Yegge is (or was) a software developer, he should know perfectly well that this could happen, he could only claim the opposite by resorting to mental insanity.

And despite my disdain for AI companies, I'd prefer a world where you're assumed to be aware of the dangers of using AI, and responsible for how recklessly you use it, to one where we pretend that they'll ever be reliable enough.

Of course the AI companies are responsible for what they say; if they claimed that you don't need to carefully inspect the output of their clankers, they sure hold part of the responsibility.


in terms of mental insanity as a legal defense, you should read his blog post about joining "Grab" in 2018, where he said that food delivery is going to replace restaurants (and food trucks for some reason) with everyone ordering food from each others' houses

Damn. Drawing the line on steve between mentally insane, scam artist and developer would be really flat line.

i suspect "well-rested-and-vested troll" -- perhaps the most generous assessment -- is in the mix too.

Using your brain is so 2024, in 2026 you leave that to the AI


It's an odd fascism that hadn't yet managed to take over the elections too.

Your account name is so fitting

Now look up who he actually is.


Sure, and zero ads and total privacy, as well

Ads would never be used for malware either, thankfully.

Two weeks who would have guessed xD

Came here to say this


Just have a look at the final picture if you're unsure if it's slop

Quite some slop

Has it become unreasonable to use an image editor for anything? At least to stamp some readable text on top of your slop??


Sometimes I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The slop-typos aside, "Jeffrey Snover" is just completely wrong all over his infographic.

He's claiming Microsoft pitched "WitdFT" (sic), "HTMLAl5" (sic), and "C++" sonuitaneously (sic) at Build 2012.

HTML5 was released in 2008 and the C++ reference was released in 1985. How is this acceptable?
