> People generalizing about how bad LLMs are at coding are often doing it out of a very unusual perspective (like J Blow) or doing it out of bad faith.

Thats why the only study up to date on developer productivity with AI shows 19% reduction of productivity and the most up to date study on LLM usage in the enterprise show that 95% of projects with LLMs fail.

I'd say its bad faith to claim LLMs are useful considering all studies so far show the opposite.

Ah, another weekly AI booster article from the AI booster gang.

Hate to break it to you, but if GPT-5 is better AI researcher than you, you were probably not that good to begin with.

Does Codex tell you why 95% of AI projects in the enterprise fail? Or why the only study up to date on merits of AI for coding shows 19% decrease of productivity.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power"

Is a quote often wrongly attributed to Mr. Fascism Benito Mussolini himself, but whoever said it had made a damn good point. Be aware that what you are seeing now fits the exact and precise definition of fascism.

It's amusing seeing the US descend so quickly in pure unadulterated fascism and the amount of denial and attempts to sugar coat it or window dress in places like HN. Then forums like this will go dark, and next thing you know, the brownshirts from the modern Gestapo/Stasi/ICE would be knocking on your door.

Make no mistake about Google and Apple: moderating anti fascist apps or content is abetting fascism (that applies to HN mods as well).

You are basically saying that regardless of criticisms and international condemnation, Israel has no choice but commit war crimes and genocide? This is like "look what you made me do" defence in court, not sure it will save genocider Netanyahu from rotting in the Hague jail.

Nor would it stop us from boycotting Israel and calling out their genocide.

There is also a great article about the same subject from Tom Renner: https://tomrenner.com/posts/llm-inevitabilism/

Sam, Elon, Zuck are conmen, husks of people, empty inside and not knowing what to do with themselves but hoard money. In their pointless quest to become the proverbial dragon on a mountain of gold, they are trying to control, bully and manipulate the world to their vision of how it should be.

We know how this goes:

- Facebook contributed to multiple atrocities and genocides, actively promoted warlords and dictators

- Twitter after being acquired from Musk is just an echo chamber of fascism and white supremacy and misinformation

- Sam...is just..a slimy dude. He made a coup in something that was supposed to be free and open, and made it ugly and about money and profits, riding on the work of idealists and forgetting all his pledges and manifestos just in the pursuit of money

Those people rising to power and prominence is not inevitable. If only they had childhood validation, I think they might have turned out to be normal people and done less harm to the world. Sadly, they were probably neglected as children or dropped on their head repeatedly. I blame the parents.

OpenAI is cooked.

Absolutely cooked.

After the disaster that was chatGPT4.001, study mode and now this: an impossibly expensive to maintain AI video slop copyright violater, their releases are uninspired and bland, and smelling of desperation.

Making me giddy for their imminent collapse.

I was looking for more reasons not to use the piece of flaming garbage that Next has become since Vercel made it great again. I didn't expect actively supporting + making a selfie with war criminal and genocider Netanyahu would be my extra reason not to use Next, but here we are.

Failing to acknowledge we are in a bigger and more dangerous bubble, again.

If AI was so great, why all curl hackerone submissions have been rejected? Slop is not a substitute of skill.

Why though. Why should we do that?

If AI is so groundbreaking, why do we have to have guides and jump through 3000 hoops just so we can make it work?

My cynical take is that the leadership in these countries has realized that no amount of hiding under the carpet could save them from the culpability of having actively supporting a genocide, so now they are scurrying like cockroaches trying to distance themselves from the genocidal Israeli state.

We should remember that it was those very same governments that happily supplied weapons to Israel and actively blocked resolutions by the UN to recognize and stop the genocide that's been happening in the last two years. We need to hold our "leaders" accountable and not allow them to escape culpability.

Actually studies show that it makes most Seniors weaker: https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-o...

Like 19% weaker, according to the only study to date that measured their productivity.

On HN there was another post about DOJ going against the guy who made the anti-ICE app: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44496458 and it's also flagged, which is a pity.

This book might be relevant for those trying to understand why and how fascists attempt to control the narrative by suppression of the free press, erasure of documents, and nowadays hiding and flagging posts on social media and popular RSS feeds: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207294076-erasing-histor...

