@wholyv Software people have to deal with the consequences of ai slop

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@_lhermann A lot of it is ai, didnt create the problem but intensified it

I like writing code, I like debugging, no clanker can take it away

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@sudo_goreng Wow someone sharing how they use ai in a way thats actually useful and noteworthy
Rare post

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@sagharborcap No it hasn't if you are actually trying to LEARN ffs.
If the only goal was speedrunning your homework then sure

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@DCinvestor Its net impact overall is negative
Its most intense impact is found in empowering scammers, fraudsters, spammers
It has good uses too, but the negative uses are far outweighing the positive at this point in time

@oliverbrocato Hahahahah thanks king you have removed my ai fatigue for the day

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@molecularmusing Most of it is people that got filtered from engineering roles to begin with, and now that they have touched claude code they think they are superhuman. Its dunning-kruger effect at scale.
Don't forget people can and often lie on the internet.

Paas is dead, use my poorly done slopcoded k8s implementation instead

[Dennison @DennisonBertram]

PaaS is dead.

I just killed @vercel, @Railway (srry love ya'll), @Firebase and many more.

Deploy from git.
Zero config.

A Platform as a Service entirely run by your agent. No vendor locking.

A @Hetzner_Online server and you're done.

Are people really this shameless?
At best this will autocomplete some college student research assignment. At worst this is going to flood genuine research communities(medical, engineering, social sciences) with complete nonsense papers that make it harder to do real research

[Charly Wargnier @DataChaz]

THIS is the wildest open-source project I’ve seen this month.

We were all hyped about @karpathy's autoresearch project automating the experiment loop a few weeks ago.
(ICYMI → https://t.co/ieuH8c0Y4x)

But a bunch of folks just took it ten steps further and automated the entire scientific method end-to-end.

It's called AutoResearchClaw, and it's fully open-source.

You pass it a single CLI command with a raw idea, and it completely takes over 🤯

The 23-stage loop they designed is insane:

✦ First, it handles the literature review.
- It searches arXiv and Semantic Scholar for real papers
- Cross-references them against DataCite and CrossRef.
- No fake papers make it through.

✦ Second, it runs the sandbox.
- It generates the code from scratch.
- If the code breaks, it self-heals.
- You don't have to step in.

✦ Finally, it writes the paper.
- It structures 5,000+ words into Introduction, Related Work, Method, and Experiments.
- Formats the math, generates the comparison charts,
- Then wraps the whole thing in official ICML or ICLR LaTeX templates.

You can set it to pause for human approval, or you can just pass the --auto-approve flag and walk away.

What it spits out at the end:
→ Full academic paper draft
→ Conference-grade .tex files
→ Verified, hallucination-free citations
→ All experiment scripts and sandbox results

This is what autonomous AI agents actually look like in 2026.

Free and open-source. Link to repo in 🧵 ↓

@MegaBasedChad Hes right most of the time though

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@jessegenet What does "get good at using ai" even mean its not hard to use.

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@georgecurtiss lol

[Eric Lewellen @redlewel]

@jessethanley YOU NEVER MAKE MISTAKES, now..

Jensen knows hes baiting people here cmon, guy has been working with Linux for decades

[The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 @startupideaspod]

"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang

This is the early PC era all over again.

A few power users see it.

Everyone else hasn't even started.

"It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years."

A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team.

The leverage is absurd.

@zeeg I think for professionals the more important thing is skill atrophy relying too much on LLMs.
For devs with 8+ YOE it doesn't matter as much but for early-mid career swes I think keeping a tight relationship with the code is vital
