So long and good riddance.

That's too close to actual programming, vibe coders will never go for it.
Re:New accounts on HN 10x more likely to use EM-dashes on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @08:05PM (#47160433)
I assumed everyone was just using an LLM to give the best response.

Honestly I've lost all respect for people who use LLM generated anything.

> Distillation is a widely used and legitimate training method.

Oh ok, so you can steal from everyone, but when they do it to you, its bad.

I feel like we're all glossing over the whole "pedophile billionaires colluded to throw the United States into chaos" part.
Re:The $100B Megadeal Between OpenAI and Nvidia Is on Ice on Saturday January 31, 2026 @02:31AM (#46834305)
Ha!
There is no need for this many data centers. LLMs are a scourge on humanity as they are currently implemented, and what will they do when these are no longer needed?

I can't wait until OpenAI, NVIDIA and Microsoft all go belly up.

Re:Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work on Monday January 12, 2026 @05:37PM (#46595179)
Damn, yall can't do anything by yourselves.
Why don't you just ask Claude Code to write you a workaround? I'm sure if you say "fix plz" enough times, it'll work eventually.

Re:Developers can now submit apps to ChatGPT on Thursday December 18, 2025 @01:57AM (#46309653)
Once again I have to ask: Aren't we just obfuscating everything to the point of knowledge loss?

Between long COVID and ai, nobody will be able to make fizzbuzz in Java, let alone code a frontend by hand.

YOU didn't port shit, the ai did all the work.
Re:GPT Image 1.5 on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @03:23PM (#46293906)
In the image they showed for the new one, the mechanic was checking a dipstick...that was still in the vehicle.

I really hope everyone is starting to get disillusioned with OpenAI. They're just charging you more and more for what? Shitty images that are easy to sniff out?

In that case, I have a startup for you to invest in. Its a bridge-selling app.

You have to realize ai is way more trash than you actually give it credit for.

Also with the shoveling of it down the people's throats, more people want authentic human experiences.

We built a benchmark tool that says our newest model outperforms everyone else. Trust me bro.

Re:If You're Going to Vibe Code, Why Not Do It in C? on Wednesday December 10, 2025 @01:15AM (#46214650)
>Vibe coding makes me feel dirty in ways that I struggle to articulate precisely. It’s not just that it feels like 'cheating'(though it does). I also think it takes a lot of the fun out of the whole thing.

This exactly. Programming is art, because it comes from the soul. You can tackle a problem a million ways, but there's only one way that YOU would solve it.

Vibe coding feels like people who aren't creative, stealing everyone's creativity, and then morphing it into something they find appealing.

There is no skill.

There is no talent.

You are asking the machine to do ALL THE THINKING. All the little decisions, the quirks, the bugs, the comments to yourself. All the things that make a piece of code unique.

Oh man, that's totally worth $500 Billion dollars and the environmental health of our towns and cities!
Re:Using LLMs at Oxide on Saturday December 06, 2025 @10:42PM (#46178962)
Nobody has yet to explain how an LLM can be better than a well paid human expert.
Every other day its "China creates a breakthrough that was never thought possible" and "America shits in hand; Claps."
How does an email service compare to a glorified if-then machine that hordes all your data?
You should not be feeding your medical records into ChatGPT.

A few billion dollar businesses run out of money due to negligence and greed? Govt:"THEY ARE JUST WITTLE GUYS WHO NEED HELP"

Re:Claude for Excel on Monday October 27, 2025 @09:46PM (#45728437)
Anti-AI bias is motivated by the waste of natural resources due to a handful of non-technical douchebag tech bros.

Everything isn't about money, I know that status and power are all you ai narcissists dream about. But you'll never be Bill Gates, nor will you be Elon Musk.

Once ai has gone the way of "Web3", "NFTs", "blockchain", "3D tvs", etc; You'll find a new grift to latch your life savings onto.

Re:Claude for Excel on Monday October 27, 2025 @09:40PM (#45728411)
HA!

I've worked at MULTIPLE million dollar firms whose entire business relies on 10 Excel workbooks that were created 30 years ago by a person who is either passed on or retired.

Give users who aren't intimately knowledgeable with their source material ai, and you're asking for trouble.

The undo function has a history limit.

The real issue is: at what point are we going to stop chasing efficiency and profit at the sake of humanity?

Claude and OpenAI are built on stretched truths, stolen creativity and what-if statements.

Re:ChatGPT Atlas on Tuesday October 21, 2025 @07:09PM (#45662925)
So you'll never need to remember anything. ChatGPT remembers that PH video from 10 months ago AND the improved recipe for your mom's pasta sauce.

In all seriousness: they won't make a dent in the browser market, people still using GPT resources for free, and if they do start ads why would a company work with a company that's already hemorrhaging billions?

If you stop thinking (a tough ask for ai users, I know) about this from a never-ending money perspective and live in the real world, financially and environmentally it's gonna take decades to undo the damage. All for what?

Re:Replacement.ai on Sunday October 19, 2025 @02:14PM (#45636500)
I for one cannot wait until this bubble bursts.

This has been nothing but a test-run for openly fascistic tech hoes to flex their disdain for everyone who isn't them or in their dumb club.

Re:Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley on Friday October 10, 2025 @11:07PM (#45546245)
AI by and large has done nothing but make our environment worse.

People literally outsource thinking to it.

People have killed themselves because there were no stopgaps in the communication aspect.

Rural towns are getting overly fucked by water and electricity usage, adding in the fumes produced.

All of this for what, so we can make a video of Michael Jackson high-fiving Ghandi?

The implementation was haphazard and some could say felonious, but altm*n is richer than 99% of us, and would never actually see the inside of a courtroom.

Forget PC, its repugnant and incorrect.

You're just spouting dog whistles and fatphobic bullshit.

The system is broken because that's the design.

Yes, ask the billionaire how the anti-billionaire country treated him.

Here's a hint: not well.
