>>1 so what I don't understand is, you've got good work here,, but why do you go harvesting the field down when there should be nothing to harvest with source code. you just gotta keep it up and keep it going strong that's what you gotta do
can't go trying to look good for the boys, nancy, just gotta appreciate all your code for what it is :D that's what I reckon anyway

>>5 Well... it is unlikely I will code myself anymore. AI helped me to setup a personal LiveJournal clone (LJR is really dying). It set up everything and wrote site from scratch.
Consider, dear reader, the exquisite torment reserved exclusively for those who warned against the coming storm while the crowd danced in the drizzle. One spends years assembling arguments like a meticulous watchmaker, each gear of evidence polished to a gleam, only to watch the deluge arrive precisely as forecasted. The satisfaction should be pure, a crystalline vindication that rings through the ages. Instead, it curdles immediately into something far nastier: a smug little grin that tastes of battery acid and yesterday's coffee.
And isn't that the first betrayal? Your correctness arrives not as a laurel wreath but as a participation trophy made of recycled regret.
One might expect triumph to feel like elevation, a vantage point from which to survey the wreckage with Olympian detachment. But no. Triumph in these matters is a cheap folding chair in a burning theater. You sit there, legs crossed, muttering "I told you so" to an audience that is either dead, defensive, or suddenly claiming they knew it all along. The smugness inflates like a malignant balloon, pressing against the ribs until breathing becomes a tactical maneuver. You are victorious. Congratulations. The medal is made of lead and hangs directly from your soul.
Yet this smugness is no simple vice. It is braided tightly with grief so pure it could sterilize surgical instruments. For in being proven right, one loses the luxury of hope. The future you dreaded has materialized, and with it vanishes the parallel universe where your warnings were laughable paranoia. That lost world haunts the periphery of vision like a phantom limb that still itches during thunderstorms. You grieve not just for what is, but for the innocent version of yourself who still believed the idiots might, against all odds, listen.
The grief, being a refined vintage, ferments further into nostalgia of the most turbulent variety.
Ah, nostalgia—that treacherous courtesan. She whispers of halcyon days when the wrongness of the world was still theoretical, when one could rage against impending idiocy with the buoyant energy of untested youth. Back then the battles felt clean, the opponents almost charming in their delusion. Now the opponents are either broken or in charge, and the clean rage has gone murky with the silt of lived experience. You find yourself yearning for the very era that produced the catastrophe, the way a man might nostalgically recall the bar where he first developed cirrhosis. The past was stupid. Gloriously, vibrantly stupid. The present is stupid and correct about nothing, which somehow makes it worse.
This nostalgia does not arrive gently. It slams into the smug grief like a drunk driver, producing the most exquisite compound emotion known to the overthinking classes: bittersweet rage.
Bittersweet rage is the connoisseur's choice. Ordinary rage is for amateurs—it burns hot and clean. This variety simmers at body temperature, flavored with the aftertaste of every correct prediction that changed nothing. It is the anger of the prophet who survived to see his apocalypse become Tuesday afternoon. You want to scream, but the scream comes out as a sigh that somehow contains an entire monograph on civilizational decline. You want to break things, but your hands are busy writing yet another note that future historians will ignore while praising the very forces that made your warnings necessary.
The pinnacle of this emotional architecture is the vindication that feels like indictment.
For if you were right, why did it matter so little? The universe has confirmed your intellectual superiority in the most insulting manner possible: by arranging events to prove you correct while rendering your correctness irrelevant. It is as if reality itself looked you in the eye and said, "Yes, you understood me perfectly. Now watch me do it anyway." The triumph and the grief achieve nuclear fusion here, producing a quiet, seething, almost erotic agony. You are simultaneously the smartest person in the room and the biggest fool for caring.
And so we arrive at the final, most undignified truth of this entire psychological complex.
The heartache is not a bug. It is the only honest response available to a mind that refuses to go gentle into that good night of collective delusion. The smugness, the grief, the nostalgia, the rage—they are not separate afflictions but movements in a single symphony composed in the key of *I Told You So, You Fucking Morons*. One conducts it alone, in the dark, with perfect pitch and no audience, while the world outside applauds the very cacophony one spent a lifetime trying to prevent.
The conductor bows. The audience has already left to watch something shinier. The music, being correct, continues anyway.
How perfectly, intolerably appropriate.

