually have precisely done that.

    If you use neovim or etc though then fair enough. Also props for using the best IDE :p

    But if you VS code and have ever accepted a tab autocomplete… yes you were using AI friend lol



  • AI slop is primarily the product of a bunch of amateurs who are fucking around.

    No one cares if you ban that, go ahead.

    The majority of actual valuable and useful output of AI is shit you will never even care about or interact with in your say to day life.

    Basically any video game debeloped in the past couple years is riddled with AI generated code.

    Even the devs who made it are likely unaware of this.

    At my job I proctor interviews for devs and an enormous amount of devs have zero clue the built in autocomplete in VS Code, for example, is AI.

    I tell them this and theyre shocked, “Ive been using AI this whole time?!” Yeah dawg lol…

    I gaurentee you the average “real” game on steam with actual downloads and people playing it, has big chunks of its code AI generated.

    The most popular IDE for the unity game engine and godot engine are both vs code.

    Which means countless devs are out there, right now tab sutocomplete accepting mountains of AI generated code into their games.

    They dont know its AI.

    Their managers dont know its AI

    The people buying their games dont know its AI.

    No one even knows or cares.

    *That is the reality, and has been for a long while now too.

    So yeah… get used to it lol

    In the latest episode we get to see the outright answer for this for Cain / Kinger

    As you can see, the circus (managed by Cain the AI) uses an oldschool Windows OS, looks to be 98?

    Kinger then uses CMD to ssh into some bash shell, I dunno if we get much view of what kind of OS it is, but it appears to be possibly a systemd flavor?

    We also get to see that the circus was programmed in Lisp in the latest 90s, which sounds about right

    Based on what we know about the laws of how the circus works, these indicate a manifestation of how these 2 characters mentally work with OSes.

    Cain works in windows 98.

    Kinger on the other hand visualizes stuff with linux!



  • My wife is a teacher, she has shown me vibed handed in assignments abd its incredibly obvious.

    Right off the bat, if she gives an assignment to make, say, a slideshow on “Topic” and they talk about a examples A, B, and C in class, and the assignment goes off on tangents about topics F, G, and H instead, it’s an instant red flag.

    This happens cuz the student just copy paste the assignment blurb into gpt, but gpt has no context for what was discussed in class… so it goes off the rails instantly.

    Its also easy to include poison pills in the middle of an assignment if they copy paste it straight into gpt.

    Also theres all the usual markers. Emoji, em dash, and the assignment having way higher verbosity than you know damn well the kid has the vocabulary for. Suddenly they’re speaking at a grade 7~8 levels higher than usual? Uh huh. .

    From her and her teacher friends, Ive been told its extremely obvious to spot still. And its pretty trivial to setup the assignment to poison pill the AI.
