> It gets worse. I found another article about the same podcast: Sam Altman says AI won’t shorten the workweek because humans secretly enjoy being busy.

> “I think we’re all going to be much busier than we thought we were supposed to be in a post-superintelligence world. We’re still going to complain about it, but secretly we’re going to be happy,” Altman concluded.

we’re still going to be working ourselves to death but sam altman of openai pretends to believe we’ll secretly be happy about it

we’re going to work through injury because we can’t afford time off and sam “the singularity will end poverty and climate change and now the singularity is here” altman of previous fame as a patent medicine barker is confident that we’ll secretly be happy

my industry is unrecognizably awful due to sam fucking altman but he’s confident I’m secretly happy

fedi rushing to insist on libreoffice when someone mentions microsoft office in any context at all

We took time off shitting ourselves, but we’re back. Our pants have changed again, so we’re here as an independent voice for people who shit themselves and wallow in it.

PSA since Firefox is shitting again: proton is owned by the same type of fascists as mullvad, and ladybird is AI slop made by a white supremacist

go donate to servo, they need it

“just fork it if you’re not happy,” says the unjust man, so you fork it

he breaks API compatibility, gets another half-million from his corporate sponsors, and sends a bunch of weirdos to harass your fork until further development isn’t possible

“just fork it if you’re not happy,” says the unjust man

it took a surprisingly long time and a bunch of boosts but my thread about linus being a shithead finally got the first poster telling me I’m overreacting about his pejorative use of SJW 🎉🎉🎉

let’s see how that shit plays on fedi

I guess the good thing is we’ve finally answered the unvoiced question “who even uses SJW in 2026”

it’s these motherfuckers. linus isn’t even cool enough to like video games but he and his inner circle sure as fuck miss gamergate

wow! a right-wing shithead telling me I’m the problem for being angry about a shitty situation! I’ve never encountered this before in all my decades working in the industry that most closely resembles satan’s asshole

little pissbaby uses a machine full of GPUs he made with the other toxic linus to render Claude Code’s godawful CLI a little faster and then he asks claude to warm up his milk and change his diaper and it fucks both tasks up

thank you to the community for the parts of linux that don’t suck

fuck you to linus and a short list of corporations for the rest

I would legitimately not give a shit about linux and neither would anyone else, except that it’s a social collective of labor donated under an understanding that linus has violated

“oh no, you’ll miss out on all the Linux-only APIs red hat cooked up” yes please

you have no idea how massive some of the hacks behind your allegedly working desktop are til you try and build anything on red hat’s crap

linux “isn’t a social warrior project” and should only be evaluated on its technical merits? ok!

it’s a mediocre unix-like and the only reason why I use it is because of binary compatibility and drivers, things that linus didn’t contribute to the kernel in any way that matters for modern programs or hardware

if not for compatibility and drivers, I’d be on a BSD

since it’s not a “social warrior project” and the use of LLMs is going to make its codebase fucking unsustainable, I now struggle to technically differentiate the Linux kernel from the windows kernel in any way that matters

“just fork it if you’re not happy” said the guy who runs the social structure that makes an effective fork impossible to the people who did the social and technical labor that made him comfortably wealthy and extremely powerful

“just fork it if you’re not happy” said the head of the open source project that sucked the air out of all the alternatives, as large projects always do in open source spaces

@kevingranade @danielquinn exactly! somehow the “you can’t kick out toxic contributors, look at what they’ve done for us” guys never pay attention when their toxic faves bully marginalized contributors out of projects, and they never do the easy analysis or extrapolation to determine the damage caused by the loudest voices on the project being toxic

I keep watching this stuff kill projects, but somehow the idea that we should do anything at all to prevent or remedy it is unthinkable for a lot of these guys

and while we’re here, I’ve covered this before but the sealions have been arfing and clapping about it again

“aren’t you worried that a ban on slop will discourage legitimate contributions”

if your contributions are so bad they look like slop, you should be discouraged

LLM code is uniquely godawful in a way that only a machine remixing a bunch of plagarized crap can be

it’s really not that hard to spot it at all, and the only people I’ve seen try to weaponize a false accusation are slop fans trying to make a point. because they’re fucking dickheads and everything is a weapon to them.

besides everything else, a ban on LLM code is a ban on low-quality code

the sealions doing their work yet again to DARVO us about an LLM ban can’t process that, because they think LLM code is good

we don’t in fact have to accept low-quality trash

we don’t have to accept good code from dickheads either

LLM slop happens to be both very bad and contributed by someone you really don’t want as part of your community

you know, maybe the fuckers unabashedly telling us they’d lie at the first inconvenience are, in fact, misrepresenting the situation in some way in order to extract an advantage over us

“boy don’t you feel foolish, you fell for this LLM generated code/generative art for a few minutes”

no fucker, I feel angry

why in fuck would this ever be a shame on me situation

you’re a conman running a con, and like all conmen you got really good at tricking people for long enough to mug them and run

anyway I’ve been looking up packages lately for specific purposes and I keep getting very new, very confident packages that seem to solve my exact problem!

the repos hide it but I can tell within seconds they’re slop by how their readmes look, and when I dig into the commit log it becomes even more obvious

and then the repo owner just admits it in conversation because again these embarrassing fuckers can’t ever shut the fuck up even when they’re trying to trick you

they want a pat on the head for fooling you into thinking they did a good job, that’s the point of an LLM

it’s so weird that I won’t take advice on the nature and dynamics of lying from the most unpleasant men I’ve encountered in my field, as they tell me themselves that they’d rather lie to my face than respect my boundaries and my consent