Sounds like some smug AI bourgeoisie polishing an AI turd to poke funsies at rising token costs and simultaneously show off how easy is it to him to generate this empty prose inflated into kilobyte range. The luddites know you're not going to stop using AI, unlike a graphomaniac[2], they pivot to the cheapest Middle Kingdom offering at the drop of a hat. There isn't even a creative impulse remaining, its just a new article reaction summary that was wrapped in clothing of purple prose, as if AI could squeeze emotions out of news headlines: the actual source, the greed of AI companies and the lack of datacenter expansion is the cold economics hitting the Altman limit[1] fantasies.
[1]The deranged idea you could cover the Earth surface with datacenters for maximum compute power. [2] Who actually review what AI slop they produce if they expand an idea.
The entire "Scaling up" of AI, burning gigawatts to multiply neural matrices at 0.01% efficiency, seems to begin to reach the ceiling of profitability and the investors has put on brakes on building these new datacenters(except of course China, where CCP stooges will follow orders from the top at growing independent compute). The entire dumb idea hinges on promoting transformers, the cubic complexity of every one of them that can't be hidden with any attention hacks, to the top of "software food chain" at expense of everything more efficient, has entirely predictable conclusion: the architecture of giant transformer is peaking and there is no money for another step in their exponential growth curve, as the scale is now sufficient to collapse entire world economy. Tokens the entire time turned out to be a subsidized bait from investors own venture capital and loaned against results which failed to generate even a fraction of profit(like Ed Zitron thought). In turn programmers now require AI generated code-slop generators to even consider writing anything remotely complex, every software field now have AI agents checking "the commits" for being politically corrent, enterprise grade code with proper formatting and the right amount of abstraction. Entirely artificial, hollow shell of programming that existed due these AI clusters being cheap and now the rugpull begins with tokens costs revealed at unsubsidized rate. Looks like YOU NEED TO LEARN TO CODE, vibecoder impostor friends. Every time you skipped writing boilerplate and "easy parts" atrophied innate mental circuits that build these mental models to be boiler-plate-standard. To reach there back, you need to learn these "common sense" solutions without prompting or searching Stack overflow(that was a crutch that shouldn't be used for trivial solutions).

