  Someone just wrote “I think Fable is more intelligent than me” on lobste.rs (they then deleted this comment), but sheesh. That’s a disturbing thing to read. I hope they are okay. Reading things like that really worries me, like what kind of actual damage is being done to those who engage with these tools?

  Really need a git forge that stores issues/prs in the repo, so that mirrors have that stuff as well. Like now I am mirroring gram from codeberg to my own forgejo, but what good does that do me? It's just the code, and I have the code locally on a couple of machines already. What I need mirrored are the issues and prs, so I can work with that stuff even if codeberg is down. Maybe I should look into radicle... I don't think tangled is doing anything useful there either? Seems to me that&#3...

  Feels like we’re stuck in a tech news Groundhog Day just recycling the same news over and over. A new open source project turns out to be slop.An old open source project adopts slop-based development practices.A middle-aged white guy falls in love with his AI girlfriend which he names ”Lucia”.A paper is published showing major frontal-lobe damage after minutes of AI usage.A Silicon Valley tech giant claims massive gains using AI while laying off half the staff.Some cloud service is having an ex...

  The suits at Morgoslop Slophub are starting to feel the consequences of wanting too much. They delved too greedily and too deep. More code, more productivity, more content. More is more, as Yngwie says. Well, you got what you asked for. Your product is shit. You are drowning in it. Your lungs are burning. It's in your eyes. No one can help you now.

  @carl@heath.social Det enda jag hört från svensk sida är att flera myndigheter och större företag just nu påbörjar migreringar till amerikanska moln, inte bort från dem. Totalt vansinne.

  ”Here, through a series of randomized controlled trials on human-AI interactions (N= 1, 222), we provide causal evidence for two key consequences of AI assistance: reduced persistence and impairment of unassisted performance.” ”Our results are notable on two fronts. First, while concern about AI-induced deskilling has grown, prior evidence has been largely correlational (Budzy´ n et al., 2025; Gerlich, 2025) or limited to small samples (Kosmyna et al., 2025; Shen & Tamkin, 2026). Here, thro...

  One question that has been on my mind since I forked Zed is why it's such a huge project. It's a text editor. What does all that code really do? I still don't know if I understand why. I have looked at a fraction of the code at this point. What does it all do? Fuck if I know. But here, take a look at this for example... Python support in Gram (forked from Zed) is mainly provided by python.rs, a single file containing 2865 lines of code (as of today). One part of that code is a func...

  Liked them so much I tried making a couple of variants for Gram. https://codeberg.org/krig/gram-crt-theme https://goto.liten.app/@krig/statuses/01KMSQ9XGZF5Z5AE09SE4G4PHQ

  There is a ”Technical Program Manager at Google” posting LLM-generated slop articles about concurrency to lobste.rs and HN getting onto the front page, and it annoys me on several levels. The articles are plausible-sounding (to a casual reader) but wrong, which is bad enough. But I can see how to an unscrupulous person this kind of thing makes perfect sense. They use the slop to boost themselves and their careers, and the risk is minimal since someone has to actually understand things like Erlan...
