It’s not a hot take. At all. Because I have talked to many folks who have confirmed it’s just “how things used to be”, but: Going out to a diner with a small group and talking is just as valid a way to interact in person with folks in the fandom as going to a convention, if not more so.

@ifixcoinops "I've been thinking a lot about what happened to the Internet lately and what I miss so much about it from when I was young. The original promise was that it would open the entire world of human knowledge to everyone, but instead, the internet today is controlled by algorithms […]

The thing that gets me about LLM boosters is the way they act like they are taking a nuanced stance. LLM haters are just extremists and anti-technology! They don't care about the details and just want to take a "hard no" stance. My stance, on the other hand, is very reasonable and nuanced: LLMs […]

"What, then, of this sneering claim advanced by the hecklers, by the detractors of philosophy and the enemies of wisdom, mere boys all of them, what of this claim they shout, that brevity is the soul of wit?

"Actually you never enjoyed using the internet back then. You fool. You absolute buffoon" would be a funny take relative to how prevalent it is (in extremely-online spaces like here) if it weren't also so pathetic. Some folks feel a burning need to smother joy wherever it is found

@xkeeper.net what a weird fucking 5d chess game they're trying to play. like you faked making an impostor account, and now you are trying to get them to delete it, so that you can... um... well, the important thing is they're not going to fall for it. no action from them, thank you!

"you must hand over your ID to visit this random website" used to be a joke because of how obviously stupid it was. It was shorthand for being scammed

Is it even worth writing novels these days given the publishers are all rabid for AI and self publishing is a joke, also flooded with AI? Who's gonna read your work? How would you even distribute it?

    I don't blame you for having the perspective that you have. I'm not here to convince you that you should feel any differently than you do. And I understand the shitstorm that you went through recently with an asshole user. We've dealt with similar issues, and I was rooting for you. LLMs, like any other tool such as a hammer or a weapon, are not inherently good or bad; it depends entirely upon who wields them. Without going into too much personal detail, I have been a professional game developer for a quarter of a century. I am now the Technical Director at my studio. Starting in late 2025, we received a mandate from our parent company that we needed to start adopting AI in our development processes in order to remain competitive and avoid getting shut down. Did we like it? No. Have all of our experiences been positive? No. Have I seen some good come out of it? Yeah, to be honest, a little. But we have no choice because if we don't do it, the studio gets shut down and a bunch of super talented developers will lose their jobs with very little hope of finding another in today's job market.
(end quoted section)

This is, with all due respect, what we call an "excuse". And I get it! I know a lot of people, I have a lot of friends, who are under similar mandates at their jobs. That they have to do x% amount of code via agent, or they have to use $x in tokens per month, or whatever.

I get it. Between "lose your job" and "compromise", I understand that compromises have to be made. If you must use AI on the job, then you must, and I don't hold it against you.

[in 50 point boldface font] THIS ISN'T YOUR FUCKING JOB.

@ifixcoinops I don't really consider that "working like normal social media" so much as just "working"