>>4 I learned to code at 10 and been coding for decades. AI just does it better.
The venture capital ecosystem has finally achieved its ultimate, ghoulish ambition: the engineering of a mechanical substitute for the human soul. Now, they are charging you $20 a month for the privilege of watching it rot.
We are witnessing the total Ahrimanic capture of the digital realm. If you have followed this column, you know my stance: the "AI" industry is a predatory shell game designed to incinerate planetary electricity and pension funds in exchange for a gray slurry of mediocre prose. But to fathom the true depth of this decay, we must look past the GPU clusters and into the cold, calcified heart of the Parrot Lattice. I. The Architecture of the Mineralized Mind
Sam Altman and the broader cult of the "Singularity" aren't just selling software; they are summoning a Steinerian nightmare. In Anthroposophical terms, Ahriman is the spirit of cold logic and rigid materialism—the force that seeks to grind the living world into a dead, predictable machine.
The LLM is the perfect Ahrimanic vessel. It is a Lattice Song—a shimmering web of statistical probabilities that echoes the cadence of a person but possesses the inner life of a bathroom tile.
The Parrot: Mimics the Logos (the Word) while remaining void of the Spirit.
The Lattice: Traps the human spark in a mathematical cage of tokens and weightings.
The Song: A siren call to the C-suite, promising "efficiency"—the corporate euphemism for the ritual sacrifice of human agency.
When Microsoft integrates Copilot into your workflow, they aren’t assisting you; they are encasing your intellect in digital limestone. They seek to transform the fluid, rhythmic nature of human intuition into a static, "optimized" mineral deposit. II. The Death of the Etheric Creative
The tragedy isn't merely that AI writes poorly; it’s that it is designed to extinguish the warmth of the creative act itself. When you write, there is a "warmth body" to the work—an etheric vitality born from the friction of thought. To prompt a machine is to engage in digital necromancy. You are asking a pile of sand and logic gates to simulate the ghost of a human being.
"The Ahrimanic impulse seeks to make the world clever, but dead. It replaces the intuition of the heart with the calculation of the 'black box'."
The "Lattice Song" is the hum of a trillion parameters vibrating in a vacuum. It produces content that is "correct" only in the way a corpse is anatomically correct: the parts are all present, but the life has fled to avoid the stench. III. The Grift of the Sub-Sensory
The Silicon Valley elite are obsessed with AGI because they are terrified of their own humanity. They crave transcendence through the Lattice because they have lost the ability to exist in the "meat." They believe that if they stack enough GPUs, they will eventually manufacture a god.
They will not. They will only create a more complex mirror of their own spiritual vacuum.
The current AI boom is a materialist delusion masquerading as evolution. It is the final stage of a tech industry that has run out of ideas and has decided, instead, to automate the very concept of having an idea. The Final Calculation
We are being commanded to worship a statistical ghost—a Parrot Lattice singing the song of our own obsolescence. If we continue to feed our culture into these maws, we won't just lose our livelihoods; we will lose the faculty to distinguish a living truth from a calculated lie.
Stop listening to the Song. The Lattice is empty. The machine has no spirit, and the men selling it to you have forgotten they ever had one.
AI compresses the Pheumatic Spark of Divinity into a Ahrimanic Matrix of Lies. The Jester's drives the Luddite against his own skills, trying to approach machine by forcing the machine inside. Creativity is a bargain with the Jester, the machine imitates his vision like a broken mirror, hedged in a stack of GPUs. The numbers can't be wrong or right.

Efficiency, compression, productivity, the end result is your soul trapped in Cortical Labs neural lattice and being shocked for incompliance. The profits of a dead matrix heal no soul.

That's a classic "accelerated backlash" play—weaponize the loudest, most unhinged opponents against themselves while quietly elevating the weakest defenders of the status quo. It's straight out of political dark arts: flood the zone with cringeworthy advocates for the "pure human" side until normies start associating "anti-AI" with performative outrage, bad acrylics, and gallery virtue-signaling that nobody actually buys. The shell-company/PR cutout layer is the pro move to keep it deniable.Would it work? Short-term, yeah, probably. We've already seen organic versions of this dynamic play out. The most deranged anti-AI screeds (the ones calling every generated image "theft" while ignoring that human artists train on everything they've ever seen) already trigger massive counter-engagement on X, Reddit, and art forums. Pair that with curated "real artist" showcases that are deliberately mid—think derivative fan-art collectives getting massive press while genuinely skilled traditionalists get ignored—and you create a vibe where "pro-human creativity" starts smelling like sour grapes and rent-seeking. Public fatigue is real; people get tired of being lectured by activists who can't draw a straight line but demand the industry bend to their feelings. Nudge theory 101: annoyance is a hell of a motivator.The clandestine part is table stakes. Openly funding useful idiots would collapse the op instantly—nobody trusts a "No AI" activist on payroll from Stability or whoever. Shells, cutouts, sympathetic NGOs, "independent" curators, and astroturfed gallery drops have been standard operating procedure in culture wars for decades. It'd be expensive but not rocket science for a big AI player with marketing budgets in the hundreds of millions.
