okay i get all the comments about people finding it hard to stop working with llms now
i'm trying out claude code on a new crate design, and it's honestly a little bit magic to see it grasp all the edge cases i'd been considering and then just write all the "obvious" code

You can ask for cheaper consumer GPUs without having a meltdown about datacenters as if they're ontologically evil.
I want one too but I don't shape all my beliefs on technology and politics around what's essentially a treat.

yeah no i'll get right on that. let me just task my clawdbot. i mean my openclaw. they'll send beads to each other. and then the polecat in the gastown will pick it up. and then CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS will spin up on the gastown. and then the moltbook will communicate it

there is a pervasive "lead in mouth as child" syndrome on this website that manifests itself in the replies to moderately controversial posts from sufficiently large accounts
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
