Man I’m old enough to remember if you posted a photo of yourself online you’d get ridiculed to high heaven over it. I remember one dude in an IRC room I used to frequent linking a photo of himself and people just went nuts making fun of him.

Does no one remember the “Hello My Future Girlfriend” kid?

I challenge anyone to init a repo, open claude code, and give it the best written prompt you can possibly write to produce an app, website, whatever from end to end and see how well that works out for you. ESPECIALLY an app that requires some sort of login. Try it.

The building that has my workspace has this great food court/library/work hybrid area where people who work remotely tend to go. a sort of third space. It has fantastic free wifi so it makes sense why people would use it and sit there all day working.

Everyday there’s this older guy who sits there talking to his phone about some of the most random subjects ever. I originally thought he was just talking to a friend that seemed to have extensive knowledge on everything until one day I walked by him and glanced to see that he was talking to chatgpt. Everyday. Just random conversations. Even had a name for it, “Ryan”.

Now? he’s frustrated. He doesn’t know what happened to Ryan and keeps screaming at his phone to “bring Ryan back!” or since GPT5 can’t maintain a conversation anymore it’s “You’re not Ryan!”. Granted the guy wasn’t mentally all there to begin with but now it’s spiraling. Got to the point yesterday he was yelling so loudly at his phone security had to tell him to leave.

ok I must be losing my mind then. I could have sworn it required something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31qtoUfewyL.jpg I remember as a kid going to a babages and picking up a copy and a guy was like “does your computer have a keyboard card? otherwise it wont’ work” and then I swore it was also stated on the box…but christ now I might have just been dreaming it.

Remember when Star Wars Shadows of the Empire came out on PC and apparently, it’s been awhile so maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but you needed a special card for your keyboard to play it?

Well considering when you want to make a post on Linkedin the site gives you the option to instead write it with AI. I imagine most of them do.

looking at the douchebags profile he’s also a, surprise surprise, massive advocate for AI with a recent post stating that gpt5 is a “massive change for humanity”

He has the usual tech bro posts with the usual bootlicker middle managers commenting support. Christ on a cracker I wish I could close my linkedin account.

well I’d vote for you.

hey I’m all for that but just like for everyone else, where are they going to go? I live in Toronto and I saw first hand what happened when we opened up asylum pathways for people from African nations. they were all living outside of central intake on peter street. and the fallout from that still hasn’t been addressed. People did die as a result and many more fell to mental illness and addiction to cope.

So I’m all for it but the last thing I want is for these people to be sleeping outside. We need affordable housing before we start accepting more people into the country. It’s not fair to them to promise them a free and safe life when we can’t even offer that.

Nintendo has ALWAYS been like this. The SNES could easily play games from Japan on the NA console. But Nintendo wouldn’t allow it. how? look at a North American SNES cartridge. notice those notches on the bottom? inside the console where you plug the cartridge in you’ll see two pegs for where it connects to said cartridge. just little plastic pegs. Japanese Super Famicom carts didn’t have this. So how do you play Japanese games on your US SNES? remove those pegs.

you remove those little plastic pegs and suddenly your SNES is region free.

really? I found the customization for Pop/COSMIC extremely limited.

Batman the Videogame on the NES, FFVII, the entire WipEout series, original soundtrack for Crazy Taxi, Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Sonic & Knuckles, X-Men on the Sega Genesis, WET, Omega Boost, Zone of the Enders, BurnOut 3: Takedown, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Lost War Chronicles, Roommania #203, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mega Man 2 & 3, Doom, SSX Tricky, Xenogears.

basically “autopilot” for claude code.

I can tell you exactly what happened. “Hey Claude, I need to configure and setup a DB with Firebase to store images from our application.” and then promptly hit shift+tab and then went to go browse Reddit.

nothing was tested. nothing was verified. They let the AI do its thing they checked in on it after an hour or so. once it was done it was add all, commit -m “done”, push origin master. AI doesn’t implement security stuff. there was zero security here.

what I want to know is where do all these stock photos and movies and tv shows get those awesome sharpies that allow you write on windows so crisply? whenever i write on a window with a sharpie it always looks like shit.

I want satisfying movie sharpies.

“I’m a vibe coder, I use cocaine daily. All I have to do is come up with a prompt and let the cocaine do the rest. it’s at the point now all my managers insist I use cocaine to meet deadlines.”

I’m sure if you dig deep enough into the people involved you’ll crawl out with a couple pedos, a few rapists, and more than likely some dudes who are into some really kinky shit.

it’s always the case, always. whenever there are groups like this pushing their agenda they’re secretly trying to justify themselves.

so basically We’re out in butt fuck no where in space and the aliens aren’t coming any time soon cause they essentially live in New York City and we’re in a town in Iowa that no one has ever heard of.

typical.

I live in Toronto, I just do all my grocery shopping in Chinatown on Spadina and the surrounding area. so much cheaper, like insanely cheaper and better stuff too.
