Enjoying my last few years as a software dev before I am subsumed into the ai void

Look, I get there are actual risks to consider with distillation attacks

But the frontier labs complaining about it will always be really, really funny

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.

These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

Ragebaiting and restricting replies is a solid addition to the meta

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@AbHomineDeus Sounds like a challenge

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

deleting 4o the day before valentines day makes me almost like openai

[Hunter 🌆 @rhunterh]

I actually use AI the perfect amount. Anyone who uses it less than me is a hopeless Luddite destined for the underclass, anyone who uses it more than me is mindlessly degrading their literacy and erudition.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@stephenjhall And frankly, the even more pessimistic take is that these "fast" versions of models are not dropping to help SWEs, they are dropping to part vibe coders with their money quicker.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

My brain is so broken from the internet that when I see weird takes like this, I can never tell if it's like super dry irony or their actual take and its just weird.

[Stephen Hall @stephenjhall]

LOL.

I’m really sorry guys, but the AI bro “something is happening” influencers are correct.

If you don’t agree, you don’t know how hard it is to make a program that just makes other programs with 5 words of English in 5 seconds.

This is moon landing stuff.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@stephenjhall Anyways, actual response is that I don't think this is "moon landing stuff", for the same reason a lot of SWEs have been shouting from the rooftops the past few months, LoC isn't the primary bottleneck in work. It's certainly cool and and improvement, but not game changing.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@stephenjhall Yeah, I get that. I assumed, I was just sort of dumbfounded that my first reading of the post was that it was a bit and then I realized, wait a sec, this was sincere, and it had nothing to do with how you wrote it, just the culture of the internet these days

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@Icebergy so you know how there are those weird people who reply to everything with a chatbot and don't realize everybody knows they are replying with a chatbot and find them cringe and annoying?

imagine if those people also wanted to fuck their chatbot

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

The "ragebait" meta means people just stick to the bit for way too long.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@DominiqueCAPaul Alright, going to set up some bots to just continuously push empty commits

usa usa usa 🦅

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@nikitabier @DCinvestor @X wait I thought this was a meme, this is head of product

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

When is OpenAi going to drop GLP-1-Codex so I can one-shot my weight loss

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@James_M_South Also, historically, code was NOT the hardest part.

Mythical Man-Month was published in 1975 people.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

Ok, deprecating the ai girlfriend model the day before valentines day is at least a little funny

[OpenAI Newsroom @OpenAINewsroom]

Tomorrow at 10am PT legacy models (GPT-5, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini) will be deprecated in ChatGPT.

@kalomaze @leaguepublicacc Its kind of interesting how wildly different perceptions are. Like there was a bell curve of reactions to moltbook. Super technical people called bs, semi technical people were enamoured, non technical "luddites" also called bs but because ai is fake and a capitalistic ploy

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@_ontologic I'm not even saying this in a "I have a good understanding myself" way. I'm just saying everybody seems to just have a lot of assumptions stemming from a weird mix of culture, religion, and intuition that they never seemed to have sat and been critical of.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

@_ontologic The one thing that has surprised me over the past couple years is how confident the average person is about how consciousness and intelligence works.

[Toby @tobystillhuman]

I'll be real, the codex cli should just also close when you type "exit" cause I've probably spent at least a dime this month on generating "Sure, how would you like me to exit?" messages
