Arguing over political shit with other people who have no power either is the human version of dogs barking at each other over the fence.

Watching Amazon Prime while the Iranians burn.
Stuffing our mouths with cheesysugarbacon
while the sky turns black over Tehran.
Laughing without smiling.
Laughing with full mouths and empty eyes
while their water mixes with oil and blood.

"Hoho this will hurt Trump in the midterms"
the liberal chortles,
masturbating furiously
while ruined parents pull ruined schoolbags
out of ruined schools.
Frolicking on lawns with hamburgers in both fists
doing patchouli tai chi
in clothes made by slaves
as black rain waters gardens
of severed limbs and blown-out eyeballs.

This is our culture.
This is our religion.
Praying to Pornhub while children scream,
telling ourselves it will all be worth it
when Iranian women can do OnlyFans
to pay for boob jobs and butt lifts
and go to Capitalist Heaven when they die.
Jizzing Taco Bells and bail bonds firms
all over the global south,
our bellies full of the flesh of children,
our veins full of plastic
and our mouths full of Lexapro,
dancing at the ballroom covered in blood and brains,
gyrating to AI-generated music
cranked up to maximum volume
to hide the sounds of the explosions
and the gasps of our dying souls.

Oh I'm sorry,
am I bumming you out?
Have a hamburger and a Xanax.
Everything's fine.
This is all normal.
Let's pick the bits of skull and teeth from our hair
and go party.

If Westerners Could Wrap Their Minds Around What War Really Is

"Westerners are able to hold this compartmentalized video game mentality about war because war isn’t something that happens to us. We’ve never had bombs dropped on our neighborhoods."

Reading by Tim Foley.

[aaron @aarondotdev]

the ugly truth is that LLMs are clearly plateauing in how "intelligent" they seem.

they are NOT to the point where they can fully take over coding. anyone who thinks so is either:
>not running a product at scale (it's great for MVPs)
>has a vested interest in ppl believing AGI is 6 months out
>has no idea how to code

yes, there were huge leaps in model capabilities before. but you can count them on one hand. the large companies are quite literally out of data to train these models on, so they're trying different things like synthetic data, better post-training RL loops, task-based fine-tuning.

these are all guesses though. and we haven't been seeing much progress since the last big wave imo (grok 4, gemini 2.5 pro, o3)

almost all proven AI researchers have agreed (and in some cases predicted) this drop off in model quality based on these scaling laws.

in fact, they don't just think that the intelligence returns of scaling will fall off, they think true intelligence is not possible at all with the current LLM based approach.

my point is that if you're a cs major, or a teenager that likes to code, or even in your early career you shouldn't consider leaving the field because of AI.

right now, this moment in time, this might be the BEST that AI coding tools get. and they are nowhere near replacing competent SWEs.

most of what you hear on twitter and in the news are largely propaganda-based glazing of AI because a massive portion of the US economy (all the large tech companies) are basing their future outlook on AI.

a ton of people are going to believe this bs and quit learning to code, change jobs, etc. but here's the most realistic timeline of how this is going to play out:

>publicly traded companies will layoff a ton of employees and say it's because of AI so stonk go up. my company did this a couple years ago. block did it last week. more will do the same.
>cs major will become less competitive because junior hiring has gone down. less people will go into cs.
>only the most dedicated and genuinely interested will remain in cs majors.
>tons of large companies and small companies and individuals will build a metric fuckload or features using cursor, lovable, etc
>these features will look like a mosaic of the most architectural patterns you could ever imagine. how do i know? because i read every single line of code my AI comes up with. probably 70% of it is completely retarded, but if i were to test it, it would "work".
>the SECOND any of these vibe coded shills get any sort of traction, their systems will literally melt because LLMs are garbage at real system architecture. why? because any company at real scale isn't letting dario and sama train on their source code. that would be retarded.
>now we have a ton of people with products that are making money but need someone to come in and fix their shit. good thing we still have those people who got a cs degree because they actually enjoy this task.

AI isn't going to make more software jobs. it's going to make a LOT more shitty software. an unfathomable amount of badly written applications that will need to be rewritten from the ground up.

Un de mes sketchs parlait déjà de « la guerre préventive » et « propre » !
On l’a vu ce samedi : ils ont tué 80 + petites filles dans leur école, de manière « préventive ».Toute personne qui dira le contraire sera traitée d’antisémite, comme moi depuis 20 ans .Ce dimanche 1er mars 20 H , live X prévu ! Ça va être chaud ! 🔥

[Le ₿unker 🪖 @LeBunkerBtc]

Après ton BAC+5, tu es devenu développeur full-stack en CDI dans une boîte du CAC40 qui met "innovation" et "inclusion" dans tous ses PowerPoints.

T'es payé comme un stagiaire luxembourgeois mais t'es plein d'espoir et d'ambition parce que Jean-Luc de la compta avec son pantalon a pince marron et ses spartiates d'handicapé social t'a dit qu'au bout de 5 ans "ça décolle".

En 2020, pendant les confinements, ton DRH t'annonce le télétravail permanent depuis une vidéo Zoom où il porte un col roulé noir comme s'il annonçait l'iPhone 12.

Les politiques et les médias confirment: c'est la bonne chose à faire d'un point de vue sanitaire et aussi pour sauver les pingouins en diminuant les émissions de CO2.

Tu vends ta bagnole, tu quittes ton 28m² à Montreuil où t'entendais ton voisin tousser à travers le mur, tu t'installes en Dordogne dans une maison avec jardin, ta copine est aux anges.

Tu fais tes calls en calebard avec un café en regardant les canards traverser ton terrain et pour la première fois de ta vie tu te dis que la vie est belle et que le vent a tourné en ta faveur. Tu t'imagines même mettre ta grosse en cloque.

En 2024, mail de la direction un lundi à 8h:
"Dans le cadre de notre politique de cohésion d'équipe, la présence au bureau est désormais obligatoire 4 jours sur 5."

Tu revends la maison en Dordogne à contrecoeur et à perte parce que les taux ont quadruplé et que ton acheteur le sait très bien ce fils de pute, ta copine te quitte en prenant le gosse et le labrador parce qu'elle ne veut pas revenir en Île-de-France se faire toucher le cul dans le metro, tout en te réclamant évidemment une pension alimentaire.

Tu reprends un studio à Cergy pour 1000€ par mois avec vue imprenable sur un Lidl et une bretelle d'autoroute, tu rachètes une Sandero d'occasion qui sent le Febreze et le regret, et tu retournes faire 1h30 de bouchons sur l'A15 matin et soir entre un camion polonais et un utilitaire Amazon en te disant que t'aurais jamais dû écouter ce connard de DRH.

En 2026, ton manager t'invite à un call Teams un vendredi à 17h58:
"On a automatisé une grande partie de tes tâches avec notre nouvel outil IA. On te propose une rupture conventionnelle."

T'as 34 ans, un crédit auto en cours, un studio que tu peux plus payer, Magali qui te réclame la pension pour le chiard et le clebs et un CV dont la compétence principale vient d'être remplacée par un prompt de 3 lignes qu'un stagiaire a copié depuis Reddit.
