save some boot for the rest of us
jordemort··on I Have a Confession: I Built This Site with AI – Please Forgive Me
"Oh I would really like to take a principled stand, but it's just too hard to, I know what I'm doing is wrong and I hope someone takes away my option to do this one day."

Ugh. Either grow a spine and stick to your purported principles, or grow a spine and stand by your actions. Either way, grow a spine.

jordemort··on Microsoft killed FoxPro in 2007. Anyway, here's FoxPro revived

This is unfair to drug users and perverts

Yeah I’d be interested at about a third of the asking price

It’s hard to beat LilyGo’s lineup in this area

jordemort··on Amazon will stop accepting new customers for Mechanical Turk
I turked for a bit trying to make some extra cash leading up to my wedding, but it was a very time-inefficient way to make money. I think I managed to wring 10 or 20 bucks out of it tops after plugging at it for a month.
jordemort··on Ed Zitron on CNBC: GenAI Doesn't Work, and Big Tech Is Out of Hypergrowth Ideas
How many days in a row can you do this, and then still be able to get things done when Codex is unavailable or the price has been raised to $UNAFFORDABLE?
jordemort··on Tidal AI Policy
Works for me, they also emailed it to me this morning
jordemort··on GTA 6 will cost $80
It will be very interesting to see if this lives up to the hype and/or if it is able to recoup the enormous amount of money spent developing it. The expectations from everyone seem to be so high; it's a very long way to the bottom if it somehow flops.

Personally, things got a little too realistic for me around the time of GTA IV. The earlier games felt like cartoony fun but I started to feel bad about the stuff I was doing in IV. I tried V a year or two back (I think they've maybe remastered it since?) but it ran so terribly on the Steam Deck that I refunded it.

AI splash image; didn't read
jordemort··on Sakana Fugu
Fugu, eh? So there’s a nonzero chance this thing might kill me?

yeah, pointless AI-generated header image --> close tab
jordemort··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Nothing but the highest quality drama and theater from Anthropic, as always
jordemort··on Mmorpg World of ClaudeCraft, vibe coded with Fable 5
What is the point of all these projects like this, except to say that you did something? (that you didn't actually do but half-assed a minimally plausible version of, so hey)

It's tale as old as time at this point: the LLM produced something sort of shaped like some other software, and did it in an impressively short amount of time, but it's basically impossible to bring a codebase made in this way up to production standards, or to maintain it in any reasonable way. Nobody's gonna pay money for this, or want to play it instead of Warcraft. Why should anybody care?

jordemort··on Ask HN: Are you still using a Vision Pro?
I forgot those existed
jordemort··on Confidential submission of draft S-1 to the SEC
One of my least favorite things about AI is that every time you suggest you don’t want anything to do with it, there’s a horde of rapist-brained twits like you waiting in the wings to cry about how inevitable it is. Shut up and go away.
jordemort··on Confidential submission of draft S-1 to the SEC
I have instructed my financial advisor to keep my exposure to the upcoming wave of AI IPOs as close to zero as possible.
jordemort··on LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
Reads like “AI is inevitable” propaganda to me
jordemort··on Ask HN: Is the web for machines (/llm.txt) the one we wished we had as humans?
no
jordemort··on The Public Should Own Half of the Big A.I. Companies
I would prefer not to
jordemort··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
This is great, I hope the people at Meta suffer as much as possible while working for them. They should introduce mandatory eyeball sanders next.
jordemort··on It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12
I would love a way to mute particular domains on this website
jordemort··on The dead economy theory
I'd take this more seriously if it wasn't regularly punctuated by disgusting little slop images
jordemort··on I am retiring from tech to live offline
I am very lucky to be ensconced right now within a team and a company that views the current LLM mania with a similar level of disdain as myself. I'm not sure there's a place for me anywhere else in the industry right now. I wish I had the resources to wander off like this.

I’m sorry, H? How much farther down the alphabet do they plan to go before anyone gets any of that money back?
