Is there a pivottoai that I missed that introduces this? At some point people just started saying “clawd” like it’s a real word and I have zero idea what it is, or if I even should know what it is.

EDIT: huh, yes I did: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/28/moltbot-clawdbot-an-expensive-and-insecure-ai-agent-that-doesnt-work/

At this point I’m starting the suspect that they were actually all produced in a lab somewhere on that island

He doesn’t even seem to grasp the concept that a machine needs to take input; none of his examples even consider that.

This is the fundamental mistake that students taking Intro to Computation Theory make and like the first step to teach them is to make them understand that P, NP, and other classes only make sense when you rigorously define the set of inputs and its encoding.

None of those words are in your favourite religious text of choice

I had to do a triple take on that “won’t deem anyone inferior” like what the fuck are you talking about. The core of conservatism is the belief in rigid hierarchies! Hierarchies have superiors and inferiors by definition!

Excellent BSky sneer about the preposterous “free AI training” the Brits came up with. 10/10, quality sneer.

I especially love the third task because that’s exactly the kind of shit you get thrown on your plate in the field as a SWE.

There’s been some work an old member of our team did a year ago. No one remembers what it was, but it is important. Please do something.

That’s almost exactly one of the first tasks I got as an intern when I was starting out. THIS is what they are saying LLMs are going to replace.

Vibe coding is of course a less than optimal process for the kind of tasks you’ve specified here

Oh no, tasks that have actual concrete outcomes and requirements! Vibe coders biggest nemesis!

I saw people mentioning “Gas Town” like it’s a well-known meme and every time I searched it the top result was the GAS coin and I was like what’s going on, why is everyone talking about a meme coin, what’s even the root that is being memecoined here.

Well now I know and I need to puke, thx David, I love/hate you

The device, which Heyneman said does not work

Wait what xD

I’m sorry, so what the fuck was this entire charade for, why did you have actual wires and boards if the thing wasn’t even supposed to work. What are you doing man.

In some sense this is very emblematic of techbro culture - I have a box that is presenting like a tech device and has “code” inside, even though it doesn’t actually do anything I’d like a million dollars.

That’s somehow even dumber because it means they are actually aware of the risk but they lack the second braincell required to push it to the correct conclusion

Is this the first time you’re hearing about that particular method of credential redistribution?

“Is this the first time you’re hearing about that particular method of sharing lewd imagery” he says about a man running butt-naked directly into the town square and screaming LOOK AT ME I AM BUTT-NAKED

Ye unfortunately it is. I mean it’s obvious in hindsight someone would be this stupid, but jesus fucking christ

Post your credit card details to the blockchain while you’re at it

Edit: read the Watchtowr post, jfc that’s even fucking dumber, they explicitly fucking convert it to a saved URL?! My dudes. That’s two galaxies and a nebula beyond “I accidentally 'git commit -am’med it”

but viss says they’ve found credentials, which is fun.

wait, doesn’t that imply that people are raw-dogging their creds into the chatbot window

“sarcasm is the lowest form of wit”

Don’t know who the source of this quote is but it sounds like cope by someone bad at sarcasm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m sure not updating your OS will save you from all security exploits, that’s a sound strategy

I don’t (directly) have a financial horse in this, I’m just afraid the market can remain irrational so long my brain becomes fucking liquid

Because they’ll make humanoid robots that will conquer the world. At least that’s the current story.

My problem with this is that I don’t know what the actual spark for collapse would be. Like, we all know this is unsustainable vaporware, but that doesn’t seem to affect the market at all. So when does this collapse? People have been talking about the collapse for two years now. Is there anything that prevents the market from just remaining insane forever and ever in perpetuity?
