ykurtov··on I Fired My AI Assitant
Ha ha, indeed. The amount of tone deafness here is astonishing. If we pause to think about it - LLM advices the author to stop ruining the internet for profit and he's not happy because he can't automate the platform enshitiffication.

Which he then go and announce to the whole Internet.

At which he successfully lands on his feet after the mental backflip - converting into content the story how we was not able to generate a content.

Marvellous persistence.

ykurtov··on cURL removes bug bounties
It's really hard to comprehend how entitled "reward which would be the cost of lunch in Sweden can be massive for those low socio-economic-located people" is.

A lunch in central Stockholm is well within 200 kronor. I can't imagine a country where an person with a computer and skills necessary to claim a bounty in cURL would consider that amount massive.
