Webstir··on Ask HN: Etiquette giving feedback on mostly AI-generated PRs from co-workers
Here's a take: Consider a new job that doesn't involve (A)uto(I)nfantillization. You're destroying humanity.
Webstir··on Show HN: I built alwayswith.us to easily add deceased loved ones into photos
Nailed it. Been so long since I saw that movie. Blast from the past. Seriously made me crack up :)
Webstir··on Satellite megaconstellations will threaten space-based astronomy
And, you know, this little thing called the Kessler effect. Which, I’m kinda rooting for because it’d crash capitalism overnight and give us a chance to build something new.

This is &^%$@ up dude. The dead will be coming for you. And the dead hate vibe* coding.

Webstir··on Tell HN: Happy LLM Day
Please elaborate?
Webstir··on Tell HN: Happy LLM Day
I’m looking for work and can’t feed my family.

I think the next three years will bring more people out of work and looking for food to feed their families.

I think in the next three years it will bring greater concentration of wealth to the elite, together with greater surveillance capabilities for the rest of us.

I think it will squander untold natural resources and continue exacerbating climate change for, at best, marginal returns.

Yeah, happy day.

Webstir··on A.I. Is on Its Way to Something More Remarkable Than Intelligence
I'd agree. Throwing the world into an economic spiral after the bubble bursts will certainly be more remarkable than intelligence. The stupidity is simply astounding.
Webstir··on AI Slop–How Every Media Revolution Breeds Rubbish and Art
False equivalence alert. Every media revolution isn't burning through power and water like they exist in limitless supply.
Webstir··on Wall Street Experts Tested GPT-5 and Claude. Both Struggled – Even with Excel
It's the bezzle, stupid.

Webstir··on Former science editor at The Economist, refutes the climate crisis"
Yes yes. And look up ... the sky is yellow and sun is blue.
Webstir··on Can't get AI to accurately analyze a spreadsheet – help needed
I didn't need to. I wanted to, for two reasons. 1. Marketing is a pox on civilization. 2. AI is a pox on civilization.
Webstir··on Show HN: Xtwitt.com – X/Twitter Video Downloader
Love this as a fediverse only social media user. Ripping from Elon makes me smile.

If you're on Xitter, you're a douche.

Webstir··on Google Took Everything Back
As Yves Smith said on Naked Capitalism many, many, years ago now: "If your business relies on someone else's platform, it's not your business -- it's theirs.

I'm sorry to hear word of your demise.

"when pathological adipose tissue loss occurs, patients may lose their facial symmetry to a serious degree within a short time. Common sites of adipose tissue loss are the cheeks, temples, and pre-auricular region."

I think we have a winner here.

Webstir··on Giant, flightless bird is next target for de-extinction company
Great. We can't manage to hang on to the species we have, but sure, let's dredge up species from the past that went extinct naturally for the lulz.
Webstir··on Ask HN: To what extend have you stopped or limited your use of AI?
Oh, my mistake. Lying is fine as long as other people are doing it.

Good logic.

Webstir··on The US-UK Special Relationship Is Officially Dead
Yes, yes ... the old "everything is cyclical" rationalization. Climate change? Cyclical. Gun violence? Cyclical. Wealth inequality? Cyclical. Pandemic responses? Cyclical. Social program funding? Cyclical. International relations? Cyclical.

Intellectually lazy keyboard warriors? Set in stone.

Webstir··on Ask HN: To what extend have you stopped or limited your use of AI?
Not at all. I'm an attorney. Fast law is bad law. If you're using LLMs (stop calling it AI ffs -- only morons parrot the marketing hype) to do law, you're just asking toget slapped sooner or later. Like the moron that is My Pillow Mike Lindell's lawyer. See here: https://ia801706.us.archive.org/34/items/gov.uscourts.cod.21...
Webstir··on Ask HN: To what extend have you stopped or limited your use of AI?
Extent. The word you're looking for is extent. Sorry. Word nerd.

Webstir··on If macOS is so easy to use, why do I hate using it so much?
Maybe because all you do is stare at a screen all day. I'm pretty sure I'd hate every OS if my life consisted of nothing but a screen and a keyboard.

Tune in. Turn on. Drop out. You'll soon realize your life to this point, has been a pointless waste.

Webstir··on Ask HN: What are some life principles/theories/frameworks/hacks you live by?

Webstir··on 'Profit-Enhancing Middlemen' Fuel $200B Health-Care Chaos
Love how people try to rationalize these vultures. The elite and their PMC toadies are just corrupt. That’s it. The united states is corrupt to it’s core because we allowed the elite to run things.
Webstir··on OpenAI considers DeepSeek "state-controlled"
Wow. More bullshit from Altman. He’s barely a TechBro propagandist than he is tech bro.

Getting his ass kicked and he tries to use state sponsored monopoly to save his ass.

Fucking pussy billionaires. They are all the most worthless garbage. A moral stain on our country.