I can't wait for the bubble to burst.

Mostly because I hope it will stop the neverending onslaught of articles and blog posts on HN from folks who giddily insist on telling the world how Claude changed their life and how now they can produce bad code 10x faster than before.

Next: the AI bubble is coming to an end. Also fingers crossed that the career and employment of Mark Zuckerberg also follow suit soon.

With AI everyone is a net loser.

People using it get dumber.

What is being produced is slop and discardable poc-like trash

The environmental costs of building and training LLMs are huge. That compute and water could have been useful for something.

Even the companies building and peddling AI are losers. They are not profitable, need constant billions of dollars of financial help to even syay afloat and pay their compute depth.

The worst part is that even bigger losers will be the general population. Not only are our kids gonna be dumber than us thanks to never having to think for themselved, but our pensions are tied to the stock market that will inevitably collapse when the realization that the top 30% of companies in terms of value are just dominoes waiting to collapse.

But the biggest loser of all is Elon Musk. Just because of who he is.

> That Hamas are the enemy in a war. It's a serious problem. Wars are like that.

The 20k children Israel murdered are also Hamas, right? Hitler also thought the same about the Jewish children he murdered during the Holocaust. War crimes are war crimes, genocide is genocide.

> A disgrace that Qatar "hosts" the Hamas leaders, and that the Iranian regime funds the whole lot.

The irony is that wanted war criminal Netanyahu himself can't be "hosted" in the most of the free world, cause there is a warrant for his arrest.

> Meanwhile, my approach is grounded in a singular idea: That Hamas are the enemy in a war. It's a serious problem. Wars are like that.

And my approach is grounded on the singular idea: Israel is doing a genocide and genocide is bad.

> Clearly. A disturbing trend of late.

I am sure many folks tried to debate with the Nazis on the big podium of ideas. It's useless to debate with the folks who did the Holocaust.

It's useless to debate with these guys as well:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/12/israeli-ex-com...

It's clear what Israel stands for, it's clear what they are doing is a genocide. The genocide apologists will just deflect and bicker about whether 11 out of the 12 points that constitute a genocide are enough to actually call it as such. And I am not interested in that.

Universities condemn the genocide: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/13/universities-a...

Even Ursula is worried about her position and wants to distance herself from the genociders from Israel:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/10/ursula-von-der...

Hell, even China, a country famous for human rights violations, is disgusted by Israel and denounced them publicly:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCLkJvsjuqU

The world is, sadly too late, waking up to the genocide that happened just in front of their eyes and is frantically trying to cut off ties with the genocidal Israeli terrorist state. Israel acts like a rabid dog, attacking Quatar, Iran, Palestine, Tunisia, Quatar, Yemen. Terrorist genocider state.

Either way, war criminal Netanyahu has a reserved spot in the Hague and even prominent figures in the US neo-fascist fronts like Charlie Kirk, who was much a white supremacist as he was an Israeli genocide apologist, hasn't posted videos on youtube in defense of Israel as of late.

I know my words sound harsh, but I feel they are necessary to be written. I greet you with an old song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CI3lhyNKfo that is very catchy.

> Laughable role, given no access to the place you claim is a genocide, and that's an active war zone with terrorists running around delaying the inevitable and prolonging the suffering.

It's useless to debate genocide apologists as facts mean nothing to them, so I am not gonna try to debate your obvious lies and twisting of the truth.

Netanyahu will be tried for his war crimes and genocide in the Hague and will rot in prison or will die of old age. History will paint Israel's genocide of Palestinian people the same way the Nazis went down in history for doing the Holocaust.

Here is a video of Israel bombing a hospital and bombing it again when crews and journalists went to help. Nothing more is needed to be said.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cWLFvMcys0

Stop the genocide. Stop genocide apologizing.

Russia can't deal with small Ukraine for 4 years. Their outdated poor tech and drunkard band of villagers called "soldiers" can't defeat a country with 5 times less population. Even with the help of the equally poor and unqualified North Korea and the jihadists of Khadirov, Russia hasn't achieved anything substantial but lose north of a million poor conscripts.

I want to remind you Russia's long distance rockets have largely self destructed on Russian territory even without a liftoff: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/24/europe/russia-sarmat-miss...

A single misstep of the Russian war criminals on EU soil, and they will be obliterated in seconds. It's bonkers to think otherwise.

> Israel isn't committing genocide

Israel is committing genocide though.

> Israel isn't committing genocide except in the minds of pro-palestine activists

Do you think this Israeli PM is a pro-Palestine activist? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMVLt_ncn7E

Stop the genocide. Israel is doing a genocide and there is nothing to be discussed about its finer points until it stops. Stop it and then we can discuss how similar it was to other genocides and how to punish the Israeli heads of state in Hague.

I am not very interested in debating with a genocide apologist the finer points whether bombing hospitals, starving children and ethnically cleansing the Palestinian population has to be approved as genocide by 98% or 99% of experts.

There are people up to this very day who deny the Holocaust happened as well and call it a libel. Hitler was stopped regardless, the same will happen to the genocider Netanyahu. Its "Never again", not "Again, but this time we are doing it to others".

Israel is doing a genocide.

Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal.

Israel is doing a genocide on the Palestinian population.

You can Hamas this, Hamas that, but Netanyahu bombs hospitals, Palestinian children, starves the Palestinian population, and murders journalists. All war crimes, all stuff we have seen with our own eyes thanks to the wonders of technology.

> On 24 October [2023, right after 7th October], Ghazi Hamad—member of the decision-making Hamas Political Bureau—explained the 7 October attack: "Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation".

https://www.dw.com/en/netanyahu-vows-there-will-be-no-palest...

"Netanyahu vows 'there will be no Palestinian state'"

Which is funny, cause there is already a Palestinian state, recognized by 147 of 193 UN countries. Which is similar to Israel: 165 of 193 UN countries. So it seems Netanyahu...is wanting to ...destroy a whole nation...kind of...ethnically cleanse it? Sure sounds like a genocider to me.

Ah, they are annoyed that people are upset about the genocide and keep talking about it. Very interesting. Well, that's their right, of course, annoyed that people are not closing their eyes to blatant human rights violations and genocide. I will keep calling it out for what it is: Israel is a genocider state, until it's stopped.

We see an influx of green accounts like yours created literally hours ago to defend the genocide that Israel is committing and what-about it.

Israel is currently a genocider state. Nazis were a genocider state. It's as simple as that. I am sure there were and still are many nazi-apologists, you are doing the same, but for Israel. Stop the genocide.

We ban Russian athletes because Russia is waging a war on Ukraine and the Russian head of state is a wanted war criminal.

Israel should be double banned then because they are doing a proven genocide on the Palestinian population and their head of state is also a wanted war criminal.

It's like inviting Hitler supporters to a garden party.

> For instance, nobody would ban a US pop star from an international event just because many disagree with the current policies of the US government.

If and while the US conduct a new genocide on a population (their previous one to the native American population is too far in history to judge the current US populace), I hope we don't invite their pop stars to sing for us.

Israel is currently committing a genocide in Palestine. It's like inviting the KKK or Nazi war criminals to board game night. Hard pass on anything including Israel until they stop the genocide and repay Palestine for the unspeakable horrors they inflicted and continue inflicting on them. Russia, another country headed by a war criminal, is also excluded.

Extremely hard disagree. The status page is exactly where you communicate about both the root cause, and the action plan to prevent it.

Every status page incident on every normal company everywhere in the world has links to lead you to the postmortem and their steps to avoid it. Here are a few examples:

https://status.gitlab.com/ -> https://status.gitlab.com/pages/history/5b36dc6502d06804c083...

https://status.hetzner.com/ -> https://status.hetzner.com/incident/2e715748-fddd-427b-a07b-...

https://www.githubstatus.com/ -> https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/mj067hg9slb4

https://bitbucket.status.atlassian.com/ -> https://bitbucket.status.atlassian.com/incidents/4mcg46242wz...

It's literally a standard for your status page to communicate both about root cause and action plan how to prevent it in the future. Sure, when an incident is just happening, the status page entry doesn't have the postmortem and the steps to avoid, but later on those get added.

Being so overconfidently wrong reminds me of an LLM.

Is it a surprise that a vibe coding company has vibe coded operational excellence practices?
